Boarding turns flats into 37* pitches and makes it snow rather than rain? Holy crap! I guess I really am missing out.

Does it turn 700 vertical into 4,000+ vertical too?

Nope, but it sure seems to turn little hills into bigger playgrounds! Although nothing helps crappy weather.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Steamboat over the mighty Midwest, but something sure beats nothing!

it's dumping here. this morning i went to work it wasn't snowing. just shoveled a foot of quality pow off the 40 stairs to my house from the road. don't worry, i didn't shovel the driveway. also got my seasons pass set up last night. Whistler mountain opens Friday. If this snow and temps stick around we will be riding to the valley on opening day. well, i won't get to ride until sunday. just saying.

Is anyone here near Winter Park or Copper Mountain? I'm likely leaving Arkansas on Christmas day to drive up to a timeshare outside Winter Park and shred for the majority of the week. I've got room left in the jeep if anyone in AR, OK, KS, or MO want to tag along. Or if you're in CO hit me up and hit the slopes with me.
