Is that Ski Granby?

Yes sir. Already been a good season for them with its earliest opening ever and very good business over the holidays. May not be the biggest but she sure skied well Thanksgiving when I was there. Great place to hide when everywhere else is over run and nice location to day trip out of too. Not only close to Winter Park but pretty easy drives to Steamboat and Summit County (with no pass to cross)

Thanks bud. Planning to go there with wife along with Loveland and Sunlight (Indy 3-some) in early March. I have heard good things - nice to hear you like it.

Park City running total 112 inches

Jay peak 163 inches.

Marketing or not were doing just fine back here

Jay Peak is always king of the east for snow, but yeah, I never believe their snow totals.

When you're the best why do you need to lie? It's like the high school QB being recruited by every NCAA D1 school, who tries to pad his athletic accomplishments.

Well I am really glad to hear that. Just to be clear I actually have had below average snow pack skiing that was good out there

Yeah, I'm getting spoiled.

Even "average" snowfall out here is better than the east because what does at least fall continuously stays in good shape, whereas you can get a phenomenal 20 inch storm in the east that skis like paradise for 3 to 5 days, then get a rain freeze that crushes your soul right back to square one. Chutes & Ladders style.

Did that 3some last year. Started at Granby and it was a good warmup. Fun place. Liked the lookers right part of the hill.
Loveland is incredible.
Sunlight had some great steeps off to skiers right. A little flat getting to them but well worth it. Loved the vibe there. While in glenwood springs the hotsprings are a must do. Also the salt caves (natural underground sauna) where a great relaxation.

No big storm for the weekend, yet Saturday is still a winner with both light snow and lighter wind
