2017-2018 Colorado Snow conditions thread

I know it's been a sad winter so far.  I created this support group to help out all of the sad fellow skiers.

Not really, this is just to talk about snow

I know Canada seems backwards but you really can fly there.  Don't have to drive

Don’t drive anywhere. I was rubbing those conditions in your face :)

At least November and December weather has been spectacular for climbing.

It's been great ice climbing in Silverton without looking at the avalanche forecast.

Too bad I don't ice climb.

Joe, it really seems like you don't do much. I don't fly in airplanes, I don't ice climb.  Lots of no from you.  You should really see the glass as half full.  That really is a prerequisite for living in Denver

You could’ve used the original snow report I used as I used to be there :( I don’t know what’s worse living in Maryland or not living in Whistler. 

Anybody have updates on winter park/Mary Jane?

Matthew, this is the snow thread, we already have an ice Thread.

No hard feelings

We had plenty in Winter Park, Co during Christmas.

 Powder Project would be a perfect place for this thread.  It seems out of place on climbing website. Teton gravity is good to.  Although a slightly tougher crew. Lots of hurt feelings over there.

There is a snow conditions thread (most) every season. I think the /intent/ is to describe conditions relevant for snow climbing and mountaineering, but it does sometimes shift to back-country skiing conditions, especially when related to ski mountaineering. Beside, Powder Project just doesn't seem to have reached critical mass to be worthwhile yet and maybe never will.
