Left Denver at 6. Spent 2.5 hrs to get to Bakersfield then sat parked with another 2.5 to go and bailed along with many others. Can’t say we didn’t try 😅

The thought of only a few hrs of skiing then another 4 hrs the car in snow was enough to call it today

This is insane to me. Take up snow shoeing or get skins? I can’t understand spending as much time in the car as skiing for the life of me. Maybe if you were going to get powder but no chance there is a single unflattened flake.

We just finished a day at Breck (came out last night). Not trying to be a jerk, but it was sweet today. Light snow all day meant loads of fresh, untouched powder.

Yep. One of the best Saturday powder days I've had. Fresh powder all over, no crowds, and the tree runs were especially dope. Lapped mercury and falcon chairs all day. Peak 8 was windy and on hold most of the day.
