It will be awesome but it’s a shame more of the mountain will not be open.  Aspen Highlands isn’t even open until 12/14 despite plenty of snow.  I suspect the demand just doesn’t justify opening.  

Yeah, wife asked me today why I'm not skiing.  The answer is that not enough of the mountain is open. And that's a staffing issue for probably all resorts.

Got both my boards waxed for $30 in Idaho Springs the other day.

Idaho Springs is not a resort town. You would have to make a special stop there, in the early season, to get a deal like that. I haven't paid less than 40 in WP in 10 years.

Check in Aspen to see what it runs while you're there.

Trying to think what I paid in CB last year. It was reasonable, I think.

This is ridiculous! We had the patio shoveled clean before bed last night.

$10 - I just needed a wax, not a tune up.

Gotcha. I thought you were talking tune prices.

Enjoy the snow. I got probably 2 feet at my place.

Snowmass snow stake.  I’ll be there after the new year.  Hope it continues.

Only 2 lifts open on Ajax today, but we had a pretty good time. I ate shit in the first powder run and couldn’t catch my breath til lunch. jfc. Low clouds made the groomed runs tough because visibility was 10 yards at best. When there was light, it was excellent. Pretty proud that I got to hit 2 of the more epic storms in CO in recent history (Vail 2014 being the other).

I’m trying to hit Snowmass tomorrow but no one wants to go with me. 😡

Bummer.  Unless they open more terrain, Snowmass may have fewer open runs than Aspen Mountain.  You may want to double check before you go.

Always checking. Snowmass is my home mountain from like 3rd grade, so if I can knock out a couple hours before turkey and football tomorrow, that’s a win.
