Like TonyC said, It's narrow in spots with steep drop offs. It's usually pretty windy up there too, not to mention very exposed. It's the highest peak in the San Gabriel's at over 10,000 ft. Many that hike it are coming from close to sea level. As mentioned, winter is a different game...

Does that even qualify as beer? :unsure: 😬 In winter, I like a dark beer... scotch ales are my go to, although I enjoy a good porter or malty amber, also. I tend to go lighter in summer, however I stay away from IPA's. I really don't know how so many people like them.

Ok, that's slightly better... but still, that sucks (especially for a boarder... good way to hurt someone).

wait a minute, the bubble locks you in there automatically?

For those in cheap seats in the back... Bar down yesterday at Brundage! (that's my wife next to me).

Nope. Sure, there may be some rebellious kids out there doing if for that reason, but many of us that live out west and ski/ride year after year can tell you it's primarily just something most of us don't think about (putting the bar down). There's rarely a discussion about safety bars on the...

Generally speaking, yes. It's one thing to have an occassional rain event during an AR or something, especially around the base... however we had rain all the way to the summit during many of the December storms.

We finally have some fairly decent snow up here in ID, even though this past few days' storm was largely a bust. 2-4 ft has fallen in the last couple weeks, which has improved everything dramatically. Brundage is now 100% open as of this afternoon. All the groomers are good, and the trees are...

Other than the torchlight parade I participated in the other night at Brundage, I'm still waiting for the chance to get up on the mtn. I have midweek pass' at both Brundage and Tamarack that is invalid until Tuesday 1/6. While conditions here aren't good, it's been tough waiting this long for...

"Monarch ski area is offering free lift tickets to anyone with a ticket or season pass at Telluride". (up to 3 day lift tickets) That's pretty awesome, especially for those that alread booked Xmas vacations.

Saw this near Bend a few months ago... I thought it was insane until I looked up the specs on that cybertruck. The weight, thanks in part to all the battery (~30%), can pull that with no problem... However, you'd have to fully recharge about every 150 miles or so. So.. it's still crazy...

So sad. There was a death on Thursday off Chair 8 when someone (experienced) crashed just off the run in deep snow (head first). Mammoth is so scary after these big snow events. I had an incident many years ago where I fell in fresh, chest deep thickish snow. Even though I was only about 20 ft...

It's quite depressing watching it rain up to 8,000' here in W-central Idaho. Thankfully, (to this point at least)... rainfall amounts have been less than predicted with this rain event. If I didn't have family obligations most of this month, I'd probably be much more impatient. (Although, seeing...

I have the basic plan, and like some others, got it on a promotion. I would never renew at the price point its at now, however as a benefit for my other weather forecasting gig for McCall, I get it for free (not through Opensnow). fwiw... it's nice to see someone at Opensnow finally admit that...

Texans I've experienced when living in CO are Nice enough people (I still have several Pagosa friends) they just clutter up the ski areas (and generally don't know how to ski) and drive like idiots. Of course, idiot drivers are everywhere. I think Crested Butte is another popular one for Texans.

The Pitcher's are well know in Pagosa, and from my experience, not well liked as owners of Wolf. Wolf Creek Supersaver Season Pass (which inlcudes 44 blackout days)! $815 EARLY PRICE Unrestricted Pass: $1102 Early Bird Price In comparison, for early season price, I paid $399 @ Tamarack...

Skip Wolf Creek. They're greedy bastards, and the "resort" sucks. Their prices have skyrocketed in the last few years, and some people I know can't even get a season pass anymore... or if they do, it's blacked out half the season. (p.s. I lived there for 3 yrs). The only good thing going for...

I had one of those as well, but the emblem on mine was red and blue, I think.I don't remember when I bought mine, but I wanna say 2004-2008 ish.

Bogus Basin apparently tested it out this summer, and it looks like it worked. I could easily see this becoming common place in the future. https://bogusbasin.org/about-bogus/culture/experimenting-with-snow-storage-snow-secure-at-bogus-basin/

Went to Sundance only once to ride about 15 yrs ago mid-winter (weird.... fluffy powder snow on top, rain/sloppy on bottom half), but the scenery was spectacular, particularly at that little cabin on the summit. One thing I particulary remember was a portapotty in the parking lot has a space...
