sibhusky Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 View from top of the Swift Current chair across to the other peak: Views of the bowl below Lone Peak: Views looking up to the trails serviced by the Ramcharger chair: View of Lone Peak. A tram runs up to the peak. Quote
sibhusky Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Posted January 26, 2005 Views from the tram. I did NOT ski down from here as the signs said that they guaranteed you would damage your skis on the rocks and I was already pretty damaged from the "groomed" trails. Also you weren't allowed to take your skis off in those sections as it "made it worse": Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 that place has the most vert in the US. A heard the tram ride alone is worth the trip. Any pics from the top? [edit] ah ok, you posted them while i posted my message Quote
sibhusky Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Posted January 26, 2005 View down the bowl below the Shedhorn lift. Across the way is the private Yellowstone Club. View of the Challenger lift. I came down this and it looks a lot steeper when you are on it than it does from below, let me tell you. This is looking pretty much straight up the way I came down. Looking toward the Lone Peak bowl area: Quote

[edit] ah ok, you posted them while i posted my message <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't judge a place as having the "most vert" based on their advertising. What counts is how much vert you can do in a single run. Right now, you can't do their trail with the most vertical as the trails just aren't open. We are having a heat wave here and my skis are in extreme need of some hospital care after being at this place. ROCK CITY!!! Quote

ole2planker Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 Nice photos, Sib. Thanks for posting them. The snow conditions are such a shame, however. The rocks looked threatening! Quote
