loveland 4/30

Only four more days left at LL! Finally we have a nice corn cycle that I've been waiting for.
I decided to bring the camera along for once and took a few scenics. The mtn. was empty and I started off with groomers, progressed into some bumps and finally into the trees. The best stuff was probably the trees off of chair 4. Noone ever seems to go in there, it is a nice spot on a powder day and many days thereafter. Looks like next week I will have to earn my turns or sack up and buy a ticket at A-basin. I need to get back to work soon so my time is becoming limited anyways.

I'm so glad I took a chance and got the LL pass this year. I thought it would be a good supplement to the copper/wp/steamboat pass but I spent easily the most time here-like 70 days. It is the only hill along the i-70 corrider with soul. There are several cabins on the mtn. for you to cook lunch, drink your own beer, or even 420. Mad steezy yo! o.k. I'll agree a-basin has soul but they are linked too closely to Vail resorts for my liking, also mary jane on a weekday while its snowing is pretty fun too! Many times I would see traffic backed up on i-70 going to summit county and vail while I just skied onto an empty chair.

Some pics-I suck with a camera but here goes nothing.

Nice pics and report. I've only skied there once, but I really liked it alot and would like to go back someday.

Thanks for the nice pics. I was there last year at this time and loved it. Only bad thing is that it takes some getting used to the chairlifts without safety bars. We Easterners get a little freaked out about this.

Skied there in Decemebr and really liked it. Will be going back next year.
