Beaver Creek.

Left Denver at 11am. Got to beaver at 4pm. Dear god that drive sucked. Insane traffic because of the road conditions. Got stuck next to copper for like 45 mins. That was fun to watch. The resort looks really cool.

Great first day on the mountain. Did arrowhead and bachelors gulch side. The gondola ? is one stop for my hotel so was super easy going up that way.

snow was falling most of the day. Was getting fairly deep in some places. Actually sank the wildcat 108’s a few times.

busting out the ghost trains tomorrow. Suppose to have some insane powder overnight.

going to Zack’s cabin one night for dinner evidently they take us up on these cats

It’s a ghost train kind of day. Running through the trees atm. Going to hit up McCoy park and find some more fresh.

trying to get the gf more comfortable on these longer runs as well.

Hell yeah! What do you think of the place so far?

Man honestly absolutely love it. Granted snow is amazing and crowds have been super low.

I’ve really only explored arrowhead and gulch side so far. I’m trying to slowly work my way across the mountains. I try to hit every run I can just to experience the place.

had a great late afternoon drink with the gf before she had the hardest and longest run of her life. That was interesting

Should I plan a break day on sat?

Only good before 10:30 on Saturdays. I’ll probably do a few morning laps

Minturn Thai is worth a trip going to as well
 
Today was a break day. Heard it was crowded anyways. Sun was out and things crusted over.

made some artichokes on the grill and watched the playoff games. Finishing up game two now while waiting for some pizza.

zoom room just opened their medium jump line + a few decent rails

Finally got to the park on the beaver side. Features were decent. Few boxes and rails. Jumps were not too shabby
 
Man just wasn’t feeling it today. Was sunny in the morning and projected to be warm so I underdressed. Was fucking freezing. Had a dark visor too and couldn’t see shit by 11am. Clouds came out thick.

Still banged out a decent amount of runs but overall took it pretty chill. Finally tried one of the cookies. Wasn’t impressed

head over to grouse mountain around noon on a blue bird day

its quiet, no one will see you duck the rope lookers left towards the birds of prey lift / course.

these magical meadows will provide epic pow turns, but remember you only get one run, so you have to get it right...

I was with Sigrun, we stopped in the meadow, took off our jackets in the warm sun and used them for sitting, we thoroughly enjoyed lunch and sex in nature.

birds chirped.

Living The Good Life.

P.s. are those appetizers or main course meals>?
 
yeah the new cookies are ass i don’t think they even fresh bake them anymore.

anyone know if they still do the cookie recipe contest every fall?

Appreciate the tip. Think I’m busting the ghost trains out again tomorrow. Probably not ideal conditions but it’s my last day so I want to enjoy them some more.

those were the mains. Short rib and elk loin.

No joke literally the first thing I said was “these taste like they’re straight out of a box”

when i was a grom they would hold competitions before each season where locals would come to the village and hand out cookies they baked. you could pull up, sample a ton of fresh warm cookies, and then vote on whose recipe would be used for the winter.

was super unique and fun so i'm guessing corporate shut that shit down asap.

Sounds like a great time honestly. I love a good cookie

Bring snow please. Although mother nature is starting to do its thing finally

Looks like toward first couple days of Feb Tahoe is getting bombed on.

considering bringing the ghost trains for those days. 5-6” everyday.

was going to do chipotle blades and meridians.
 
Had a really great final day. Was able to find some hidden untouched powder. Found a few places decently deep too.

headed home Tomorrow but can’t wait to come back. I personally really enjoyed beaver. Never got bored. I can understand if you live here you’d want to head other places but as a first time I never found myself wanting to go to vail. I could easily come back here more and not be bored. I feel like I have so much more to explore.

Not sure if you've done tahoe but the west shore is a beautiful drive past emerald bay. If you can do it mid week when its not busy its better but very nice.

Heavenly isn't my favorite but it has some of the best views of the lake and stateline/south lake is east to get around and plenty of shit to do so I get it. If you have a chance to make it to kirkwood your not stupid far from south lake and its on the epic. Kirkwood is a true gem.if you can get a day in there I'd highly recommend it.

Sounds like a fun ski trip hitting all the spots though. Enjoy!
