Edelweiss Chair and beyond... Alpental , The valley and the rest of snocrummy

I can see just lapping that new chair as a nice fun alternative to chair 2, may help thin the line at least.

Yeah, in a vacumn it makes total sense and is a great idea. Im sure they have thought this through much more than i have (and i also cant change a damn thing) so ill trust/hope it all works out well. The nice thing about alpental is that adding uphill capacity doesnt change the capacity of the mountain which is limited by the already at-capacity parking, so i really do think this will allow me to get in more laps on crowded weekends.

I wonder if there will be a return track put in from rockface area back to the bottom of the international chair so you can lap egate with 1 chair ride. Is that even possible?

Not sure but if there is a will there’s a way. Would be nice to avoid that thigh burning mank down low on those warm powder days.

You guys are either on crack or haven't spent very much time out the egate. Lap Snake dance all you want but there is no way to get from Rockface to the top of 3 without blasting the cliff band on the right side of Rockface into oblivion.

[AK47bp]

Yea. I never thought much about it. Snake Dance, Lower international and Felsen laps it is.

I'm really looking forward to the egg carton moguls on Elevator strewn with newbs who have no business being there.

They're already there. E gate has been a highway the past two years

I am still in shock at photo evidence of Alpental making capital improvements. Is this real life?

just a heads up that you can save yourself the hassle later and "buy" your backbowls pass now

That whole system is such a joke and everyone knows it. The clueless idiots stream out there daily.

“Back Bowls” wtf.

It’s like advertising people to come experience our “wide open bowls of untouched powder!!” Then they get out there and are cliffed out over a waterfall immediately.

There are some "bowls" out there, but once you ski the open stuff, you quickly get into some of the hairiest stuff available.

My first time out there I went with a friend who was also going for his first time. We decided to follow some tracks. Next thing we know, we're on top of a 30ft cliff with the tracks going off. We had to hike back up in 12" of pow. We get up higher and follow some other tracks and end up in the same situation. Only on the 3rd attempt did we find a way down. I worry we're going to see a lot more of that with the new lift. I always wondered who was sending off those huge cliffs. Then I met SVS and figured it out.

Pretty much my exact experience first time out there.

When getting cliffed out, make your own tracks to do it. Be a man.

After being broken enough times, I don't make those tracks anymore. I'll leave that to my kids. I'm OK with that.

Don't be like this guy
