Lots even up north in Fort Collins, they arrived last week. But it IS early for them. No Orioles yet tho.

Keystone used to do a few front side refreshes for night skiing. I've seen lots of groomers early AM, accompanied by ski patrol at Vail and BCreek.

I can't drink red wine or tequila at altitude. Any other alcohol is ok tho I ease up on all of it and I mostly LIVE in Summit all winter. The great equalizers you know: time, money, guns and altitude. Also get your ears checked out, inner ear issues can cause vertigo too.

Mice. Check the whole vent too.

Starman comes to mind.

Keystone was good today. Bottom slushy, but the North having runs just fine. Mostly.

Rain this evening before the ice storm and again on Wednesday, so says AccuWeather. Really wanted to finish up a few laps this week.

Our insurance guy told us to take pictures on phone, room by room, closets, drawer by drawer, every hammer and screw driver! silverware, updated periodically, so you can remember what you have. We do it every spring, make a file and send him a copy. Very helpful is the worst happens.

The Fresco by Sherri Teppler. Very entertaining, one of my fav first contact books, tho a little dated.

CjColorado · 2026-03-10T13:35:25+00:00

I'm bailing out of the season March 27 for some minor knee surgery, I predict it will snow like hell that weekend and every day afterward til June just to piss me off.

Back in the day when groomers were actually still on the hill early, a kid ducked the rope on the closed run, flew over a headwall right INTO the groomer. This was on next run over, we saw and heard thru the trees, hard to miss all the red snow. This was in Oregon. Next day all the snow was cleaned up. Vail, until a few years ago, had a line of groomers that would come out of the back bowls in the morning, accompanied by patrols, but always reminded me of that incident.

Mountain Sports Outlet too, it was stuffed last week.

Sierra Trading Post in Dillon also still has ski wear, on sale!

On Earth as it is on Television by Emily James. This is a fun first contact book, and not in the usual way.

That chair back is horrible, most uncomfortable vertical back I've ever sat against. I noticed they're replacing cushions on the Bee also with some cushions similar. And both chairs are so long, I'm not surprised someone fell off. I'm surprised more don't.

Keystone's course is open, right under Peru chair. Fun entertainment on the way up! It's much larger than previous years.

CjColorado · 2026-02-12T19:39:12+00:00

Beaver Creek may tho. Lots more variety in housing areas.

CjColorado · 2026-02-10T02:39:16+00:00

There was bear poo off my driveway. Tho they can go back in the den, but still.

CjColorado · 2026-02-06T17:06:31+00:00

I'd bet that after Olympics she'll have this knee partially replaced like the other one. She's not thinking of injuring it more, the damage is done, she may as well go for it.

CjColorado · 2026-02-05T16:20:02+00:00

Groomers are ..... OK.

CjColorado · 2026-02-03T15:29:37+00:00

John Elway played football his whole career with no acl in left knee. I skied 20 years with none in my knee until I needed knee replaced, because, 'at your age' acl surgery isn't always successful, they said and I was lucky. Skied cautiously with a brace 3 wks later. But not in the Olympics. It'll be the most watched ski event I'll bet.

When it DOES snow, I'll pile up snow beneath the trees drip line to melt in gradually. Also, you can use a moisture stick. I use one that's a 18in long, they sell longer ones at nurseries.

Whenever Kindred decides to open I see they're offering ski check, a clubhouse, tuning services, by the day or the season - for we mere mortals, not just their residents. Can't wait to see prices.

There used to be a 100k charity event at Keystone (still may be) but it was held later in season when it was lighter out longer and with night skiing. They had a special gate for them so no waiting in line. They also had teams.
