no better than any of the other options on i70. copper is boring. the 'expert' terrain is a joke. and if the tree skiing you are referring to is the union meadows area, its flat and is a shitload of run-out. looks like they put in a new chairlift that serves steeps since i have been there (three bears). maybe that make it less boring. but its boring.
No. It's been awhile for sure but there is a bunch of stuff kind of not down the front that is not flat and is a good long ride. Like anywhere, Copper is a ton of fun with fresh Colorado blower pow.
My favorite area out there terrain-wise is actually Breck.

Yes, I believe that. I now remember we did stay there back in the day. Thanks!
Yeah I've skied all those hills, except Keystone and Beaver Creek at least 4 or 5 days at each over the years. First time at Copper you had to hike to get to the top. Lot of hiking at Breck too. Did a lot of heavy breathing up there.
I like Arapahoe at lot. I can admit though that I get tired of the steepness and prefer some more, uhmm, bluer terrain. I love Vail too... just too damn crowded. Same at Breckenridge so I hear. Haven't skied Summit county in about 15 years though.

I'm a bit of a stickler for details, so things like that tend to bother me as well. I didn't get out today, but my dad made it up here and finally took his first turns of the season this morning. He reported that both Waterfall and Sleeper Chutes were groomed this morning, but neither were marked as such on the report. Just goes to show that there continues to be a number of little mistakes being made in the report on a somewhat regular basis this year.
Heard from a patroller at north today while riding the lift that the plan supposedly is to replace 4 lifts in the next 3 or 4 years. They'll do 2 lifts per year, but not starting until the year after this one. So supposedly nothing new this summer going in.

If permits can be obtained (and that is a BIG if) major dollars slated for employee housing next year.
Probable equivalent to one ore two new lifts
Yea...that housing project won't be cheap for sure.
And on another unrelated note...enjoyed a final meal at Peasant last night before they close...definitely going to miss that place. I've been there more times than any other restaurant either in VT or back home in NJ by a mile...
Heavens Gate, NRX, GMX and Bravo?
He wasn't 100% sure, but those are the ones he thought it was. Makes sense if it was those 4 planned for replacement in the not too distant future.
Wow, that’s impressive if it is in fact the plan. Pretty much all the major arteries.

No it is definately the Bridges. I was staying in that exact block when I got engaged in 1994. No kidding. Good one Bill.

I heard that they are waiting on the acutal quote to be finalized and then they can lauch. 24 most likely as it is too late for this summer. Good intel CD. Lets hope it all gets done. That would be awesome.
