Let It Snow!!!! Winter Sports Thread
-
Bought my son a backpack so I didn’t have to carry his skis. Selfish purchase, but he was thrilled
-
I was inspired to look to and see if there was a skiing thread as I just ordered some new skis, haha. Here's a pic from last year in Breck on a 12" powder day.

Man, it's been decades since I went skiing…I miss it for sure
-
@Joberwocky It's like riding a bike…you never forget.
-
@Soleamp haha, I sure hope so. Growing up in Florida, I was fortunate enough that my family palled around with a group of other familial friends that used to go skiing out in Breckenridge every year. One of my favorite memories as a teen. It's been a while, I think I could convince the wife to take it up

I love Breck. It gets some shit from the locals because like Vail it draws in a lot of out-of-staters, but it's a decent ski area, great town, not too far, close to Keystone (which has more acreage but a less happening town), and I have free places to crash so I can come in ahead of the damn traffic on I70.
I didn't get a pass this year with the baby so I won't get too many days, but we are having our families come out there for the holiday season and I can't wait to ski with my nieces, nephews, sister, and in-laws.
Here's Breck local Bobby Brown demonstrating the mountain from peak 10 to the base:

We need to get Bobby do this run in a UHF and 25 oz

@Aetas Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a bit, we need to get this thread going with the snow starting to fly! BTW, that is a great collection of passes, you should make that into a wall display or something.
Picked these up a few months ago but I have been procrastinating on mounting them (I do my own mounting, so it's just laziness). Went with the 94s as a good compromise for the East/West combo skiing I do. Hoping to get in at least 30 days this year.

Thanks, you are absolutely right!
Hope to see your updates @Soleamp
Has anyone else ridden some snow this season?

Here are some pictures from my last couple Snowbike trips.
New Years
Stayed in this cabin for 2 nights in -10°F
We stopped to have Tea with our friends Who built this castle on their own in the mountains in 1995.
This was more recently on Mt. Hood

These snowbike trips sound like an amazing discovery experience for a road-bound biker of my ilk. Excellent stuff @Brock ! Please post pics from every single one of your snowbike outings.
Maybe it’ll generate enough interest to dream about putting together a future snowbike IH trip. -
absolutly amazing , looks like a lot of fun.
last time I saw so much snow was in winter 1978/79 -
