Powdered Lightning

Last day 'fore Christmas break, it's

crowdin' up out there, but Afternooners 

such as ourselves always seem to find a spot

in the lot. Cold and snow drive the earlybirds

away by noon, but that doesn't stop the snow

from falling, and it kept coming, topping off

the 8" of powder reported overnight.

It was cold but very nice.

Temp in the lot at the bottom (even colder up top)

Holy narrow and steep

Last run to the lot...

right to the car, the lone dark dirtwagon,center frame.

Have a super holiday.

Falling Down.

"Why do we fall down Master Bruce?...

...So we learn how to get back up."

- Alfred the Butler

Having said that, you'd think that after

being down 5 times today, The Tewker

would be some kind of gettin' up fool.

After a nearly 3 week hiatus, Mean Gene

rejoined the ranks of the A.S.C. for 

a midday ski trip to Loveland.

It was super cold and windy up top

as a storm is approaching from the west.

So we went and explored some new trees.

It t'was sweeet. 

Look a snowbird...

Aahhaa, new terrain, gladed chutes.

Going in, Gene first, cliffs and danger on your right.

Lotsa fresh snow and good coverage,

especially for this time of year, excellent.

The run deposited us at the I-70 offramp

on the north-sieed, just up from the tunnel.

Gene filmed in "shittie-vision."

Improvements in video quality to come,

sometime. "Action Cam" has been temporarily

suspended until adjustments are made.

The storm that I mentioned earlier could

bring over a foot of fresh, so a return is 

planned for Tuesday. After that the crowds

may become to overwhelming for a couple 

of weeks, so we gots to get our ski on, now.

22 @ 2:22

It was 22 degrees at 2:22 pm when I rolled

into the lot at Loveland for some extreme

late afternoon runs. I had my doubts about what

awaited me when I got there, but I had to

get out of my house as I'm starting to get

my Christmas"shine"(as in The Shining).

Was I ever stoked to find 4-6" of fresh powder

and few other riders at this point in the day.

It was well worth the trip. Hooky Day pt.2

is on January 12th $10 lift passes!

I know, right.

Ol' Glory proudly displayed atop Lift 1

Wow 2 diamonds, must be very special.

Going down?

All to myself, plenty of fresh.

I took the line right next to the trees...sweet.

My self imposed Christmas break

kicks in next week. We'll try to get out 

a time or two more 'fore then, c'mon back.

Hooky Day

Hooky Day was a good day as what were

forecasted to be overcast skies burned away

to reveal blue skies. It was stil a bit cold

but a great day nonetheless as we toured 

around with some Loveland virgins.

Into the Great White Open.

B.O.B. is back in the A.S.C. pack!

We had plenty of new lifts and terrain

to check out today. Nearly 70% of the area 

is now open, so we checked some

schtuff out.

B.O.B. gazes out over the Continental Divide

and ponders man's existence, or somethin'

Sketchy carnage laden bobsled run to 

the tunnel "at" the tunnel, to the base.

The poor souls behind us here were

experiencing some difficulty getting

through this bulletproof, rocky crap run.

mucho blanco.

Avoid the light... stay out of the light...

This tunnel actually goes under the interstate, 

back to the base area, "please remove skis."

heh heh.

Interstate 70 enters Eisenhower Tunnel,

then under the ski area.

Blood on the snow.

My big white face on this big white face.

Thursday is "Hooky Day" at Loveland

so hopefully we'll a crew together.

It's snowing again .......

6 More...at least.

Wow, It keeps coming,

more runs open every day,

bigger snowpiles in the parking

lot, tell tale signs of a promising

season. I went solo today for 

a few suprisingly awesome runs.

Not but a few pictures though.

I got some more "action cam"

material to check later, no time 

to check and post but I might

ad stuff later.

For now...

Afternoon squalls n' sun mix.

Thanks for lookin'.

63" Total @ Lift 1 Top! (unofficial)

That's right, since the beginning

of last weekend over 5 FEET of

new snow at Loveland by this Monday

afternoon, that was the claimed total

up top. What a way to kick start the season.

I was really starting to get bored with

the limited selection of blues and greens.

Today me and G. Tewkington(video provider)

were thrust upon big steep bumps and 

some narrow alleys and other varied terrain

that only a black diamond designation 

can provide, it was awesome!

Much whiter than just a week ago.

Mucho snow.

Excellent alleyway.

That blur is Mean Gene. His camera too.

I thought it was an auto focus...not.

Lil' slow...lil' sloppy but I got down it unscathed.

(video by Gene)

It seems like a lot more terrain

could be opening soon thanks to

mother natures little "gift" this weekend.

More excitement to come.

Thanksgivings Eve Day

Howdy Y'all!!!

The tourists are slowing seeping in

as the holiday weekend approaches.

Our chairman of the "board" reports

a monster storm for the southwest

part of CO. I hope we get some up here.

I'm getting the "action cam" bugs worked

out, but still dialing it in. our first

edited video is being posted today.

Everyone loves our furry patrol pals.

ooohh tricky.

That's right December 11th, $10.00... anyone?

Cat n, jet.

Meanwhile, overhead.

We'll be back after the holiday weekend,

hopefully with more snow to show. Come back!

Happy Thanksgiving...gobble gobble.

Now With More Dorky...

I had to come up the LL(Loveland)

 solo to check out our teched out new

"ACTION CAM"  from

which no video will be shown today.

I had to test it first, what I  came 

up with was some dizzying clips of

snow going by real fast, as I had it 

aimed too low. The lighting sucked

ass today too, sunny elsewhere...

not here, nothing usable...yet.

BUT...it'll be real cool once it's dialed in.

Tool Cam.

Hey it's snowing!!!!

Things will become far less sucky

as the season progresses, check back soon!

Indian Autumn

Today was one of those beautiful

Colorado days that you could do just

about anything, from biking to golfing...

it was unseasonably warm for mid-

November. Of course The Tewkwer and

I rolled up the highway to make some

turns at Loveland for an hour or so.

Another lift...Another run opened... Total: 7 runs, 3 lifts

( kinda slim w/ T-giving near)

Midway loading... keep those tips up.

Coming and going.

Always aim snow guns AWAY from trees!

Amaze as I display the horns of hell.

One of our new logo's, designed by me...

concept by Mean Gene Tewkerman.

I may go with the other one though...

Please stay tuned as cool new stuff

is in the works for this season on our

funny little blog.

Election Day

The expansion of skiable terrain increased

a  whopping 25% with the addition of a fourth

open run and a second lift opened as well at

Loveland today. Me n' M.G. made first lift at about

12:30. Conditions were windy with light squalls

of something that resembled laundry powder for the 

first part of the afternoon, eventually clouds gave way

to the blue and our last run was a sunny one.

Approaching sun breaks across the Divide,

and the Tewker.

Brian and Stewie somewhere along the way.

And none of this would be possible

were it not for this...

Oh whatta lonely boy.

Panoramic Splendor.

 

Blue Cruisin'

All apologies for the lack of interesting

content as this is kinda early in the season

and not a great deal is open, but keep

checking back as more opens and we'll

hopefully improve video quality too.
