Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

Even with the CB news, I think there are a ton of people out there looking to alleviate the metering at the tunnel and are looking to go to WP, thus switching to Ikon.

Epic bitching on CBMR’s social media of course. It’s gold, Jerry. Gold.

Only short term locals and trustys will bitch about the influx of business to that town.

And complain about how the "character" of town will totally change. From, you know, like 3 years ago.

[fastfred]

Haha, nah, just givin ya hsit. No one goes there and it'd be nice if it stayed that way. We love parking over there and treating it like it's own little old school ski area, separate from everything else. One beer/bowl per lift ride.

ha ha and twenty five minutes later you might be at the top

it would be bonus if there was a mid way station, then everyone would be doing a chair

I don’t either. There have been 2 for 1 gas coupons to ski there for years so it’s not like it’s been expensive.

All these people bitching about how VR will ruin the town. How exactly? And how they’d be better on Ikon. Why? Ikon is Epic but different mountains.

Hopefully these two passes will spread out the CO skiing crowd (local and tourist) and everyone will benefit from it.

Does your epic pass get summer benefits at CB like mountain bike haul? That would be great for this summer.

Lunch beers...

I'm eagerly awaiting to see what Epic Summer offers... looking for that Keystone/Whistler/Vail/CB combo bike pass.

[Ireallyliketoski2]

Even with the 2 for 1 tickets it has been affordable for a while. However,
Since I’ve bought an epic pass I haven’t been down there, now that it is on the pass I will go there for sure. So there will be an uptick for sure, which is a good thing for me because they means keystone will be less crowded!

*Not weather related*
But when are we ever actually talking about weather here. [/url]

A recent snotel reading around here measured 10" water equivalent. 16"WE is the 30 year average for this time, '12 had 12"WE.

Do you really want to talk about weather?
Fuck.

Too bad they don't have any good ones IN CO.

Aspen Snowmass, Copper, Steamboat > all epic mountains in CO besides the Beav.

I’m not an Eldora or WP fan, but I see the value of having those for lots of front rangers.

Outside of CO add in three day weekend capability for Jackson, Alta Bird, and extended trips for Big Sky.

Do a week in Tahoe. Ski with family when I head back to New England. All things I’m excited about for the Ikon.

Lastly, add in cheap kids passes when I buy my personal one and I can drag the kids to more places for less money.

I’ve been Loveland only for the last 4 years, though after a long time with the Epic hoard so I’m a little predisposed at hating on Vail to be honest with myself.

Yeah, everyone has a different POV on what mtns are best depending on their own situation. I was just giving you hard time.

I live 10 mins from A-basin, and I have a condo in Avon, family near CB, and friends near mountains in UT. I have 0 interest in most of the Epic mountains in CO. I got the MC this year and admittedly have underused it so far because of the shitty snow year. I'd love to go back to Jackson and add in Big Sky next year. BUT I could also go to Fernie or Whistler. Hakuba if I convince the wife to put off having kids... long story.

I can't always travel for long periods during the winter, but I can sure as hell get 50 days in at the Basin, everything else is gravy.

There's an awful lot of people whining about how CB should have chosen Ikon (seems fairly obvious to me that as a destination resort they needed to choose one or the other or lose a LOT of business). I don't get it. Is it because a) they are buying the Ikon pass and want CB on it, b) they think Vail is the evil empire and Alterra is better (or unknown), or c) ???

Probably c) IKON will sell 1/2 as many passes to Front Rangers.

And if those people want to escape front range crowds they would have multiple options a similar distance away as CB incl Aspen and Steamboat which are more attractive to a lot of skiers. To say nothing of SLC or Jackson.

That's TGR in a nutshell.
