last year i did the vail one Abasin,keystone,breck,and ten days at vail,beaver creek...im only off work midweeks so the croud thing isnt an issue...i go at minimum once a week...the problem is vail is too far away so i wont opt for that again, besides its a big beginner hill...breck is either flat or windblown and besides i got to park in bfe and a beer is 10bucks...keystone iss ok especially when going with less experianced people...a basin is too small and hard to get to on powpow days even though i do like how the only ammenities is food and a bar...copper seems to be the same pitch everywhere...why cant taos ski valley be closer...i want terrain...help...anyone know how much for the loveland pass???will i get bored with the mountain???if only there was a abaisin,loveland,winterpark pass...that be cool...that be some odd buisness amoung competetors though...by the way ive always have had fun at monarch its just that salida is already 3 hours for me in the summer...i will of course go to taos a few times this winter

I don't think I would call Vail a beginner hill, if you think so then you are skiing the wrong lines...it sounds like you already have problems with all the resorts near where you currently live., and from what you say, you won't like the slow lifts at Loveland or the fact that it is super cold and gets pounded by the wind...my solution - find a way to do your job from the internet, or transfer to Durango, and just ride Silverton. Or pony up for a snowmobile and ride the backcountry...or if your motivated do it by skins. Thats where you will find the best conditions and terrain anyway.
Parking Lot is full, but there's NO LIFT LINE! (&On a pow-day!)?! WHat's up?? Simple: Gotta be Loveland!... I lived in Summit county for 6 years skiing all the biggies there: Copper the 1st 4 yrs (w/ABasin pass for late season spring skiing), then worked Keystone a season & w/all the perks (Vail-BC-Breck) I still skied more & more at Loveland -espc my days off to avoid the hoards of wanna be skiers... End conclusion: I moved to Silver Plume (2 yrs ago) to be closer to Loveland as it has been my home mtn for 4 yrs now: It is a skiers & a locals mountain -outside of the money factor, which can't be beat- It has the terrain and the atmosphere of total EXTREME SKIING!!! I've skied all over Colorado, New Mexico and the Alps and Loveland will continue to be my home mtn; Give it a try -It'll grow on ya & you WON'T be disappointed!!
I have to agree with skin eater on the Vail, shtuff...when I go it is straight to Blue Sky for SB, steep and deep, and some fantastic tree runs, then slowly work my way back to the front. I have had a few 12"+ days there, and I don't think the runouts are any longer than anywhere else...especially if you take into account the big vertical...if only tickets were cheaper...that's ok - if you don't mind bringing your skins in-bounds - you can find the sickest "in-bounds" terrain in the state at Loveland - that's if you can stand the winds up top
thanks for backing me porkchop...that guy probly works at vail...im willing to knock some of the mountains that ive worked for...dont be so attatched....im feeling loveland
