Perhaps a bigger parking lot for sale and Keystone is the answer. might as well add a groomer to the equation as well. They could be grooming both Sale and Keystone.
You think they'll have someone to man the toll booth up in Keystone or Sale

Tried getting up Joss today.
Didn't really know where we were going.
Think that's a spot better suited to riding with someone that knows the area.

There is a half dozen reasons why this statement is true and I don't mean that in a condescending way.

I have been quite suspired to see a local, well respected guiding company repeatedly taking groups on rentals, clearly above their skill level into this area.

Wow. That's nuts.
Our group is fairly decent. And we turned back.
Partly because we were unfamiliar with the area, and that gut feeling kicked in.

Gut feelings are good to recognize. Most people who have had an event have had a gut feeling prior.

That area has consequences if you don’t know where your going and it get socked in.

Coming out next week again. Hope there is some decent snow. Looks like it will be cooler again but sunny.
Should be lots left over for you Ken.
The cooler temps next week will hold the snow pack.

This recent snow on the old hard, sun backed, icey surfaces is terrible as hell.
We have have seen lots of small slides everywhere.
Be damn careful.
The persistent wind has created drifts and overhangs in many areas

Can see blue sky forming over Boulder this morning.

Was a smasher day yesterday.
Out of parking lot by 9, out of gas by 1.
The poor cllutches and belt were screaming! Cool me down please! LOL

Rode yesterday. 18” on concrete. Saw a 3 foot slab break on an open hill. Please be careful.
Blue sky today. Heading to a small local type zone. Should be decent snow. But she didn’t puke last night. :(

Didnt take long
First big pull up the face of Sugar Bowl.
The guy failed and it avied.
I just dont get it,

People dont check or read conditions?
Natural selection?

No injuries or damage. But the potential was there.
Rant over...

On the actual hill everyone climbs before you zip over to Sugar Bowl or farther down that valley where you enter from the upper ridge?

Rode Boulder Saturday and both turtle and boulder today. Was great. No problem finding snow. Burned entire tanks both days. Avy hazard is high, it’s very active there. Be smart and ride safe everyone.
