I see a snowcat climbing the Waterdog Ridge headed out for soft turns in the sun.  Our Cat Skiing operation has been guiding guests out on the Continental Divide all season long.  We still have a few open spots on our calendar for the winter.  With our dynamic pricing model, the costs have dropped since earlier in the winter and…

The storm cycles have been interesting this season.  While there have been some stretches between storms, when they do arrive they have consistently over produced the forecast.  We picked up 8″ of snow overnight and a few more inches during the day today.  While we had full-on spring skiing conditions over the weekend, today was a straight up POW Day! …

It’s almost been too nice over the last three or four days.  We’ve had beautiful blue skies, warm temps and no wind.  The weather was very friendly on the ridgeline for all of the competitors, coaches, judges and spectators as we hosted two days of IFSA competitions on High Anxiety and out in Mirkwood.  It looks like tomorrow will be…

Here is a look at Mt. Princeton from high above.  This 14k peak towers over the town of nearby Buena Vista, CO here in Chaffee County.  I grabbed this photo earlier this winter on a return flight to Denver. Flying high above the Rocky Mountains on the wings of a jet is a pretty cool deal.  Maybe the only deal…

We had a solid run with our storm track picking up 30″ of snow in eleven days.  We received this abundance of snow between February 11th-21st.  The skiing and riding has been amazing here lately with solid coverage, pow stashes, and soft groomers.  Looking ahead, we have some warmer and sunny weather through the rest of the month.  We still…

We have received 18″ of snow in the last six days.  This morning, we had beautiful blue skies with soft snow.  By the end of the day, the next round of storms had already rolled in.  We are expecting snow throughout much of the week ahead.  The conditions have been amazing this week and it’s great to be back in…

This drone shot overview of No Name Basin says it all.  Our terrain expansion on the west side of the Continental Divide is going to be incredible.  We have a lot to look forward to!

While we are in this unusual warm and dry spell here in the heart of what should be winter, the skiing conditions have still been a lot of fun.  Over the last few weeks we have been skiing a mix of groomers, corn, bumps, and chalky snow under bluebird skies.  The latter condition is actually a bit more rare for…

While the morning didn’t bring new snow, it offered a beautiful sunrise over Gunbarrel.  We are moving into the second half of the ski season as we head into February.  So far, its been a good season with the early opening and for the most part, great coverage on our trails thus far.  While we are ready for the next…

We conducted several tours of the No Name Basin terrain last week.  These included the USFS site visit; a marketing tour with photographers, videographers, and drone work; and a day with local and state legislators.  We are getting a good idea of what this experience will be like with a few groomed trails, open glades, powder stashes, and a very…
