Well, this thread confirms what I suspected. New lift = pounder magnet. Maybe the Pali line will shrink again. Like my ball sack when I'm in deep pow some place other than Half-ass County. Nice 6 today. What were the calling for 18? Standard Summit BS. Anyway back to my original rant... Why the fuck would you want to ski from Zuma to the Keystone Bowls?
Wait a minute...are you the guy that I saw at Keystone one day on Pontoons? You have to be.
EAD
^^^ You miss the 14 that fell up high?
I had easily 6 on my truck this morning before it really started to even snow hard (near berthoud at 10,400)
Is it me or are you still trying to sound cool?Quote:

I came out of Keystone one time and ended up there after a few hours. It was sort of downhill.Quote:

I think the more PC responce would be "flesh flower" .Quote:

How was the basin today folks?

Zuma access lift :confused: Beaters can't walk 40 yards? Geezus.
Interested to see how often they actually open the gullies.
Seriously, that's lame.
It will be interesting to see about the gullies. I'm assuming as much as the East Wall is open?
I don't see a stop on the Loveland - Breckenridge interconnect gondola?
So, is this ever going to happen, whatever it is?
Yes should happen within a couple years - this thread was about the Zuma bowl expansion back in 2008Quote:

Have yo ever worked with the USFS? 5 years is nuthin. I've been in meetings for seven years now for our trail system proposal/forest revision plan and we still can't get the NEPA studies finished.Quote:

Kinda bummed about the Pali replacement. Love the old school lift.
I'd be a little more bummed about the Norway lift going away. Takes a lot of pressure of the Lanawee on busy days. Hello, lines out of the corral.

That's true too. That's a good backup lift on weekends.Quote:

I was hoping for a faster Lenawee.
I'm sure they are counting on the Beavers lift to take pressure of Lenawee.
6 pack with bubble shields on Pali! :fmicon:
Old Yan probably too expensive to maintain at this point.Quote:

FWIW, I can only find two accidents where someone was killed in an avalanche in the Beavers or Steep Gullies, dating back to the 96/97 season.Quote:

I will agree that is "too many" but it's not like people are dying in mass over there.

The 2012 master plan at Arapahoe Basin asked to grow inside its special-use boundary, which zones both the Beavers and Steep Gullies for lift-served skiing. The ski area wants to mitigate avalanche danger in the region, where six skiers have died in avalanches since 1982.
^^^ good to know, the other accidents must be between 1982 and 96/97. CAIC only has accident reports going back to 96/97 published online.
Bro, this is TGR, we expect you to go search some old laser fishe to find this out.Quote:

I'll look through my snowy torrents collection when I get back to the statesQuote:

I thought all fatal accidents were listed but I could be wrong?
They definitely don't list all incidents where someone was caught, even when they are reported.
