They won't start charging until they start grooming. Need a bunch more snow first.

Have you been out yet? Is the snow alright? heading there Dec 3-5th with a crew. Heard Silent isn't good, just wanna know if Quartz is!

We tried getting into silent on friday and rode quartz on sat. Couldnt get into silent and hit a rock the first 20 mins at quartz and broke my a arm. I'm not riding again until they have another 3 feet on snow

hmmm...I wonder if we should re-book our rooms for Revy. I'm heading out Dec. 3-5th. Think it'd be good then?!

ya fernie and crowsnest is reporting 2 1/2-3 feet everywere and in some pockets more it will be in the -2 -0 range on friday and the weekend so should let this snow bond a bit make a bit better base but most ski hills in the area are reporting 150 cm's and I know for a fact 2 buddys from pincher rode the south castle area in the pass and were hip deep all day on the main road and trail

snowed hard in Golden all day today, not sure what the accumulation was at Quartz but I'd say be careful cause all the rocks you saw last weekend are still just under fresh snow!! haha.
Should be good riding again this weekend in Cabin Valley and in the trees but I wouldn't point it up anything yet that's for sure. I saw WAY too much last weekend that ended badly!!
They are starting to charge this weekend!! So $20 at trail head or 150 at GSR for season. GAME ON!

Just coming home from quartz had an awesome blue sky day. Droped into the far right bowl. All untouched powder few rocks not to bad did lots of climbing no problem. Saw one bent dragon at the cabin. The trail is not groomed all the way but better then nothin.

Anyone up for a day trip to Quartz tomorrow? I had it all planned out but my buddy has to work now. Not planning on any crazy riding just yet, just a ride to get used to the new sled and make sure she is working well.
