exactly who am i hyping for?
1. in the winter it is often much more than 20 minutes closer.
2. parking would be closer to lifts, saving yet more time.
3. it wouldn't be the same crap. much of the terrain back there is very gentle glades and bowls. vail terrain. plus thunder bowl.
4. regardless of how much closer it is or isn't, or how much crappier it would be, more people would be willing to pay for it.
