Sweet a new gondi just like the gondi that is already there.

Unofficial WP: The Zepher is going in the garage because it is...garbage...to be replaced with another Poma which will most likely be...garbage.

But is doesn't matter because nobody will ride it because everyone hates parking at the Park Side. #bringbackthebusloop.

Is there another ski resort where the "free parking" involves waiting for a bus, getting on a lift, then a 10 minute walk? #poachthewillieshuttle

I can deal with the bus and even the lift but it annoys me to no end that every resort makes you walk through their stupid fucking village to get on the chairlift.

anyone familiar with spring touring options near fort collins? (rmnp, indian peaks,?)

have an opportunity to get out that way in early may and hoping to find something worth skiing not TOO far from ftco. any advice on where to look?

You'll find lots of what you're looking for here: https://www.frontrangeskimo.com/

Stuff off Cameron in the closest. RMNP and Indian Peaks not much farther. Tons of option depending on how rad you're looking to get.

Let me know the next time you are there. I will "show you how to wank!".

Good to know. Only one DH trail at Wanker (Boulevard) passes under the Zephyr so perhaps that would help. I could see the service roads being a bigger issue.

From Facebook:

Zephyr is out of commission all summer and they will be putting bikes/riders up Gemini, roll down to Eskimo lift and then lift up Eskimo to the top. I asked them if they would reduce pricing because those lifts will take 30%+ longer and they only hold 2 bikes so the lift lines would increase.....they said "it would be considered in pricing discussions"

Teh sux

I'm not expert on wanking but I usually aim for C lot. I like the idea of riding wagons through the village though.

I wonder if the 3-bike chairs from the Zephyr can be fitted onto the Gemini and Eskimo. They're all Pomas from the 90s so maybe?

13 Miles and that's the best pic you got? Sounds like something I would do.

dude, it's the gore, you're not allowed to post anything about the gore's that could possibly reveal your location or you subject to flogging, or maybe it was stormy and cloudy all day, so I couldn't see jack squat for the entire day.

Skied WP yesterday. Drove into the MJ lower lot around 10:45, parked right at the south end of the lot, and was at the lift in less than 2 minutes.

Ski-on lift all day, except for one ride up Pano and one ride up Super Gauge.

Midweek seems to still be fine.

Oh - 1h15m each way door-to-door.

monday-wednesday with terrible conditions are usually smooth sailing.

You know... the conditions weren't even that bad. Of course, I'm comparing them to the previous trip to WP, which was the week after New Years.

Didn't you get the memo, there's no more good skiing available in Colorado.

It appears the Texans have found ABasin. Big crowds down low. Empty Pali of course. And amazing new terrain. Really sick.

Check out any of the steep gullies?

Let me know if you want to meet up for a tour. I might have some free time if it's not too early in May.

Speaking of radios, comms, etc...

Had a rescue in our district a few weeks ago. Turned into an epic long day near Rollin's Pass...

#4. Excellent once you get in. Also loving the Beavers. Kind of wish they’d leave it as is and no lift next year.
