This mountain has more of an Eastern feel than the others in the area. No big bowls or large open areas. With that said it is a great ski area. Plenty of fast lifts and steep terrain which is perfect for a Spring skiing day like today was. The base is built up with all the usual high end shops, condos, etc. This means it takes a bus and a series of escalators to get to the lifts. Yes, I said escalators. It is about 2000 feet lower than Breckenridge so warmer and definitely full Spring today. Today was SUNNY. Blue sky and maybe 45-50 at the peak of the day. Bump runs got very nice. My favorite run today was Golden Eagle. This was an Olympic run when they had the Olympics here. When I got to it the snow was great.
One down side of this mountain is it is 40 miles away on I70. I am not a fan of I70. This AM a car coming from the other lanes crashed into something significant and ended up in the two lanes on the side I was driving on. The car was destroyed. Maybe passed through a jersey barrier? It wasn't much of a delay except for the person in the accident.
