Thread: Loveland tomorrow?

I’d much rather continue to support Loveland than bitch about Epic or Ikon while still giving them money.
All that is open is skiing well, but it would be nice to disperse the lines a bit with another lift turning.

About the chair one steeps, as I'm sure you know, that north aspect turns to sugar as they let it sit through the early season storms. We've had this convo over the years and I will always have my opinion that the base would be nice and deep (and avy safe) if they just let people ski it. It's the culture there, nothing to do with money or whatnot, imo.
No matter, I'm in Leadville now and realizing that Monarch is not that much further to drive. And I'm having a lot of fun at Copper. I did go Karen on some people coming off the bus without masks, I called them vectors, hahaha omg. I hate being stuck on that bus, trying to figure out how to walk to the superbee.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

They are building a bunch of condos and a fancy hotel at the base of A in the next few years. Kinda bummed about that. Always parked for free and hopped right on the mountain there. It was kinda the little secret stash for a long time. Ride the power lines all the way back to the truck in the old days.

I just haven't quite figured it out. There is a lot of grooming (nordic style) around a neighborhood between the tubing and the A lot. I skied/walked out once but ended up at the north end of the lot and I'm parked at the south end.
Oh man when I first moved over here I was driving to the lot at the bottom of A lift and just showing my employee ID - the official designation was "free for carpoolers". The vibe was so perfect, like pulling up to Pali.
Now they charge $25 to park there. I guess if I had all the money in the world I would like a shiny condo on the east side, hahaha. With parking privileges of course! Copper has been changing a lot since I've been skiing there these past few seasons. I guess they are taking a beat from Vail Resorts. The skiing is just fine though, in my opinion, at least after the racers leave in December. I think Copper has gone too far giving too much space and priority to racers, for instance, A-lift is completely blocked until they leave. It seems disrespectful to season pass holders...Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

I wonder what kind of high speed lift will go in where A is. No way rich condo folks are gonna ride that slow ass double.
I used to just drive in like I owned the place and not stop at the kiosk. Minimum wage parking guy could give two shits.
We should start a Copper thread. I hear they bootlicked Spaulding a few times already.

I was going to take my kid and her friend to Loveland on day passes tomorrow but they’re all sold out. Looks like they’re limiting capacity this weekend.

Dude I walked out to the other (south side) yesterday. And It was a very nice ski down between A lift and super bee terrain, lovely woods! Hopefully I can find my way again although it was really fun to puzzle it out.
I also got a rope drop, just me and two patrollers yesterday! Aw that was my best run of the season, still grinning from it.
Today I am so tired though, feel like a wimp.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Regarding masks... I've called a couple folks out in lift lines to pull their masks up. I start with "Hey bro... can you do me a favor?" and generally, bro is like "Yeah buddy what's up?" So I do a quick little, "Hey man, I really like skiing. And I'd like this place to stay open all season... so can you pull your mask up? Rules are rules, man... and they'll shut 'er down if we don't follow 'em. Like I said, I wanna ski all year." And everytime I've done it, the people were cool about it.

4 was $$ this morning
I caught the first chair of the season:
Here is the same photo going up for my second lap (the track is mine)
The place was empty. So thankful they didn't announce on social media first.
~6-inches on a slab under the lift, but the best turns to be had were in sunburst chutes, which was DEEP.
