Local: Still snowing
0While various resorts may be closing down, and the season may appear to be coming to an end, the weather gods have seen fit to extend it here for a bit. We’re still getting new snow up in the rockies, and places like Loveland, and A-Basin here locally generally stay open later allowing us locals to get an even longer season in. I’m not sure exactly when A-basin is going to be closing, but I do believe they’ll stay open until the first few weeks of June at this rate, which is good because I have more boards to get reviews on. For those of you who are finished for the season, what were some of your highlights, whether it be gear, vacations, etc?
Winter Park
0I spent yesterday out at Winter Park with a mixed group of friends. We had several skiiers and several boarders between us. Conditions were pretty interesting. As we drove, up we went from bluebird skies to dense cloudy, windy and snowy conditions. in fact when we got to Mary Jane they informed us that the super gauge lift to the bowl was closed due to winds reaching 75mph up there. I’m not sure how fast the winds were but the gusts we experienced on the lifts that were open were insane at times.
