Ski Season is around the corner!!!

Jess, can I crash on your couch?

DH and I skied Loveland a few years ago, and loved it! So different from what we ski here...

Absolutely! I grew up skiing in Virginia, my first day on the slopes here was crazy. I like Utah a little better than CO but just b/c it's cheaper. And because I love Snowbird.

Keep your fingers crossed that A-basin stays open til June so I can get a run or two in this season!!

I skied A-Basin today. It was awesome and not over crowded. It was snowing all day and pretty cold.

Many years A-Basin closes the 4th of July. The last several years they've been closing in June because of construction projects. This summer they installed a new high speed quad at the base. Even with a light snow year last year, I skied A-Basin on May 15th in powder.

I agree that Utah may be cheaper than Aspen, Vail or Telluride but there are multi-mountain passes available to front rangers for all the front range resorts. I skied 73 days last year and it cost me approx. $10 per day. That included all resorts in the Summit Cty area, except Loveland, Winter Park and Steamboat.

Some of us aren't able to get out 73 days in a season

Counting a week in Park City, I went...8 days last year.

But I probably saw you on the webcam at A-basin today! I kept checking to see if it was still snowing.

I'm retired!

It's still snowing lightly here on Buffalo Mtn, above the outlet mall. I'm hoping it just keeps snowing and snowing until May, then I start bicycling.

My friends have a view of Buffalo Mtn right from their place. Wow.
They won't be up there until New Years, but he (who is also retired) will get a ton of days at all those areas (including Loveland, b/c at 70+, he gets a screamin' good deal on a pass) in this year, no doubt. Hopefully, some of them will be with us!

DH tells me we got our first inch of snow in Edmonton. However, I'm currently enjoying tropical storms in Seattle. Reports of snow in the mountains here too!

I think we went 3 times last season - Loveland and A-basin. This year, I get an Epic Pass from work (YIPPEEE!!!) and when I was out at lunch today looking at the mountains, it made me long to have that pass in hand!!! Hope we get them before Nov. 11th, as I'm off for the Holiday.

I'm so jealous of you!

I just gave my board to a coworker for the season. If it's out of the house, I won't be tempted to try.

Yeah, ski season is around the corner and my skis and snowshoes are packed deep in the bowels of storage unit 818
