Nice! This seems to be gaining momentum.
I'm working at The Basin for the morning half of Saturday and will free up around lunch time for the afternoon. NoVaGator: Fight the Good Fight and heal well. My little cabin is a bit rustic for guests - that and the tiny quarters is a bit crowded with me, my lady and our cats. So, sorry, not enough room for me put people up. I'll sort out the details with those that have contacted me as the scene develops. Cheers! -JC |

Getting close! Looks like A-Basin should get some snow out of this storm and there may be another right before next weekend.

Is there anybody that could possibly take in a Utahn? I'm still trying to nail things down regarding work, so it's tentative. But I hear CO is having an awesome year and I want to get in on that.
Really, the garage is fine so long as it's above 40... |

That would be sweet if you can make it, retgarr.
On another note. What are people planning for lunch for Saturday? Slopes can secure 1 spot on the beach for us. Do we want to hang out there, grill some hot dogs and have a cooler of beer? Or, would people prefer to buy food? |

Nice !!
My day is shaping up for me to be get out of work at 12-1:00. That should allow for some good time in the afternoon. The conditions right now are outstanding. I only have a small charcoal Weber grill. But I will gladly bring it. In fact, my girl is a vegetarian, so someone could probably just take the grill home with them ! I should be able to park my vehicle up close near the pay spots. My vehicle can be moved and someone with more gear can take the spot. This is gonna be fun ! Cheers! -JC |

That being said we went with andrasik and his wife a few weeks ago and it took 3.5 hours. So we should probably shoot for a fairly early departure time like 0530 to be safe.

Nice !!
denverdan - Thanks, I'm glad someone can accommodate the overnighters. My place really wouldn't work. It's tiny, crowded and we have no running water. That and it's the middle of my busy workweek. Thanks. Saturday is expected to be busy- allow plenty of travel time. NOAA is calling for a chance of a trace - but it doesn't take much to bungle up a travel Saturday on I-70. The forecast is calling for partial clearing in the afternoon. Nice ! The skiing is great. We got in some skiing on the Upper east wall yesterday. March 5! Outstanding. I'll be working in the ticket / pass office that day. So stop in and say "Hi". The Arfcommer code phrase for a ticket deal can be: "The chair is against the wall."
I'm still shooting for a lunch or just after release from work. There'll be plenty of time left for some skiing around. I don't think I should be accounted for in any lunch plans you guys may make, but should I bring that little charcoal grill? Looking forward to it - Saturdays are busy, but it will be fun. Cheers! -John C. |

Currently it's hammering out. Conditions will most definitely be good tomorrow.
The last several Saturdays travel has been FUBAR. And we have a busy day with reservations here. I would allow plenty of time for travel and still expect possible traffic problems. The area will be busy tomorrow. I will be in the ticket pass office and it will be busy in there. I will leave appropriate info to hook up ticket deals with my coworkers too in case I'm bogged down. But they'll need to hear the code phrase of course. 
We're expecting to see clearing skies in the afternoon. But right now it's dumping out

Call it guilt, REGARDLESS I suspect "we" and A-B will be around WAY longer than my folks and opportunity to gather w/ one of my sons, plus nephews, nieces, sister, brother won't be... Priorities for a 50+ "senior citizen"! Hope all stay safe and enjoy a blower day! B2 ETA: Just sent another $50 to http://www.colorado2a.org/ to pay penance...

It's next to the trash / recycling barrels w/ a Sig Academy sticker on the back window. Feel free to make that home-base. Safe travels everyone! It's beautiful up here right now. Cheers! -JC |
