Bluebird skiing today in PC Canyons side. Dumped a couple of inches last night which brought out all the locals this am. 30 minute wait to get up the mountain. Pretty good after that.

Come up and let him hang out. Spa, sauna, hot tub, and maybe do a dog sled or snow mobile? If you're headed around Vail we have a couple sleds… Will be back in the Grand/Vail Valley Tuesday.

The prices are going to go way up. I really like A Basin because of the old feel.Lt. Joe Bookman said:

They haven't made any changes at Schweitzer yet but I expect they'll be coming.docb said:The prices are going to go way up. I really like A Basin because of the old feel.Lt. Joe Bookman said:

I just got back from Angel Fire yesterday. It got about a foot of snow over the course of the weekend and was pretty good skiing. There's no one on the mountain Thursday or Friday but Saturday was pretty packed as to be expected with the fresh fall on Friday. But even with it being packed, we maybe had to wait 10 min max at a lift. Thursday and Friday there were no waits whatsoever. But with it not being the biggest mountain by 11am or so on Saturday, all the runs were choppy as all get out but the wind and fresh snow smoothed it out by 2pm or so after everyone left.rich1 said:
Does anyone ski New Mexico? Heading to Santa Fe this weekend. Looks like they should be in good shape.
Is Lookout Pass much further from where you are? Obviously, it's much smaller, but sometimes those smaller resorts are more family friendly. I probably sound like a broken record on this thread, but I love our little local hill that we go to.rather be fishing said:They haven't made any changes at Schweitzer yet but I expect they'll be coming.docb said:The prices are going to go way up.

I was talking to a guy in the ski shop that has a location up at the mountain and he said he's worked in shops at 2 other hills they bought out. Per him, the SOP is to do nothing for 2 seasons and then they start making changes.
We'll see. I'm already having a hard time justifying the expense we paid this year for a my season pass and 3 months of childcare/lessons, plus a locker in the lodge.
The parking situation is absolute crap, otherwise I wouldn't have any problem carrying my skis in everyday.

How were the conditions in NM over spring break? Might do Angel Fire but did not know if it was slushy or too warm?ChipFTAC01 said:rich1 said:

I skiied Santa Fe for the first time last spring break. Was very pleasantly surprised with what a great little mountain it was. Even being there in the middle of Texas spring break it was never crowded or had to wait for lines. Well laid out mountain. Great place for kids to learn. We're going back this spring break.

I went on Friday and there was still plenty of powder. Tried to go Saturday, but they ran out of parking. Even then it didn't look packed on the cameras, so It should still be very good into next weekend.Lt. Joe Bookman said:
Shasta / NorCal is getting dumped on… but it's so windy that all the lifts are on hold. Was planning on taking off today to ski the pow but went to work instead. Hoping that they closed all day so I can get some freshies tomorrow. Since they were closed yesterday as well, it would be 24"+ of untouched.

Why did I get a season pass when I can't even ski because of parking?!
