April 2nd Antlers Vail hotel ski report, it is deep and snowing hard

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Antlers Vail hotel ski report April 2nd:  Deep and snowing hard.  They reported 11 inches up on Vail mountain.  There was at least that much.  Down here in Lionshead it looked like 2 inches, but higher up, oh wow.  Here are some shots while riding Chair 5 out of the Back Bowls.  It if full on winter with cold and snow.  Turn up your boot heaters.  Chris R.

Brrrr

Winter

Vail snow report and ski conditions from Antlers at Vail

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Here is the Vail snow and ski condition report from the Antlers at Vail condos for March 9th, 2010.  4 inches of new snow.  7 inches in the last 2 days.  Nice cool temps.  Skiing is fantastic.  Good powder in the Back Bowls, yet no one is around.  Very quiet on the hill.  On the back side there is a bit of crust underneath the powder but it is still quite nice.  If you can, try to get over to the north facing Blue Sky Basin.  They’ll have the best snow the next couple of days.

Heading into Game Creek Bowl with Blue skies ahead

Top of Chair 2, empty chairs

9:30 a.m. and hardly any tracks in the Back Bowls

A few powder turns in Sun Down Bowl

Antlers Vail Colorado head cam, March skiing

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Testing out the Vail Colorado head cam.  Super sunshine and corn snow in the Back Bowls.  But snow is predicted to start at 2:10 a.m. this coming evening.  Hopefully some powder tomorrow.

The video above might take a bit to download because the tunes are so good.  Click it, then go to the kitchen and make some cookies while it downloads. Nothing special about the skiing on the film except for some fun GS turns in the Back Bowls and a lesson on how to get on the chair lift.  Excuse the spelling error on “Emperor’s Choice”. No new snow the last few days, but it doesn’t matter.  Nice spring skiing, corn snow in the back, groomers on the front.  Chris R.
