Man I'm jealous...
We had one of the worst seasons on record here...
Bitter cold; had 4 days skiing where the temp was under -20F.
No snow... Northern NM and southern CO just didn't get snowed on...

Haha maybe I'll roll up to abasin to get some of that summer pow....

still snowing at night up here, i cant believe it!
most of the crew is over snowboarding by now, hoping for summer activities, biking, rafting, etc.
but for just a few of us its time to get out and camp in the backcountry with generators, lights and PA systems.

Old lodge with snow to the ground

Most recent snowfall. over a foot. temp rose at the end of the storm and created a hazard. Test mitt pit

Great place for a tavern!

The skis that get me there. Patterned base is great for getting around without lifts!

Another foot new at Squaw today. The mountain looks like full on mid winter. Tomorrow is the last day the lifts are running but it looks like there will be a 4th of July weekend reopening.

Wow! That is amazing, we are at 266% of normal snow pack. Aspen reopened for this weekend. Abasin should stay open until the 4th. Sounds like crazy snow totals for western US.

Wow, that's unreal. I'd love to ski on the 4th of july! I saw a brief news clip on tv yesterday. My wife said,"looks like you were born in the wrong part of the country", or something to the effect, I was too busy being jealous to hear the exact words? I opened the pool, planted a garden today and sweated my a$$ off today.

We got another 50cm's, over the last couple days, on the hill.
Over 40cm's at my job site.
Too busy working to enjoy it.
Looks like mountain bike season is never gonna get here.
Only 1 or 2 trails without snow!

Another few inches new last night which made for some nice windbuffed pow. Maybe some more in the next 5 days.

Some boring POV but not much activity on the forum these days so here it is.
