Colorado 2017/18 Loveland Stoke and Trip Reports

[palikona]

Loveland is cold, flat and boring. People should keep driving west to the gnar.

^It’s all not so great.
Nothing to see here folks, move along...

I’m here because I don’t like Loveland.

I like your forecast. The NWS is saying 1-3" for Copper but they have not given any accumulation numbers for Friday into Friday night yet.

Drove by Loveland today around midday. The Lot was full. Was there a special event there or something???

That’s disconcerting.
We need new terrain.

Industry demo day.

Industry demo day.

And it was super fun!

The mystery continues.

People just park at Loveland and don’t ski. I think it has something to do with Subaru and The Rapture.

So who is going to the demo day tomorrow?

but don't look for that helmet

My personal trainer identified some stretches exercises that seem to help with my knee pain, so I'm hopeful that it will be a more comfortable ski day for me! (NB: my physical therapist and the trainer at the PT office didn't come anywhere close to these ideas. It really helps to cast a wide net! My trainer is also not *just* a certified trainer - he has trained in MAT and a number of other disciplines.)

I think soft snow would help, too, but with two runs (or whatever they're calling it) open, I'm not sure that will last 20 minutes past open. Any guesses on whether they'll open more runs, and if so, which?

Look for this helmet:

Well the snow stake at Luv looks a whole lot better than what has happened so far at Copper. Maybe they will get another run open.

I think LL might groom all the new snow given that they need to harvest every inch to keep a solid base and fill in thin spots. They might leave a swath of pow but I doubt it. LL should be fun and Im going mainly for the demos but A Basin is gonna be choice due to top to bottom skiing and more run choices some of which they will most likely not groom. Crowd will be out en force no question though.
