Bring your rape whistle just in case..there’s actually a mini cornice drop above a blue square bowl/run at copper. I got like 3.5 feet of air off it.

I drove about 20 miles on snow covered roads in a compact in October, and down the mountain from Echo Lake to Denver. It was fine but nothing was really deep.

You shoukd find someone out there to tag along with for a few runs and show you around if they are willing. 2 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 IDK. The thought of driving over Berthoud (if he goes that way) in a compact car is a bit unsettling, forecasted snow or not. Quote

It was fine but nothing was really deep. The drive from silverthorne to Keystone and from silverthorne to Copper are both pretty flat. I know you like mexican food. You can check this spot on on the way back from copper to silverthorne in Frisco. They gave me the VIP service. I ordered a cup of chicken tortilla soup and they gave me a bowl then they only charged me for a cup. http://www.friscohaciendareal.com/site/mobile?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.friscohaciendareal.com%2FMenu.html#2900 1 1 Quote

But may check out Winter Park or something else. I'd definitely prefer an SUV if I can get a reasonable price. Quote

Seems crazy to me I think it happens most with people in their 20s and early 30s. Some are bogged down with student loans, trying to buy a house, maybe little kids or don’t have a core group like we all have to encourage participation in the sport. I’m a skier it’s part of my identity and something I’ll always do as long as I can walk. Quote

Years ago he sold his ski gear..I think skiing was mainly something he did with his dad and when he moved to Colorado his attention went elsewhere. I haven’t seen Eugene in many years. I actually messaged chippy on Facebook awhile ago and told him to tell Eugene to come to Blue weekend mornings. Quote
