Loveland tomorrow?

[The SnowShow]

I mean... it takes two lift rides to get there (up 4, down a cat road, then up 8) and then it's 3 turns per 9 minute lift ride, then you either have to ski another cat road or down Facepalm to get back to any other worthwhile skiing once you get bored of those 3 turns.

I maintain that the pro tip is to not ski Chair 8.

I don’t know man, Awesome is pretty awesome! 🕺

I hope you know that was said in jest. By the way, I really appreciate all of the super cool historic photos of loveland you have been flooding our facebook feeds with.

Oh shit. I just put 2 & 2 together!

Thanks for the photos.

That may be the least exciting "expansion" plan I've ever seen.

tldr: 500 more parking spaces at the Valley and two small green options off Lift 3.

Now only if we could get beginners to unload at 3 midway....

Much better than a lift to Marmot.

What's their existing parking capacity? 500 cars seems like a lot but I'm not a dentist.

On a note related to In the Mood, a short walk to #4 headwall for 3 turns was the call Monday. The wind destroyed just about everything else.

50-60mph winds forecast for Fri/Sat. I’ll be around Thurs anyway.

This is why you have no bootlicking.

...a short walk to #4 headwall...

You know... just this season I learned there's a #6 Headwall. I've never seen it, never skied it, but apparently it exists. A friend sent me a picture of the sign for the hike to it.

I dunno you guys... seems legit.

Where is that sign?

Apparently completely visible right as you get off Chair 6. Which is probably why I've never seen it... once terrain starts opening up I don't ride Chair 6. And this probably isn't open until terrain starts opening up. I am curious about it though...

It's short, featureless in the frequent windy/snowy conditions, but occasionally has really good snow and a few decent turns.

So it's like skiing at Loveland. Got it.

I assume so, I actually have no idea.

[RyansFaith]

Came here to say that exact thing. If you can't have fun doing that in the wind recycled pow or chopped up soft, then I don't know what to say路

agreed.

8 always has good snow.

I have never skied 9 this is our first year at LL. So far I really like 4 and 6 has some fun runs, although not challenging in any way. I can’t wait to ski cat trees this weekend. I have not ventured to tiger tail mainly because I get tired of freezing my ass off waiting for Chets dream.

I really like LL but runs are short there IMO.

I want to hit #4 head wall but it is a pita to get to lately.

[doebedoe]

If you're not skiing steeps under and to skiers right of Chets, you're missing most the good steep terrain currently open at Loveland. East/West Ropes and Tunnel face (not The Face which is different...and also open) are all now open and this is the prime time to ski them.

Rgr that.

wind shut us down last weekend before we could ski the ropes or tunnel face.

I don’t mind the face too much but it’s not worth the effort.

hopefully the weather cooperates Sunday and most people will head to Ptarmigan.

hope to hit avalanche bowl and the ropes this weekend.

how is spring skiing at LL?

You're like SkaredShtles and NTM when it comes to LL then? Although, he's finally put tires on those trails this past summer... so maybe your time at Loveland is coming!

[adrenalated]

there is so much jong I don't know where to start other than jong should probably avoid cat's trees because
1) it cliffs out and jong will die
2) it's not called cat's trees
3) WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ON THE TRAIL MAP

Yes! Me too. Really cool to see all the personal photos. That FB group is the best thing on my feed. Getting a glimpse into the past of LL’s local Ski culture is so rad!
