Ha! Thanks for clarifying fellas.
My 6yo is jonesing to get out , but not sure it’s the best idea to take him until more is open and it spreads out a bit. Some Jolly Jug rippers do sound great!
Would like to get him on snow one way or another next week. Might burn a day at LL, all condition dependent.
I've been checking the Eldora webcams regularly for weather conditions, etc., and, on the main mountain, I would expect only Windmill/International to be open on Friday. Until the last minor snowfall, everything there was mostly brown except for the bottom of International coming into the lift area.

Alpenglow. Hornblower and Int’l.
Surprisingly good. Better than what Winter Park had going on, yesterday.
something along those lines should be their slogan:
Eldora: surprisingly good!
Eldora: better than you expect!
Eldora: it's not windy all the time!
Not Always Shitty?Quote:

Anyway, I took the kid up for her first turns of the season and it was pretty iced over in one section. Back to shitty...
Unfortunately, another fatality at Eldora.

Ugh RIP :(
Sad. RIP. It was really icy in that narrow section of Windmill, last week.
Damn. RIP. Dude seemed to have shared a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport to lots of folks. Vibes to all affected, sorry [emoji20]

Very sad. I skied there the afternoon before, and Windmill had a few slick spots but was overall OK. The worst stretch in the afternoon was on International, below the traverse. Note that it was quite warm on Monday, so conditions got a bit spring-like early in the afternoon, so that might have led to more frozen conditions Tuesday morning, even with grooming.

Coffee at Salto is better [emoji12]Quote:

I may start bringing up some work, and kick it in West Wing after dropping my kid off. It was a ghost town in there.
And the staff is far more pleasant on the eyes.Quote:
