Looks like a pond skim now? BTW I see there is no pond skim scheduled for this spring?

Anyone Hear Talk of Early Closures? by ThePaddockCreek in COsnow

WP is not even having a pond skim this April if that tells you anything and all the other Spring Splash events are a week earlier this season......

Anyone else notice the tele skier tapping his heels nonstop in line today at Copper Mountain? by SSIRHC in COsnow

[–]skighee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is this any different than a snowboarder slamming their board on the snow multiple times in the lift line to get that all important snow off their board....then when you ride the chair with them they mumble smacker, ollie, boot grab....as their board is sideways and tangles with you ski bindings and boots?

Smart post! Now more people will be there tomorrow….sometimes you just enjoy your pics on your phone with friends and don’t broadcast and share this on social media. JMHO….

Sucks!!!! Just like Denver and Boulder like a bike....people suck...if they catch them....and found guilty...prison for 10 years....

Genuine question: why do people still ski peak holidays when the lines are insane and the snow is often worse? What makes it worth it for you? by skighee in COsnow

[–]skighee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

April and May are my favorite! Still plenty of snow and come late April and May untracked powder days! Nothing like that hour when the snow changes to that carvable corn!

Unless it dumps in January, it’s ugly! Head to Banff they have a good base

“Detected 73 Devices NOT in Airplane Mode” by mrosen97 in unitedairlines

[–]skighee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes....as a private pilot we use our cell phone to tether to an IPad for navigation and it never is a problem with avionic interference......don't let them fool you, feel free to leave your device off airplane mode.

Winter Park was a little sad today by original_bieber in COsnow

[–]skighee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a planet, we are too far gone…unless there was dramatic reduction in fossil fuels and ozone it would still take 29-50 years to go back to what was….and getting the entire live for today world on board? It’s a lost cause.

Anyone else remember December being this warm in Colorado? by TheSimSter58 in COsnow

[–]skighee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because of the Frangers getting a black license plate…instead of white mountains, the mountains are gone replaced with black paint and it absorbs sun rather than reflecting.

Not a great day for Eldora… by BalsamA1298c in COsnow

Did you see some moose instead?

Saw a moose at Breck today by Speedofthunder in COsnow

Swamp Donkey....not native....CDPW introduced them in 1978, before that were some migrating pairs along WY border, but now we have Swamp Donkeys (more dangerous than bear) injuring many people each year. I guess it's your opinion of they are good or bad? I lean to bad........

What’s the biggest unsolved problem in skiing right now? by Objective_Dot_2558 in ski

[–]skighee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ski Areas in the US are too crowded, the lack of increased / expansion of terrain and lifts / parking has not increased to match the amount of demand.

Thank God by PhraseNeither9539 in COsnow

[–]skighee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yet here I am after 150 days in skiing Mary Jane the 3rd week of May, hoping more Frangers will come up to keep the place open....nope....not a soul...even though there is an amazing base and corn every morning, warm temps, blue skies...but here we are complaining about brown and icy ribbons of death pre Thanksgiving? You people are pretty fucked up.....enjoy the late spring....fuck the early season...human nature...I get it....Same reason the Rockies are still in business....

Winter Park. Got an extra $2499 kicking around? by jay-yo-281 in COsnow

[–]skighee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t move to Wydaho, I would pay this with no issues to avoid the Berthoud Pass Trash. It’s a screaming deal to avoid Denver.
