La Paz makes Seattle look flat it is like 2000 feet from the edge of the city to the center.

Slammed with meetings tomorrow, but hoping to get up Thursday or Friday. Looks like they are projecting 12/22 as opening for Alpental and Saturday for Center. Night skiing starts next week at both West and Central but not Alpental. Probably safer that way, but really looking forward to some Alpy under the lights.Quote:

Going to skin a bit then ride the chairs until 11 or so. Black/pink Loveland beanie and blue jacket. I’d be stoked to meet some folks to get a lay of the land.
I'm buried with family stuff and no car until next week.
Where you getting this info?Quote:

Hopefully we get back to a 10pm close at Alpental again after the 9pm close last year. I definitely missed the extra hour. My guess is that it's gone for good, though.Quote:

I know. I love it and now I generally get to call it a day around 3pm. The best part about 9-10 was how empty it would be. If it was snowing, you'd have fresh refills every run with little competition. I noticed my kids would start getting a little more ambitious with jumps, etc. with less people around. It was the best. Looking forward to some night time laps together this year!Quote:

I'm stoked for nights as well.
In addition to the occasional solo night raid, I plan to have my daughter in tow most Wednesday evenings.
Ugh, I guess that's what I get for not switching months. I'm glad you are smarter than me. [emoji28] Stoked we are back to 10pm! Will be looking for kooks and don't be shy. I got a "change for a nickel" sticker on the back of my helmet and no one has ever asked for change...Quote:

Hey Phatty. My son is 13, almost 14. Let's plan a time down the road to connect with your youngest. (A win\win. Dads meet, and hopefully, my son progresses!)Quote:
