Thought I would post a new conditions thread.

Sledded in the Dogtooth range near Golden yesterday (Feb 17). The whole range is wind scoured and there are some scary wind slabs that are releasing high (cornice failure or rider trigger) and running full path.

The snow is pretty bad for skiing or boarding but really set up and amazing for touring. We linked the whole range yesterday from Gormans to Quartz and it a fun little trip. Blue bird conditions and great views.

Sunday at Eagles Pass was pretty solid... Blue blazer... and hero snow (could go anywhere but still found lots of over the hood). Found some good laps too but our pits told us to stay away from anything too rad.
Easy to moderate results 40cm and 60cm down failing clean and fast. Also saw a few sledder triggered size 1s.

Hit up Silent Pass yesterday.

It was pretty good. There's some really deep pockets. We managed to snowboard 5 good laps each.

It snowed there all day.

Quartz near Golden was super sick this week.

Here's a vid from my friends at sled shot:
