COLORADO: Which mtns still have MTB lift service?
Flying into Denver next week and plan on renting a bike and riding some resorts. Which mountains still have lifts open servicing mountain bikes?

I don't know about Colorado. Angel fire is still open weekends. Leaves should be peaking next week.

Pretty sure they are all closed.
You could probably rent an EBike and lap some resort trails with it. You'd be all alone.
I'm still shocked that no-one has figured out how to throw a lift up on the FR somewhere and build some trails that could be open most of the year. DH MTB is kind of a struggling industry out west where everyone pedals uphill.

There is a bike park being build in Conifer.
As for OP’s question : nothing open. Maybe try to shuttle stuff? You
might be able to find a company still doing Monarch Creast (foose and greens have minimal pedaling) or… just pedal it’s a beautiful time of year to ride.

It's currently legal to ride an Ebike up Aspen Mountain, via the Summer Road, which is actually a county road.
But the Skico doesn't currently allow them on any trails.
I'd like to see them allow them on Scotties/Power of 4 and Conga Line on Highlands.
Nobody rides these trails, because they're just too hard to get too.

We've pedaled non-bikes up Keystone a bunch over the years, while they were opened and while they were closed. Never caught any flak for it. Kinda surprised more people don't do it actually. It's comparable to some of the more popular big rides in the area like Lenawee and Westridge, but with way more options and fun, purpose built trails and with a capable E-bike, it would be a blast.

south boundary shuttle still running. Have not ridden Foose or Greens but thought SBT was more fun than Silver or Starvation. couple of days at Angel Fire and SBT would be 3 good days or riding.

The gondola at Telluride will be running till the 17th or so. Not exactly what you're talking about but you can ride lots of fun trails off the gondy.
edit: It's also free. But you should go to Angel Fire, Angel fire is sick

When people loose their mind, is it hard to tighten?

Only if they go left instead of right. Unless they are left handed, of course.
