Cindy Kleh Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 yeah i just went and looked. I guess I just got tired of breck, AND the drive, why didnt they make that Ski train on I-70????But I havent been to any place yet, that well... is like the commercials... you know... I see ads and videos and im like "where is that???" I thought berthoud was closed?? it boggles my mind how vail can be rated #1 I-70 to exit 232, Highway 40. You can jump off almost anywhere and end up on the highway again. (Although I've had to swim out of there in arm-pit deep snow a few times.)

Cindy Kleh Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 That was a rating by Ski Magazine. In Transworld SnowBoarding, Vail came in 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Kleh Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 My favorite person to thumb Berthoud with is my friend, Evelyn. She's a 25-yr-old Mexican hottie. Sometimes we don't even get our boards off and we have a ride. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I agree with you on that one Cindy. Sometimes when my friends and I ski Independence Pass in the spring, we have to hitch back up. And there is a significant difference in time when you have cute women with you, as opposed to the usual ragtag crowd I ski with. We always let the women do the thumbing.

ak_rider Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 i would say where are you going to go to the most. i think most people buy the colorado pass because you get 5 mountains, but in reality most people only go to like 1 or 2. if you plan on going to a vail resort mostly get the CO pass. if you're over the hype of vail resorts go with a third choice, how about the loveland pass, under $300, no crowds(comparatively) and good terrain w/out the hype of nearby resorts and a long season. mid-week passes there are less than $200. -Cindy-where in WP do you live? I'm moving to granby tomorrow, and am all about the backcountry, although i'm no mexican hottie-most people think i'm a guy when i'm in full sb gear. but i manage to get rides at loveland pass w/out problems.

big mario Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Do you hate crowds and traffic as much as I do? I do not have the option of riding during the week, so I get up reaalllllly early and try to get to morrison before 6:15. This puts me at my favorite resort way before most of the gapers and jibbers are thinking of getting out of bed, and as a consequence, very little traffic, and I usually get on one of the first 20 chairs. No crowds. No liftlines and open runs. I was able to get in 10,000 vertical before 9:30 this morning, thusly, I was finished early enough to avoid the teeming masses that have finally gotten it togther and now are overrunning the slopes. Out of the parking lot and down the hill early enough so I barely had to hit the brakes(read no traffic). All of the pass deals we are fortunate to have out here sholud make it a no brainer, and with lift tickets as cheap as they are right now and for the next month, you can do plenty of on slope reseach to figure out where you want to go. Go early, ride hard, and have fun. mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yeah I dont go to bed as early as id like (2am) so getting up really early doesnt work for me all that well. Besides I always ride till the lifts close anyway. I dont get it, Morrison?? whats close to there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 after 6:30 am when the season really gets going. bumper to bumper all the way to the tunnel. just a bench mark mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveBomber Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 im still not sure, I think im going to hit loveland a lot more this year. But inthat case i wonder if i will even want to bother with the colorado pass (and shell out $420) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
