Phil and I are trying to convince Bklyn and Dookey into a road trip.  We have the room in the Yukon, for sure and Bklyn in SLC is an easy stop to pick her up!

Well since I just bought the A Basin pass, looks like i might be able to do this one... It's on the list of possibilities if Old Boot doesn't drag me elsewhere.  I'll start searching flights and let you all know.

On the off chance , people stay at??

 

post #43 of 263

Very good chance I can make it for a day or so. I have to come back out to the boat for my 2 month checkup anyway.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.  I think I am allowed in hot tubs around that time biggrin.gif

like-wise, although I am still neutered from Jackson. (inside joke) I am looking for a red jacket and pants.  Seriously, it will be great to see everyone.

Way to rain on the parade, dude. ;) They will have a parking lot that we can fill with awesome people and beer and grilling regardless, so we are ALL SET. And we can bring (or rent) mountain bikes! Or hike! YAY MOUNTAINS!!!

Wolf Creek has twice as much snow.....but they usually get bored and close (early April) with a lot of snow on the mountain

So.......you don't care if you can ski?

 

I'd move it up so actual skiing could happen....that's just me.

 

post #52 of 263

I'd rather everyone be able to come, and people had already planned days off for that particular weekend. And we'll be able to ski, there just won't be much open.

Most places here close with a lot of snow on the mountain, usually the highest base of the season. Last year was a travesty, all those places closing in April, and it snowed 5 more feet (or something) in May.

Yeah ... I still have faith that we will get some spring storms, but there might not be much base after this weekend, holy hot weather. But you are right ... fun people, mountains, and a little creativity can go a long way. Hell, go down and see The Fray at Red Rocks that weekend ... that would be awesome.

A Basin temps are still quite chilly compared the other resorts with it's higher altitude.  It is going to be in the 40's day time and low teens many nights in the next 10 days where Vail is 50's day time and just falling to freezing (29 to 32 F) at night) and Denver itself will be very warm.  I'm hoping it lasts due to it's altitude.  The trend looks cooler as this week goes on too, so I'm hoping.  I wanna be skiing on mother's day this year.

Did Tony hack your account? rolleyes.gif

 

We have done A-Basin on Mothers Day every year for the past 6 years, if you started to show up, you qualify for a vote on where to hold the event. icon14.gif

"Tony"?

 

Wasn't suggesting a venue change, merely pointing out that in this rather poor snow year, A-Basin is not in the best shape to hold up for 7 more weeks.

If I was coming out to CO to ski this Spring it would be NOW not in May. If you folks want to hang out in a parking lot instead of ski, have fun! beercheer.gif

 

post #59 of 263

lets keep in mind that the current jet stream can return to "normal" at any given time and could end up with a very snowy April and May.  Too far away to pull the plug on the season.  Seriously. If we could accurately predict the weather, we could rule the world.   In the mean time, I call dibs on the best seat on the beach.....icon14.gif

Abasin has always treated us well.  I'm suspecting that something magical is going to happen in the next 7 weeks.
