If its elevation was higher it would be too windy! It's too windy anyway.

Regarding Hawk's security concerns, PBS News Hour had a story Monday (?) night; I don't recall the name of the technology but it might have been Strava. A security expert was able to look up US overseas military bases and get traces of where soldiers had been jogging, presumably, around and...

13,000 can't be right though. Cable length? Excuse me, I see this was corrected to 6,500 feet in the original.

I've only skied Belleayre on weekends and have seen significant lines on the Superchief and Tomahawk. I'm not sure that the day there were lines on Tomahawk wasn't because Superchief was out of service. I remember being annoyed that skiers lining up for Tomahawk were very bad about filling all...

All accounts I've seen stated that one of the soldiers was killed.

Good luck getting volunteers!

How was the new trail below the bridge, back to the gondola? Pretty flat? I'd be disappointed if Dot Nebel and such trails were open but the Tomahawk chair wasn't running and I had to ski down to the gondola.

Just checked the Belleayre webcam and the gondola is running, though slower than normal. I didn't see anyone skiing. All this week it looked like they were sending gondola cars up empty.

Right Jim, I've only parked at Discovery once, when the Overlook lot was full and I had to turn around. The lodge was a zoo - I only went inside to pee and it took me several minutes to get to the restroom, shuffling past the crowd lining up for rentals!

Slight problem with using the gondola as an access lift from the Discovery base: it's not very convenient for beginners and lower intermediates to get to the east side of the mountain and the Overlook Lodge. Only 2 choices: skate half a mile on the very, very flat Route 9 to the Roaring Brook...

BW's gondola will have about 100 feet more than the new gondola at Belleayre. http://www.belleayre.com/the-mountain/webcam-feed

Back around 1970 my brother and I went to Sugarloaf after a major ice storm. There were no internet condition updates in those days and we were hoping that Sugarloaf had got snow. Nope. When we got there the entire mountain was closed! They told us Saddleback had managed to open two trails, so...

Yeah, I can't imagine any improvement to Big Chief, unless it's for drainage. Mohawk, yes, could use some improvement to its fall lines.

Right, how can our snow instantly turn to frozen granular as it hits the ground?

There's still 1,000 vertical feet. But it looks like it will be steepish intermediate terrain.

Or, as an even better way to access Ridge, the Sundance trails and Carinthia,they could run the Sundance chair more often.

West Mountain, NY is widening and restoring a seldom-open expert trail, The Cure. Lots of photos on Facebook.

Wait a minute. Accelerating and decelerating to go from Denver to Vail in 9 minutes - How many g-forces is that? I get roughly 23 Gs? And you have to experience it twice, speeding up and slowing down. How many Gs were there in an Apollo rocket launch?

Might someone be holding that domain name hostage? In other words, this is so embarrassing, pay us money and we'll take it down.
