Come West, young men. And you old dudes, too.

Benny Profane
Sorry about that awful season, but, if you have any vacation time left, or, just want to say, f*** it, Summit County in Colorado should be a quick cheap trip for ya, pretty much right now into mid April. Prices start to drop a lot, because most tourons are gone after Spring Break (or, camo and Texas plates time). The weather pattern has changed for the better after a six week dry spell. We've had 7 or 8 good powder days in the past 12 days, and it's going to snow until Sunday. Loveland is on Liftopia for about 45 bucks, and ABasin is about 50 bucks with their three pack. Maybe some Spring deals are kicking in, check the websites. It's good here right now. This place can shine in the Spring. Bring your sunscreen, and, please, be patient with the edibles. It takes an hour or two for them to kick in.

Oh, and, friends do not let friends ski Breck, Keystone, or Vail. Just sayin'.

Have the week of April 25 off, what do you think the chances are of any decent goods left at that time?

Know your tolerance too... If you're not too familiar with the lay of the land, then your dosage should be below 80mg active thc.  Too much of a good thing can make you feel a bit queezy for a few hours

I could tell you a few funny but pathetic stories when I was a novice.

Yup. Just walk into a store. Still feels a little, er, clandestine.

Oregon and Washington, too. Soon coming to a strip mall near you.

Z... You're a Jackwagon...

Not only is it legal, but it's medicine too.  My doctor says I should smoke pot... She says it's good for me

Looks big for MC's PSIA trip to CO for sure.

Started warm, here in UT. Rained up to the mid station for a while. I had to double check that I wasn't at Snowbird
Should be really good by the weekend. Lots of uncertainty to the storm, though. Looks like the numbers are starting to drop for us.

Woke up to about 15". Calling for 7-10" more today, then another 3-5" tonight.  Tapering off to snow showers on Monday. Skiing Breck today and tomorrow (agree that this mountain is kinda "tame").

You coming over, TBatt? Was going to take a day off on Monday, but Loveland Pass laps sound fun. Then the tryout starts Tuesday, and Ace might be looking for someone to ski with. We might have some ticket hookups.

Was wondering if all that pow was going to tire you out MC.

GOOD LUCK, please let us know how it goes.  Tryout is multiple days?

MC is up for the PSIA development team.

My understanding:

PSIA Level 1: awesome
PSIA Level 2: awesomer
PSIA Level 3: most awesomest
PSIA Dev Team: off the charts

Maybe MC can say more.  There were tons of applicants, few were chosen to tryout.

Dev team is wicked

During my stay at Smuggs one of the guys there was on the Dev Team

Much respect for all the hard work and dedication
