Colorado Sled Access Stoke/Conditions Thread 2011-2012

No pictures, too busy skiing foot-deep powder on a moderate pitch slope under blue skies both days last weekend.

Vail Pass transformed in the past two weeks - a week ago Monday, Wilder Gulch opened, and by Saturday, all of the cat-roads were in & the skiing was spectacular. We stayed on low angle stuff, stayed off Ptarm/Cupcakes, heard that MGR was faceted and icky in the trees, so stuck with Boss Basin & the B.

Actually, one picture - skiing cohort took a phone call ("the internet is broken, wahhhhhh...." ok, fine, he runs an e-commerce website, I GUESS we'll let it slide), took a crap cellphone pic looking down what he was making us wait to ski. 500ish vertical, nothing gnar, just Colorado postcard-skiing.

Pretty awesome weekend, all told. Back again this wknd.

Here are a few more from the Central Co region...























And as a reminder still not stable..

Love what you're doing here. I'd love to tag along some time

I don't have a lot to ad, I always seem to miss the snow or get it while it's dumping and get no footage

Mike I've seen you out a couple times judging by your sled. Did you buy that sled from a guy in CB? I don't remember his name, Jason maybe? I gave him a set of plugs one time up Slate like 3 years ago if its who I'm thinking of. Ended up being an air bubble in the fuel line or something after he rolled it.

I've been going up Slate quite a bit lately. Riding parts of Schuylkill and terrain in Baxter Basin. Gets the adrenaline going riding that area. Its big, but sleds can get around really well right now and there is still some decent snow if you look for it. And its been stable, just don't hang out late in the day. I'd post pics if I had a new computer, its great seeing all the other photos.

I think I saw you out the day you stacked that jump up Washington Gulch. I was with that larger group that uh...went over the boundary (not a common practice!)...and sled lapped those small cliffs/short chutes off Baldy. It was February 8th if I remember right.

Good to see another CB rider/skier on Snowest.
Cheers!
