    Snowmass - Best Time of Day for Cirque/ Hanging Valley (2/9)

    Pajarito-Bred - Awesome information. I've printed this out and I'm taking it with me. You have to realize that I come from the East, so that means I'm used to lift lines and tracked out trails under most circumstances. Sure I know where to hide out in the woods to find the freshy several...

    Snowmass - Best Time of Day for Cirque/ Hanging Valley (2/9)

    Yeah, lots of questions for sure. But if I can figure this all out *before* I get there, rather than after we arrive, I'll save a bunch of precious time. I had already printed out the map and started marking it up, etc -- so I am past that point ;0 I also have the 'mountain dissected' page...

    Snowmass - Best Time of Day for Cirque/ Hanging Valley (2/9)

    One other question I forgot to ask... in my previous post, it was mentioned that Sheer Bliss is 'never open'. Does that mean it's rarely open due to weather / wind hold.. or that it's literally never open? Are there signs where lifts load that show lift status throughout the mountain? Thanks

    Snowmass - Best Time of Day for Cirque/ Hanging Valley (2/9)

    Still working on my Colorado game plan. The short term forecast looks good for a bunch more snow, and the long term looks like we'll be arriving around the time the smoke clears, so our drive on the 8th from Denver should be uneventful. Thanks again for everyones assistance in my previous...

    Colorado - Feb 9-12 - Where To Ride?

    ChrisC - Thanks for the info. You swayed us -- we've decided to stay at Snowmass instead of Basalt. It was a bit pricier per person for the 3 nights, but it will make our first morning easy, and we'll get our bearings in the area after our first day of riding. We'll shuttle over to...

    Colorado - Feb 9-12 - Where To Ride?

    Your line of thinking coiincides with mine Tony. When I go out west, I'm looking to track down stuff that is near impossible to find around my home driving / riding area. I'm generally used to driving 4+ hours round-trip on day trips since I live in northern CT -- so I'm fairly used to...

    Colorado - Feb 9-12 - Where To Ride?

    Tony - Thanks for the info. I clearly got the Silverton location mixed up there... I was going from memory, and had thought it was near CB. Whoops ;0 In any event, I am less worried about the altitude, which hasn't ever caused either of us any issues on previous trips to similar height...

    Colorado - Feb 9-12 - Where To Ride?

    Uggh... just made a post and the board ate it. I'll try to remember what I said ;0 First off, thanks for the information -- I'll definitely take into consideration what you guys have mentioned. I took a look at Independence Bowl at Keystone b/c of it's proximity to Dillon, and it looks kind...

    Colorado - Feb 9-12 - Where To Ride?

    Hello all -- I'm a long time lurker here, and I was hoping for some assistance from board members regarding an upcoming CO trip. I have a trip booked for Colorado next month from the 8th through 13th, and my buddy and I will be flying into Denver. I'm trying to develop a game plan for the 4...
