[Wildman]

Anyone skiing tomorrow? Thinking about first chair somewhere

[hawkgt]

[EWG]

I'm going up tomorrow afternoon. I'm a maybe on Sunday. 30% chance. Might also be able to come up right at the end like at 2pm.

In for the Tailgate closederfuck aka “closing Real” aka “Real closing.” Looks like sunny with a small possibility of overnight snowfall.

Wish I could make it but I have to go to something like 6 little league games and 37 dinner parties this weekend.

[Danno]

Even if every vol voted against the union it still would pass by a large majority.

I’ll Be in Vegas for the Sphere. Was there for fake closing. Good times. Party on!

[JerkPorkins]

They're setting up for a pond skim at the base next to Alpenglow.

I also found another shack, today. I'd show you a picture but this website won't let me upload from my phone, today.

few laps in with mags and non mags, pond skim is back and good show. Good closer in the sun, could not have requested better weather

[Danno]

Didn't ski with any of the clusterfuck until closing day, which is kinda funny.

Thanks for the brats!

Good soft turns all over the mountain. Gully Glades were fun.

I have a nickel to contribute. Eldora has changed so much over these last 30 years. I hope whoever buys it continues the uphill access program and maybe takes better care of the cross-country trails.

Eek! Just please not Vail. I think I speak for most everyone

No kidding. JFC.
Someone local do a capital raise and buy it.

[wolfelot]

Hmmmmm whose name is in the hat for this?

[Danno]

Group buy? I'm in for $37.

[stapes]

Ditto.

Curious to see how this plays out for sure.

And turns down the awful techno at the base

[Elkhound Odin]

How much do they want? Might use my lottery winnings.

If they could add night skiing and summer mountain biking, I’d think they’d kill it.

If they could add night skiing and summer mountain biking, I’d think they’d kill it.

On the mountain biking front, they would absolutely crush it if they built a bike park (assuming they didn't fuck it up, which is a big assumption, because Eldora). The things that holds them back as a ski mountain -- terrain and weather and vertical -- would not be problem for a bike park. I have been told that the reason they don't is because much of the base area is leased and the property owners don't want it?

As for lighting, I think they should light a few kilometers of the nordic center. There are so many hardcore athletes in Boulder that might pay for a season pass if they could get their skate/kick-and-glide on after work. But I'm not sure lighting the alpine trails would do much for them. Are there really people who don't have a season pass now that would buy one if they had Alpenglow running and some cruisers lit? I doubt it. And as someone who has stood out there watching my daughter train on Chute under the lights until 630pm, I cannot imaging how fucking cold it would be to ride Alpenglow even later than that.
