Wow! I'm about as die hard basin Pali lapper as they come, and "Splendidly" is not a word that came to mind when skiing anything off Pali this week or last. I mean, a few good turns on the spine, but other than that, it's pretty bad.
Now, the trees off Loafer are usually decent, and hold snow well as they face NE. They are called the "Dogwoods" and named after former Avy Dogs. FYI. Used to be called "Westwoods" before Al got a hold of them.

A friend sent me some old pics of us riding the Beavers in deep snow the other day and it made me all nostalgic. Sure miss having it to ourselves. I probably had a few thousand runs between the Beavers and Steep gullies back then. Rode back there more than I rode inbounds back then.
Snake pit to Westwoods was definitely the place to be a few days after a storm or even a wind event that knocks the snow off the trees. I remember some deeeeeep days in there when the resort reported 4".

116 mph wind gust recorded on Peak 6 last night. Peak 8 was recording higher values than the Pk 6 station up until about midnight, then no data available after that. Never felt my place shake like that before.
Old's Cool.

I skied Mary Jane today. Conditions were better than expected, but I’m a pessimist currently. It was windy, but as a graduate of Loveland’s #9 chair, it wasn’t bad at all. Lifts ran all day, but there were more than a few trees down on the groomed trails. Patrol was out with chainsaws clearing the way. Skiing, bombs and chainsaws seems like a good gig.

So, apparently the need for the resorts to follow any of colorado tramway rules has been negated by the appeals court. At this point, the safety rules are not enforceable by the government.

Seems quite odd to me... i guess benny is on his own the next time he has trouble getting off the lift.

I don't know. This one is pretty cut and dry to me. the lift didn't malfunction, she just didn't get out of the way when unloading and the chair hit her. It would be different if the lift had malfunctioned causing injury. If she wins this, where does it end. Chair 9 has a similar issue consistently because the bullwheel is right at the unload point, so the chairs swing around and hit people pretty often. This is often compounded by a head wind when offloading. Is it the ski area's fault that the lift hits you?
