I am going to get Loveland and the Five Mountain pass. This will be my first season in Colorado. I am flying out next week for 9 interviews. I hope I get a job! Will be moving Aug 28th. I am so pumped. Gonna show you boys how we ski bumps in the east! Then ask you the proper way to rip the Nickel:FIREdevil
In all seriousness, does Loveland have a shot (besides the bump fest at chair 1) that is more than 400 ft of sustained vert?
If you ski otr from top to the bottom is around 1500 ft.
I used to go by the rule; You gotta ride the same amount of chair time up vs. amount of turn time down. Then they invented Hi-speed chairs...Quote:

You are going to move to CO and ski bumps? :nonono2: ;)Quote:

G'day. You gave me a ride. I still have your number, so I'll call you when they're selling them.Quote:

Buy the A-Basin pass.
Or better yet buy the Vail pass.
And besides there are no Cougars at Loveland..........
Sweet, please do!:rolleyes: Can't wait to rip some bumps with you bro.Quote:

I'm sooooooo busy, I shouldn't even be posting, but somebody should check the vert from the top of marmot turds down to the highway. I think that'd be the longest line.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha.Quote:

Well, from 13,010' on the ridge to the parking lot would be 2,190' vertical.Quote:
