Hola all!! Belated Trip report (so tony won´t get on my case):
12/17-1/1, in general EXTREMELY COLD every day, -16 in Avon, -29 in CB, -5 in Telluride,etc. But sunny 90% O
12/18- Loveland, very nice, good snow cover, not a soul. Will return but only for 1-2 days.
12/19-21- Beaver Creek and Vail, nearly perfect since i don´t do the back bowls, but front side 100% open, beaver 90% open. Finally realized IMHO tha Vail is numero 1 simply because EVERYTHING works, no complaints possible. The hype about shi-shi this n that does not mar the quality of the mountain. Will return in a heartbeat!
22-26- Tride, not impressed but maybe lack of snow (50% open) caused this. But the open blues and blacks where rather boring. BEST town so far! May return???
27-30- Crested Butte, FANTASTIC!!!! reminds me of Snowbasin, everything perfect. Friendliest lifties AND townies ever. Many commented on vacationing in the DR, my hometown for the last 20+ years. Small town but groovy! Gonna go back, especially when they open newly approved terrain.
31- Snowmass, returned after 11 years, sadly dissapointed with pitch, just not enough in general. Don't think will return.
All the best.
