Trip Report: “Hungry Like the Wolf (Creek)…Again”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s start with the givens:\u00a0 (1) the universe is fundamentally unknowable; (2) time is an illusion created by our brains to find structure in the screaming chaos of existence; and (3) Wolf Creek gets a lot of goddamn snow.<\/p>\n

I’ve studied snowsports for years, my dearest friends, and I can state with some certainty that snow is important.\u00a0 There have been some promising experiments with hoverboards–as I learned in a trilogy of documentaries starring a teenage Michael J Fox and some elderly scientist–but the technology just isn’t there yet.\u00a0 One day, though.\u00a0 Oh yes, one day.<\/p>\n

Anyway, snow has not been plentiful this season in the Rockies.\u00a0 Most of January and February was dominated by a warm, sunny system that chipped away at base depths and brought frequent days of spring-like conditions to our favorite resorts.\u00a0 But things change quickly in this unknowable universe, and the southern tip of Colorado’s San Juan mountains ended February with two weeks of shockingly snowy weather.\u00a0 You can see it for yourself in this Wolf Creek snowfall calendar that I expertly cut and pasted from the essential ski blog OpenSnow.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I’m not saying OpenSnow’s weather guru Joel Gratz is literally a prophet.\u00a0 I’m just saying, I have no reason to believe he isn’t.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m a terrible guesser.\u00a0 The last time I renewed my driver’s license, I put “probably between three and five thousand pounds” for my weight.\u00a0 But even I, a terrible guesser, was pretty confident that conditions around Wolf Creek would be worthwhile during an heroic storm cycle that brought over 100″ of snow in twelve days.\u00a0 Armed with that forecast and our fattest skis, the Powder7 Team headed down Highway 285 to the hamlet of South Fork, Colorado–exactly one year to the day from our famous* first trip to Wolf Creek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was snowing on Thursday night when we arrived at Powder7 Manor in South Fork, it was snowing when we left on Tuesday afternoon, and, in between, it was snowing.\u00a0 It snowed a lot, is what I’m saying.\u00a0 Over that period, the resort base depths climbed from below 80″ to well over 100″.<\/p>\n

In the interest of brevity, for this trip report I experimented with communicating the highlights via exaggerated gesturing instead of words.\u00a0 But I found it didn’t suit the blog format.\u00a0 Instead, here’s our Wolf Creek experience, as told through photos and the basic building blocks of language:\u00a0 punctuation and emoticons.\u00a0 All images can be embiggened with a click.<\/p>\n

