You ever hit loveland pass? Always had fun there. You can check out hidden valley near Estes, long hike but worth it.Glad you made it Bud.
I'm in Park City right now, but I do most of my skiing in and around Breck.
Hidden Valley Ski Area is now closed. The lifts have been removed. What is left are fantastic runs for the backcountry enthusiasts.
Rocky Mountain National Park has a visitor center and just past the visitor center is where you will need to pay an entrance fee. To see current park entrance fees, please see RMNP Entrance Fees.
Hidden Valley ski area opened in 1955 and closed as a ski area in 1991. The lower area of the valley, below Trail Ridge Road is great for beginner and intermediate skiers/boarders. Above Trail Ridge road is where you find the expert runs. Trail Ridge Road is closed in the winter from roughly November to May or June.
It seems the storms are going north and south of summit county this year. But Utah always gets puked on by the snow gods.
I am coming to CO for just the opposite reasons. 1#To grow the finest I can, legally. 2# To make big turns in tight steep trees.
I had to give up some of the things I loved most for some security and family. No regrets. But, I can't wait to be back in the west.
I used to be a DH racer/rider and did a ten year tour of the west. But then it was back to the South for a while. I had to completely give up the boards. A week a year would just be torture on my soul.
But next winter is mine and I can't wait.
I am pissed that I was in a meeting and missed Rez's latest drop.
I checked going in and coming out.
Anyway I am planning on a run of 20 5gals in a coco mix. I was hoping for sssd but I guess I will run with some of the seed I have on hand; Fucking incredible,lsd, light of Jah and romulan.
Make some big turns for me
Thanks
