Headed to Breck today. Skiing Mon-Fri. We have Epic passes, so we will bounce around to Breck, Vail, Beaver Creek and Keystone. Any suggestions on which have the best conditions? No interest in expert terrain, just blacks and below. Probably ski 4 days. May head to Denver Wednesday night to catch the Stars/Avs game.
rather be fishing

Schweitzer held the back bowl closed yesterday so it was a free for all this morning. 17" of fresh powder. It was glorious.

Can't speak for the others but Breck was way better than expected this last week and picked up a foot and a half over the last 7 days so got a little bit of additional fill in

Just put a coat of Purl purple on the bottoms. Well, waiting for it to cool so I can scrape and brush. 5 days and I'll be on my way to WC/Purg.

Just got off the mountain at WP. Another beautiful day of skiing for our last day. Feel like we were extremely blessed the three days we were on the mountain, but the snow is definitely taking a beating. It was good for most of the day, but the last couple hours started get slushy. This coming week is going to be brutal for most all of Colorado starting on Tuesday. Highs in the mid to upper 40s and it creeps into the 60s by the end of the week. The snow is going to disappear quick and what's left will be a skating rink. Denver just started one of their three weeks of split Spring Breaks today and everything will most likely be unskiable by the end of this week.

You'll want to Go Yellow. It's gonna be 40+ degrees. Purple is for below freezing.

Thoughts on end of the month?

If it was free, I'd still probs pass honestly. I've never seen it this bad March 14th. Not when close honestly.

Like I've said I spent 1.5 years on skiis. As Bayou said, even free, pass. Folks, the season (actually the season never existed) is OVER. Move on. No more tries or hopes for skiing this year,

Just got back from 4 days at Granby Ranch. My favorite runs were closed, but they were doing a good job keeping (most of) the open runs groomed and cleaned up. Fifty degree highs 3 of 4 days with overnight freezes turned the 18" base into a crunchy slush by early afternoon each day.

On the plus side, my girls were doing significantly better than our last trip 2 year ago, with one of them fully grasping parallel turns and begging to go faster and do bigger blues.

Tiny crowds for spring break, to the point that GR was offering 25% off coupons for Spring Break for the last few weeks. Kept the lift lines short, but a small resort like GR with half the runs closed gets real repetitive after 4 days.

It's all I have right now, but thanks for letting me know. I'll have to order a block of the yellow.

1" at Beaver Creek and a nice cold spell. Should give us a couple of days of decent skiing. 68 and sunny on Friday is going to be the death knell.

Glad I brought my fly rod and waders. Looks like I'll be hitting up the tailwaters of the Blue more than the slopes.
oh no

Spent all day in the trees at steamboat yesterday. It's icy, but when there's no lines at the back bowl morningside lift, we stay there and keep exploring and lapping all day. Still had a blast six days of skiing despite the lowest base in over 40 years.

Great idea!

For anybody coming to Purgatory that wants to fish the San Juan, give me a call! I'm a full time guide on the river and San Juan Mtns (summer).

It's so windy at Purg today that they have shut down most the lifts.

Got home from our spring break trip to Big Sky last night. Only an inch or two of snow all week, but the base was solid and maybe ~10% of the terrain was closed. A warm day on Monday made for some icy conditions most of the week, but we had a blast. The two older kids crushed their first triple black and the youngest and I eased down his first double.

It's amazing to see how much they've improved with one or two trips per year (4-5 days each trip). We do put them in ski school at least 3-4 days per year, with family ski days and a private family lesson here and there. There are few things I enjoy more than watching them rip down the mountain together. And if you don't have cardo pack talk to listen to the sounds of joy and excitement your kids make while running down the mountain, you're doing it wrong!! I can't recommend it more.

I most likely past you going the other way, that didn't look fun.

I didn't look ahead at forecast or road conditions this morning before heading to Keystone for the day. Unpleasantly surprised by driving conditions and traffic. Worst part is my house in South Denver got more snow than the mountain.

Yep! We left Colorado Springs this am and drove through a white out into Denver. And then again at Loveland.

Yep, hoping there are not any major consequences for folks up there.
