After over a decade of planning, we’ve received official approval from the US Forest Service to begin the expansion into No Name!
The project will add 377 acres of new terrain primarily for intermediate to advanced skiers.
This summer, we’ll be aiming to build the access road, extend the powerline, and begin cutting runs. The 3-person 2,700-feet-long fixed grip lift, warming hut and restroom facility construction will begin in the summer of 2025.
LET’S GO!!!!
Fixed grip triple, I'll take it. Because...Quote:

Gonna be noticably flatter that the sinf side...
New runs are mostly cut in. Lots of roadwork and infrastructure. Gonna be some fine glade skiing.

Yeah I thought the same RE: the run that still needs to be cut in. Any idea when they intend on getting the lift in there? I'm assuming that's *not* a 24-25 season thing, but there's still a pile of decent weather weeks left and they are moving quickly it seems so who knows.Quote:

I'll have to get at least a couple jelly on the sidecountry laps in there this season. I blame whipski for not having done that yet. :wink: :DQuote:
The electric feed will be extended over to the new lift terminal next summer as the lift is being built.
Play your cards right and I'll show where the backcountry gate is
I will stack the deck for that! :FIREdevilQuote:

Good rumor…..
Do they open the whole mountain since they're natty?
Doubt they'll get Mirkwood open. Recon on skins in a bit.
No dice for opening this week, and not a lot of snow in the Fx over the next week or so. Maybe they'll plow the parking lot and dump all that snow up on the hill somewhere...

I have a slope side condo in Aspen.
Skico doesn't want our snow from the parking lot, because it's contaminated. But they'll take the snow we shovel off the roof.
The website says please use the stairs for uphill travel and avoid the area between the lodge and patrol as they're farming snow for the base area from the lots. Tomer is predicting a foot from the cycle next week.
Opening Day this Friday, 11/22. FKNA!

I'll be at wolf Creek Mon-thur. 2 feet. Get some. Say hi.
Probably the worst first day at Monarch I've had in the last 4 seasons... but also because it's the first time I've gone on opening day ever. I usually wait until December. All said, bluebird skies, a few soft turns to be found, some mach chicken groomies, I'll take it. Now to do a hot lap on the local mountain bike trails in town this afternoon.
I probably won't make it, but you never know. Working M-W, then T-gives in Gunni at my sister-in-law's casa.Quote:

Come watch me flail in 30" this week -out of shape washed up
There's free hot springs in Pagosa right on the river. There's also cheap options at Overlook and Healing Waters. I may be able to hook you up at Overlook since Junior works there. I'll ask when she gets home later today.
Would love to ski with yop at Wolfy, but I ain't giving those cocksuckers a fucking dime this season.
Lol thx bruv
You should show us on the doll where the Woof touched you. :DQuote:
