Guided skiing at Eldora? What has the world come to?

**hawkgt** · 01-19-2024, 04:34 PM

must be short trollers and need some mouth breathing meat to help try and keep whats up there from blowing off. 45" in last 7 days so something to save at least if not already gone and in ks by now.

West Ridge opens tomorrow. Today, patrol was bringing in groups of 10 to ski Salto to get it packed down some. There was a sign up sheet in the Carona patrol room with 4-5 times that they were leading people in. I got in twice and was signed up for a third when patrol called it. Boot to knee deep lines all the way down.

EWG showed up a little later and I also got a few runs in with him, which made the day even better.

**EWG** · 01-25-2024, 09:59 AM

Yeah, full props for volunteering. Good stuff.

**hawkgt** · 01-26-2024, 06:52 PM

Edit: actually was more fun than I remembered. But still short as hell.

**JerkPorkins** · 02-04-2024, 09:16 AM

"The 30-inch figure on our website is an estimate. The actual figure may be more. Shelf Road is currently impassable and we will not be able to open the resort for hours, if at all, today. Please do not attempt to travel to Eldora today. The County 6WD grader is currently working to clear multiple snow slides on Shelf Road. We will update you here if anything changes."

Heh.

I think tomorrow will be a good day to go skiing at eldora. They got fresh pow it said on the news.

I haven’t used these Rossignol bandit snow skis in some time. So you think there will be much of a line to buy tickets there? Should I use the websites? I was thinking of getting there around 8:45 so I could do a first chair.

This sounds like a good plan. But keep it on the down low. You don't want a whole bunch of gapers hearing about it and heading up.