Friday, February 27th<\/strong>:\u00a0 6″ of new snow, exclamation point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Facts about Steve:\u00a0 he’s English, his favorite team is Nottingham Forest which can’t be a real thing, and, before this trip, he’d never skied a day in his life.\u00a0 So courageous.\u00a0 (Skis: Volkl Two<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Saturday, February 28th<\/strong>:\u00a0 10″ of new snow, smiley face emoticon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Justin, in the trees below the Waterfall Area, wishing he was a better skier.\u00a0 Also wishing he had world-weary eyes and a mysterious accent that hinted at danger…and, perhaps, romance?\u00a0 (Skis: Head Turbine<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sunday, March 1st<\/strong>:\u00a0 16″ of new snow, two smiley face emoticons, exclamation point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
In Horseshoe Bowl, hike-to terrain found at the end of the Knife Ridge.\u00a0 Not to be confused with Spoon Ridge, which is a soup-centric food truck I just made up.\u00a0 (Skis: Head Cyclic<\/a>; Armada Bubba<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Monday, March 2nd<\/strong>:\u00a0 10″ of new snow, giant smiley face emoticon, two exclamation points.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Andrew, somewhere near the Abracadabra trees, going for a helicopter.\u00a0 After a dozen full revolutions in the air, he slowly descended to the ground and skied off in silence.\u00a0 We haven’t seen him since.\u00a0 (Skis: Armada Magic J<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tuesday, March 3rd<\/strong>:\u00a0 13″ of new snow, two giant smiley face emoticons exploding into a hundred exclamation points.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Steve, in the Alphabet tree chutes.\u00a0 I keep trying to tell him to lean back on his heels and flail his arms wildly, like I do, but he won’t listen.\u00a0 It’s like he doesn’t want to learn how to ski, you know?\u00a0 (Skis: Volkl Two<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And here’s a picture of what looks very much like, but probably isn’t, Zack jumping over Justin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
No one remembers why they started doing it, but, on the seventh attempt, Zack finally cleared Justin–who, by that time, was nothing but bruises and whimpering and regrets.\u00a0 (Skis: Moment Ghost Train<\/a>; K2 Annex 118<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wolf Burgers were there, too:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At Wolf Creek, all burgers are served rare.\u00a0 Because that’s what wolves eat.\u00a0 I feel like I shouldn’t have had to explain that to you.
<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a trip of astonishing discoveries, Powder7 friends.\u00a0 For example, this snowboarder discovered that the steep pitches accessible from the Knife Ridge will occasionally hold belly-deep snow:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Embracing the deep.\u00a0 Just like I hope the public embraces my new concept album “How White Was My Valley:\u00a0 A Tribute to Wolf Creek,” available for purchase on some eastern European versions of iTunes.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’d list all the worthwhile things we found at Wolf Creek, but I hate lists and do everything I can to avoid them.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Oh, I have my reasons.\u00a0 And I’d list them for you if doing that wouldn’t be so ironic.\u00a0 But I will say this:\u00a0 lift tickets at Wolf Creek remain absurdly cheap, crowds are minimal, and there are glades for days.\u00a0 And it’s not even four hours from Golden, if you travel well above the speed limit with no regard for road conditions or the safety of your passengers, Dan.<\/p>\n

(What follows is Dan’s\u00a0 account of the time he almost killed half of us:\u00a0 “As we descended at a cautious pace down the slick road from the ski area to the town of South Fork, my trusty Subaru began to gently fishtail.\u00a0 Suddenly, the sliding was less gentle.\u00a0 The rear end of the car whipped wildly back and forth, inching us closer and closer to the unguarded cliff on our right, while I fought for control.\u00a0 With no railing between us and a drop of several hundred feet to the mighty Rio Grande, we smashed through the flimsy road reflector marking the edge of the precipice.\u00a0 That’s when I shouted “I’m putting us into the mountain!” and jerked the wheel left to send the car into the rocky wall on the other side of the road.\u00a0 As it turns out, the massive 100″ storm had left a perfect cushion into which the Subaru plowed.\u00a0 Within minutes, helpful passersby had dug us out and we lived to ski another day.\u00a0 No lives were lost.\u00a0 We can stop talking about this now.<\/em>“)<\/p>\n

But, inevitably, the storm tapered off, most of us badly injured ourselves trying to jump off things or over people, and it was time to say goodbye to Wolf Creek.\u00a0 I think I’ll miss you most, Lift Tower #11.\u00a0 You always “got” me.\u00a0 Because ski trips, you see, like the ski season itself, are ephemeral.\u00a0 Unless you go to the Southern Hemisphere when our northern ski season ends, I guess.\u00a0 Or unless you consider that, in an infinitely expanding universe, there are, by necessity, an infinite number of Wolf Creeks being skied by an infinite number of Powder7 Teams…infinitely.\u00a0 I think this paragraph really got away from me, there.\u00a0 You can read more stuff like that in my new collection of essays, “Horrible Ways to End a Trip Report.”<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s another picture of Steve.\u00a0 Goodbye.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Once again, and I cannot stress this enough, Steve had never seen–or even heard of–snow until this trip.\u00a0 I believe he’s more of an ultimate frisbee guy.\u00a0 Loves to huck the ol’ disc.\u00a0 (Skis: Volkl Two<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
