I'm in for Sun.

I think it's time for another ski sacrifice...we need more snow. Gary, you can throw in that rock board. I'll give up some old K2 skis and if Ullr is not happy with that, he can bite me. :twisted:

The Edge Doctor in Denver is about as good as it gets. I am not making it to the Warren Miller flick this Wed. You should try to make the Tangerine Dream showing at Splat's this Friday...

Probably just going out this Sunday. Vince you in? Looks like a good shot of snow for the weekend. That shoulder on Berthoud pass we worked last weekend should be good (and safe).

We could ski Berthoud and then pop up to Boulder afterward for the class?

I think we are going to have relative newbie bc rider out with us on Sunday. No big deal for where we are going, but this should be a perfect time for us to do a beacon search. That big flat ending area we went by on our last run would be perfect for such an exercise. It's time to do it.

We got nuked! Most areas are reporting over 30" in the last 72 hours. Most of it falling down starting yesterday. Avy danger is high right now, but should be subsiding by the weekend. I will get one day to ride by hook or by crook....
