where you guys headed? i may be in....i'll let you know.

Berthoud Saturday. Yes it's Official I am in. I was up at the Loveland Ski area yesterday for Dealer Demo days. They got absolutely pounded there. The ski area looked like January not November 15th. My guess is they could have around 80-90% of the mountain open right now if they wanted.

Chairlift!!! What the F$$%^@*^%&$**^@#ck??? Poser. 8^)

Yeah, & I'm gonna be on snowblades 'cause they are sooooo cool. They are made for deep powder, right? :righton:

killclimbz - from where do you get your snow reports? inquiring minds wish to know.

Monarch Pass is getting some good snow and is catching up btw...

the monarch backcountry is even sicker than the resort. there was at least 2 feet of powder--it was essentially bottomless. i stayed in the trees because it was _very_ windy and just barely above zero degrees F, and also because i was alone since none of you slackers will ever ski with me. the slopes i was on (NE) were stable, but the trees were thick. i saw evidence of natural releases with 1-2 foot crowns on several aspects.

as a side note, this was my first day on fixed-heel gear. i bought a super-light randonee setup this season. it was incredible how much easier both the uphill and downhill were--i'd say at most 60% of the effort of telemarking. i am tempted to sell the tele gear, but i'm still addicted to the turn....
