I mean... I'd been skiing Colorado since '93/'94 so the 96's WERE fat skis... :DQuote:

Ajax & Highlands also have some *really* nice evergreen glades. Ajax has some really nice aspen glades as well.Quote:

Tree skiing is why I love Mary Jane so much.
Yep...we got trees and bumps in the trees!Quote:

Tree skiing in Steamboat's not too bad.Quote:

Plus Taos' lodgepole pines are sweet and steep.

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:
