KEYSTONE WAS THE FIRST RESORT TO OPEN YESTERDAY AT 3PM!
Bachelor looks like they could start turning lifts any minute, but they're not scheduled to open for another month.
>>2846711You could always skin up I guess? I know people are already skinning up at Whistler right now.
>>2846735>2026>it's 2025
>>2846737IDK when you draw the line between 24/25 and 25/26 seasons
>>2846741Between December and January
>>2846741When I haven't toured in months (last day of 2025 season for me was April 25th).
>>2846741I got some August/September turns in NZ, and I'm not sure whether to count it as part of 24/25 or 25/26?
>>2846735Definitely wouldn't be the only one, judging by all the tracks I saw on the cams yesterday and the news this morning that some boarder already had to get rescued. Sadly I don't have gear ATM though, just moved back to ski country after a decade away and I'm still financially recovering from buying a house etc. so a full set of full price ski gear AND the $1,500 pass to make it worthwhile isn't really in the cards this year. Might go up and rent once or twice though. What I AM thinking of getting into this year is XC/Nordic since the gear isn't too awful, I need the workout, and there are lots of places to do it free or cheap including basically my own backyard when we get good storms. (Pic rel is in front of my house and that was only a one day late season dump.)
>>2846708Time to learn skiing again.
What are the rules for old season vs new season. I hiked up a mountain last week and need to know if can claim 100 days for 2024-2025 or if im cucked at 99
Bought my first ski suit, need skis, I've never done this shit before Recently moved to the desert but there is a ski spot nearby called PowderhornTips???t. Grand Junction, Colorado
>>2846957Go to a ski swap and buy used
r8 my local ski spot
>>2846957Buy a couple lessons. Seriously. I know they're pricey, but it's really the only way to get off the ground in this sport.>>2846965Powderhorn isn't anything special IMO, but it's a nice local's spot. Guessing that the big boy's mountains closest to you are Crested Butte and Telluride once you really get into it, and they're both gnarly as hell
>>2847023fuckin pumped broI am kind of athletic and thought I might just start with backcountry skiing on grand mesa, I hate spending money for shit lol maybe ride my bicycle up there with some skis on my back or something I am skeptical that I will actually need lessons, I nailed water skiiing first try and I remember the south park skiing episode about french fries and pizza im 120 miles from aspen and yeah telluride and crested butte close too
