Telluride has been pretty rough this week - but it would be way worse without the 7" last weekend. Mornings are icy and afternoons slushy. Most of the mountain is still skiable for now though. It's gonna be a lot worse for the Dallas and other spring breaks next week.

Day 1 of lake louise today. Snow is overall great, but a few of the groomers are a bit icy. We're getting 6" tonight so that should fix it up. My 2 older boys killed it on the blues, the younger daughter is getting more comfortable with some of the steeper greens. Obviously the blues here are much steeper than those at our home Wisconsin hill

Circling back - we got a nice little surprise half foot of pow last night. Temps down too. There are some spots that are very skiied off and what not but low temps should hold through the weekend to where you at least have some base even if it's super warm and mashed potatoes by end of day

Thanks for the update! Getting excited to at least be away from work for a week lol. I'm hoping maybe there is more "surprise" in store Saturday night to help things last even better through the end of our trip next Friday.

OpenSnow showing some chances over the weekend. That's about what it looked like yesterday before we got our little dump overnight. I will say - today was one of the most fun days skiing I've ever had. Crowds are non existent and what we got overnight was just enough for a beautiful spring powder day.

anyone have any experience with high winds in Hoosier Pass? Trying to get up to Breck. They are calling for gust above 70 mph today. Think I might wait a day.

Last day at Snowbasin. They have 8 lifts open but closed off a few trails overnight on one lift. My 6 yr old is getting off the kids slope and going to do some steeper greens and maybe hit a blue offshoot then back to green. My 8 yr old is going to back to the top of the mountain and take some blues down. She's a little nervous but she has the skill. Super proud of both of them for doing something their parents can't and enjoying it. I'm working to improve my knee/leg and will see about trying my luck next year.

Dumped at Sunshine Village overnight and this morning. Unfortunately got stuck on the access road for two hours after a bus went off the road. Sun is out now so should be a fantastic afternoon.

Chris Tomer posted huge high in Co, UT, NM that persists through 4/1. Spring skiing is here, praying for some big April storms to come back!

Coverage looks better than it did there a month ago

Blowing like crazy down here in the springs today so I'm sure it's pretty wild up there.

To be fair, last year I went in April and got hit with 18" my first day at WC and a few more after that. It can happen. Just seems like it's not likely this year.

I think the problem is staying open if there's no snow and hoping some will come. I guess they could open a skeleton crew if some hills get dumped on in April.

Sorry for the late reply just got off the hill. They called for some insane gusts for Breck proper in the forecast and it was windy but nothing crazy. Roads are bone dry too, take it easy and you'll be fine

Thinking about an end of March weekend trip and hoping to see good snow reports before I decide where to go.

They got 14" that first week of March and that probably saved it. They lost 4" of base this week and the bottom of little cat is all slush

thanks…wind might have been 5 mph at Hoosier pass when we drove through. This is why I don't ever listen to weather man warnings.

ETA:hahah, I think I just saw you get off the elevator at Main Street station?

Welcome to How Snowmass runs all of the time. Christmas/NY week included.

Must have been my doppleganger, we are over on peak 8. Glad yall made it in. Hope yall get some good skiing in, this last little dump was nice but it has been slushy in the afternoon. Looks like chances of snow back end of the weekend too, hoping it sneaks up on you like the Wednesday storm did

Here's some shots from our surprise powder day in Breck yesterday. Beautiful spring skiing! I was on some Blizzard Rustler 9's (new 2025 models with a little added metal underfoot from the previous iteration). They handled everything from the early morning chalk to the afternoon mashed potatoes as well as the powder from last Friday's dump and the Wednesday surprise. Best at nothing but pretty damn good at everything.

Horseshoe bowl and everything off T Bar was in great shape relatively speaking. Independence bowl was nice with the fresh pow but sneaky rocky in spots. Didn't ski C chair. Peak 7 was pristine for the most part for laps while waiting for 6/T Bar/Independence to open. 6 was divine on the powder day but wouldn't mess with Intuition bowl on the back side. Nothing but rocks the first 60 yards in.

On a more serious note, there was a fatality off the Peak 8 lake chutes yesterday. Stay safe out there folks.

I believe there are set dates from the forest service in which they can operate as well I believe. Could be wrong though.

Big trout has some good beer. I like the hazy. If you haven't gone to Idlewild distillery, do it

Food is really good too and their cocktails are awesome.

Cool little joint in a basement right off 40.
