That would be awesome... Get it over a silhouette of a dude in a beanie and some carhartts chasing the chicken down whatever the main drag is there...

I always wondered why those "you wouldn't like it here" stickers didn't also mention that it's flat. Maybe hits a little too close to home? Loveland needs to play to its strengths... Maybe make up...

Don't do that. Everybody knows there's nothing at the Basin that can compare to THE RIDGE. Plus, you'd have to drive all the way over there, and wade through all that vail blackout overflow... ...

I've bumped into that dude at the basin a couple dozen times... He's no Charlie, but maybe one day...

Speaking if which, anyone seen Charlie since the spring?

Somewhere in the archives I have a copy of "Safety Takes a Day Off", featuring many the current AB management, when they were on patrol circa 1985 or so. I think one of them might shoot me with the...

Gold!

That's been discussed... would be awesome. The Jones pass dorks would throw a fit.

FWIW, it's not all like that, although some for sure. PM me if you want to talk about it IRL.

Pretty sure break's over. Put the cap back on and go bag some fries.

Didn't you see the I70 thread? Everything in Clear Creek County is so uniquely challenging that no one could possibly any insight into how it could be better managed.

Go ski both sides of Gauthier and tell me again that the differences between 45+ and 50+ are insignificant.

Maybe it's 50 degrees in the summer.

Lift 9 is OPEN!!!! Serving no less than 400 lateral feet of 32 degree above tree line snooze fest! Luckily, you can actually catch a nap on the 35 minute ride up.

:fmicon:

lol. Don't try to play it off. Only loveland could find themselves jammed up with so few people... at least when people ski at abasin with upside down goggles and backwards helmets they're trying...

eat a dick, digital dingleberry. have fun rooming with benjamin.

See you at the Evergreen Home Depot, biatch.

U mad bro?

Lol... get off the main drag, nancy! And no, I won't tell you where!

I love how you guys look at that vast expanse of low angle monotony and think "we'll call that hundred feet "Challenger", and the next hundred feet will be "North Star", and the next hundred feet...

You're right... But the east side of the pali lift (from Powder Keg to APG) shares a lot in common with the ridge and in the 1200 or so days I've skied up there in the last several years, I can...

You should cross post this into the I70 thread...

There isn't anything at loveland that even vaguely resembles the east wall. Don't be a retard. Everyone knows the EW doesn't open until early spring, and it does so like clockwork, thanks to the...

^ right? you can ski AB with no blackouts for $260 if you buy for two years. Pretty sure that's gets you an unguided day at Silverton and three days at Taos each season. If you weren't a pass...

^ the change in leadership 5 years ago?

Broaden your scope a little... when main street gets tracked out, try <redacted> or also, <redacted> stays good for a long time.

There are a few, although I'm not sure where they pull the 5:30am read since they tore down the old base area patrol building. One's behind BML, and there's another outside PHQ.

Fify.

Loveland certainly reports more snow most storms. I think most people would agree that AB has one of the most conservative reporting policies in the region, and inch for reported inch, it's...

You rooming with Benjamin this season to save on the imaginary hotel bill?

Hey DD. I'll paypal you $1,000.00 if you produce a 100% legit video of you hitting Kong Rock from the top. No bullshit. Any weirdness, no money. Get other people involved. I expect the meet up...

Probably not open until April.

A-Basin. Between Jump, Gauthier, and SfB (side country) you'll get all you want, and then some. In all honesty, I'd be astounded if you bagged any of them. 13 Cornices is probably all you need and...

In North Korea, Kim Jong Un is colloquially known as a The Great Leader. Just because something is a colloquialism doesn't make it true.

THE RIDGE!!!1

is steep for about 3 turns.

^ I'm pretty sure they update their Geocities page first...

Hmm.. Dunno. A September start on a lift project seems ridiculous (and totally par for the Loveland course). I've only worked around lift replacements twice, but both times they started more or...

Classic loveland... Lift construction begins the same week as snowmaking, and probably first measurable snowfall.

Anyone heard about the damage to chair 3 (?) from lightning that was supposedly...

Anybody hit airplane recently? How's the landing?

Might make it up there tomorrow. Sat and Sun for sure.
