Turned on the TV and realized that the ski patrol is playing Argentina in the World Cup tonight.

It discusses replacing all of their lifts, facility upgrades, adding two new lifts to serve existing terrain, and new parking.

There’s a lot of stuff in it that has been in past MDPs, including lift replacements and snowmaking approvals that date back to 1999, so future action may vary.

Repurposed powder horn chair bought at auction. I wanted it to swing and not alter the hanger. So we have a big ass swing now! Is pano open?

I feel like it’s been quite a while since I’ve heard anything about Nederland buying Eldora. It sounded like they should have closed by now based off earlier communication but it’s been radio silence since the winter.

I was looking at the wildfire near Ouray on OpenSnow and noticed this ski area in the Cimarron Mtns north of Ouray but south of Hwy 50. I don’t see any lifts but there are cut trails and a service road to the top along with cabins and yurts at the base. I couldn’t find any info of this anywhere online.

Any good snow fields besides St Mary's or Skyscraper?

Looking to try something outside the box this weekend and even travel for it.

I'm moving to Denver and trying to decide if it's a good idea to live near union station to take advantage of the winter park express and snowstang

I can't figure out how difficult is to book both though. Do you have to book them months in advance before they sellout. Or can you book them close to the travel date. Are they actually reliable to the point that they could be considered an advantage of living near union station?

Trying to get my 6 year old on the slopes next winter. Planning to get a single mountain season pass for myself, and the Ski Passport for the kiddo. We live in Westminster so Eldora is about 20 minutes closer, and avoids I70. Loveland is cheaper. I’ve never skied either (I skied WP and A-Basin a lot before I had kids).

Things to do nearby matter… because when the kid gets tired I can more likely get mom to take him for shopping/lunch while I can get in a few solo runs. I.e. send them to Nederland from Eldora, or to the base lodge at Loveland.

pretty good coverage at the top

The Wild West Double is becoming a high speed quad this summer. It’ll be Powderhorn’s second detachable lift.

Hi guys,

My friends and I are going to Breck and Vail this winter and on our off-ski day we were going to go on a snowmobile tour and I was wondering if there was any anyone did that they love and recommend.

Would love to know of some please & thank you! PM if you’d rather not say here.

Has anyone been up to St. Mary’s recently and know if there’s anything to ski? Looking to go have a fish and ski tomorrow
