SKI REPORT TIME-
Alright guyz, got back from the ski trip last night and wanted to give all you Ski Bums a breakdown of the awesome gnar gnar pow pow currently blanketing Colorado. It snowed continuously from Thursday through Monday, total of about 18 inches at our house in Frisco and a lot more on the actual mountains. I've been out to Colorado 5 times in the past 4 years and this was by far the best skiing I have ever experienced. None of the runs were iced over at any point and the gnar gnar pow pow came down non stop the entire trip. I had never skied in this much chowder and it took me a while to learn the in's and outs, found myself waist deep in gnar gnar a couple of times.
Friday, Breck- Least amount of pow pow we saw on the trip but they still had about 4 inches in the previous 24 hours. Didn't get to hit many runs since we kind of skied in a big group and the girls slowed us down. We ditched them in the afternoon and went up to the new blue runs they built above the treeline. Got up to the top and couldn't see crap due to blowing snow, still fun tho.
Saturday, Copper MTN- I had not skied Copper since I was a youngster and I was pretty impressed. They got about 6 inches of snow before we got there and it kept coming down. Took a 2 hour break to pound some beers and watch the game on my phone then tore up some blacks. We named our favorite run(hallelujah) the "Marcus Foster" in honor of his 34 point game.
Sunday, A-Basin- The roads were pretty shitty and it took about 1 hour to get to A basin from Frisco but WOW, it was worth it. FOURTEEN INCHES OF FRESH SOFT BEAUTIFUL GNAR GNAR POW POW FOR US TO SHRED. The visibility was complete crap at the top of the mountain and you couldn't see where you were going or what the snow looked like in front of you but it didn't matter because if you fell the sweet sweet pow pow would catch you(That's what I told myself, never fell though
) . There was absolutely no one on the back of the mountain(Montezuma bowl) but I only did a couple of runs before heading back to the lower mountain due to the poor visibility. The lines at the bottom were super short in the afternoon and I spent most of the day doing my best Darren Sproles impression through the trees.
