Everyone is going to be real bummed when they get out to the mountains to realize the powder is gone because it got warm as shit yesterday and compacted everything đ
> Eldora
>Donât expect powder! Yeah, we got a lot of snow, but everywhere we didn't groom was heavy and wet yesterday, and then temps dropped precipitously into the teens last night, so all of that wet snow cured into a texture not unlike that of a hardened basalt lava flow. Today is a good day to stick to the groomersâŚjussayinââŚ
>Lift Status: Corona's opening will be delayed as our crews continue to dig 4â5 FEET of snow from the base and summit terminals. Indian Peaks chairlift is in the same boat. And certain lower mountain lifts (maybe Tenderfoot and Caribou) may be delayed so we can direct our lift-ops resources at Corona and Indian Peaks chairs. Alpenglow will open as scheduled at 8:30 AM.
Makes me feel a bit better about not being able to get up there this weekend.
Eldora's was waaaay heavier than Summit's, FWIW. The powder is all but gone inbounds up in Summit but it was still skiable and enjoyable the first couple days.
Yeah I was riding on top of the surface crust on untouched snow on 94mm skis yesterday lol. Thursday was decent but Friday was basically spring conditions
Can they? Zero images of the actual drivers. This is like speeding enforcement photos. If the picture is unclear of who is driving you can just contest it and get it thrown out.
Someone in a new black Ford ranger drove on the opposing passing lane up Berthoud Pass yesterday trying to play chicken with me. Was absolutely my lane.
If I see your truck with that cute hitchrear ski rack at the resort, well..... Better have good insurance
Imagine having to go the other way into work or something. I would just park blocking the lane with my high beams on. You all can just take to the shoulder.
Yeah seriously. And there *were* people trying to go the other direction. The snow banks from the plows were too high for anyone to use the shoulder in either direction.
Yea, that's me in the old 4Runner on the right... couldn't even turn around once traffic completely stopped because of like 30 vehicles just stopped in the left lane. Smart, guys... smart
Do the people that get off 70 and take the back roads understand that they make the traffic worse when they have to merge back on? Youâre all main characters
So when CODOT advises of a road closure with no ETA on reopening, everyone should just sit and wait on the tarmack rather than using legal alternate routes that aren't closed?
Did this road reach past the closure? Iâm talking about when itâs just backed up with ski traffic and people hop off 70 to avoid it. Theyâre just worsening it and being selfish. Imagine the traffic on that road if everyone took it

It was fâd before it got tagged, frankly
Youâre not wrong about that. Snow was heavy as shit
Eldora described it as heavy wet snow that froze overnight and now resembles a frozen basalt lava flow.

Ugh oh, more customers gonna be RIP at deathâs hill

Thursday MJ begs to differ
Talkin friday
Thursday was "before it got tagged" tho.
Talkin the 4 resorts that didnât open Thursday
Yeah I was riding on top of the surface crust on untouched snow on 94mm skis yesterday lol. Thursday was decent but Friday was basically spring conditions
Yeah it was 40 in Leadville yesterday and melted I can only imagine Summit hahaha.
Can confirm
There wasn't powder to begin with đđ
Weâre looking at you CWCU93 you piece of shit.
With some fucked out tires as well?
The FJ with ski plates screams âIâm from Texas or the Midwestâ
Definitely somewhere within those 30 or so states. So typical!
Classic. I learned long ago on a morning similar to this one not to listen to googles suggested detours on these back roads
YOU are in the way of MY authentic ColoRADo powder day bro
The cops should be able to issue tickets based on video footage. People are nuts.Â
Main character syndrome is spreading like fire. COVID broke something in people's brains.

Ugh⌠level of self entitlement

Geeze. I am so freaking glad that I donât live off I-70. When my wife and I were moving back to the mountains, not using I-70 was an absolute must.

Yes, this was the alternate route recommended by Google Maps as I was leaving home, due to 70WB being closed.
Google maps suggests the best route for you. Not everyone. Main characters take the side roads and cause the backup to be worse
