Arapahoe Basin - Live

Quick update from Arapahoe Basin. AKD and I made our way up yesterday and we were happy to see bluebird conditions most of the morning. Partly cloudy by noon, the snow was nice and slushy by 10:30. 65" inch base. Top to bottom skiing and snowboarding open along with hiking access to all of the east wall terrain. Around 2:30pm the lightning started up and the lifts shutdown. I've gotten four days of riding here since I've been back on the board after the back injury and I've gotta say this might be the only resort I buy a pass at next season. They are always open early, get great snow, stay open late into the summer, one of the only places with free parking, good terrain, good backcountry access, and there is a great vibe at the beach. Another little piece that made this weeks trip much more enjoyable was the installation of the Kenwood KCA-iP500 Ipod Interface into the SnowUV's Kenwood DDX7015 head unit. This little black box interfaces perfectly with my 2 year old double din dvd/cd/mp3 player providing a direct connection (no FM transmit) to the head unit and ipod. Allows you to control the ipod from the head unit and also view track names, artists, etc. Really great sound. More on the SnowUV Landcruiser mods later.
