    The Beav Crew (me) will be representin' at least Saturday.

    Friday is up in the air at the moment... A Friday in Aspen w/ no crowds would sure be nice though... I've got an SG 185 in my hands that is just dying to destroy some Aspen groom.

    Winter Storm Advisory starting 03/26 noon until 03/27 noon. Up to 10 possible so says weather.com. Saturday may be pow day. Sunday should be good carving. You Summit guys are gonna have a s****y drive over tomorrow night....






    I'm not sharing a cot w/ Stanley.
    I carve therefor I am

    Yup, you go to Gene Taylors in Snowmass. Take your indings off, and they will do an awesome job on it.

    What snow? We could definitely use some more! Hopefully the 7" last night will get us trough the holiday week and we'll get a nice dump to recover afterwards...its been a lean start that's for sure.

    See you in Jan. Ray!

    I'm going to say Snowmass is probably your best bet. Jim and I were going to go up this morning and decided not to. Coverage is slim, but I think that's the best option. Aspen would be choice two. Jim and I should be up for riding in the morning on Saturday too, so give us a call!

    What is P going to do for the day? If she's going into Aspen than that plan makes sense; otherwise we could look at carpooling from Basalt in the morning, if she was planning to stay downvalley while you ride. If I guess right though, I suspect she'll be doing some shopping in Aspen

    Don't know for sure, she might head back to Glenwood for the vapor caves, or possibly shop. As with every thing, it may be a game time decision

    Milk and No Cookies

    These Temps and Lack of Snow conditions are very similar to the 76 -77 Season where it was mid January before conditions were viable enough to not ruin your equipment on the exposed Rocks... heads up to anyone planning on spending the funds to come to Aspen/Snowmass until there is a turn in the current weather patterns...

    Jim and I will second that. Went to snowmass yesterday and any semblance of decent conditions that were left were obliterated by the high winds on New Year's Eve (reported 85 mph gusts at Ajax!). It is scrubbed down to the boiler plate with exposed rocks and debris from the wind all over the trail. It took Jim and I about 35 minutes to do one run from the top of Snowmass back down because we were going so slow (and side slipping, not a turn to be had), and Jim dinged up the edge of his board, so it is at the tune shop for repairs.

    I might pull out the road bike again until it dumps some more snow!

    Ugh... hope it dumps by SES (but not during SES). I want to ride something other than my VSR 170 a.k.a. "involuntary rock board". (yeah, our season has pretty much gone the same way)
