Up to 3-4 feet of snow could accumulate in the San Juans.
And, this wasnt far fetched.
The previous Monday was skiing 30 deep.
Powderchasers.com, the ultimate tease for thosediagnosed with PADD, flagged Wolf Creek to be absolutely blower on Monday.
Sunday: 12 in the last 24 hours.
Holy shit, yes!
The West Side of Wolf Creek Pass was closing Monday morning for avalanche control.
Pulling into the Wolf Creek parking lot, we got stopped by an enormous front-loader doing snow removal.
You boys stayin the night?YessirAlright then, follow me.
It was also warm.
29˚F at 3AM warm.
But maybe something is just wrong with the temperature gauge on my car.
Its fucking late, or early, lets just go to bed.
Itll be better in the morning.
For shit snow and a sprained MCL?
Shit snow was exactly what it was.
And it wasfucking awesome.
Yeah, the snow sucked.
We could have been inschool; But there we were, skiing with our friends.
It’s easy to get jaded.
Everyone knows a few jaded skiers - hell I am one.
Every road trip is worth it, even if the forecast didn’t match the conditions.
So quit complaining, load up your car, and go skiing already.
