Colorado

How much is the copper/wp pass?  I need some more consistent riding buddies for next season.  All the people who wanted me to get the CO pass pulled the "I don't ride on weekends" shit on me all winter.  It got old riding by myself.  I need to ride with people because it pushes me to become a better rider.

You could always open a College Checking Acct from Wells Fargo and get the 2 for 1 discount to Copper/WP.  You have to have a student ID when you go to the Pass Wagon, but other than that...it's quite easy to do.

hmm $400 for the copper/wp or $420 for the a basin/breck/keystone + 10days at vail/beaver creek.  Seems like the CO pass is the better deal.  We are definitely getting the same pass though.  We have some time to figure it out.  Maybe if I start saving now and we can get the 2for1 hook up on the copper pass I can get both.

Yeah quality over quantity definitely makes sense.  I am down for either pass too.

Here's a vid from Winterpark.  I've done this line tons.  It's typically untracked like in this vid, well at least until I get to it...

tree runs at winterpark are definitely some of the best.  Although panoramic is damn cold.  It's worth it.  Traffic is a lot better.  But I leave really early in the morning.  I am usually at the mountains by 730

Bru - I will probably do the WP/Copper next season as well cause I have several friends still in college who get the 2fer1.  I actually plan on staying up over night more next season.  This season I got into women trouble so I wasn't able to ride as much as I wanted. 

My goal is around 30 days next season.  I am sitting around 20-25 this season.  I also want to make a trip to Whistler for a few days and the WP/Copper gets half off up there.  I have little experience with Breck and I have never been to Keystone, so I do not know how to compare the mountains to Copper and WP, but those worked well for me this year.

Anyone going up tomorrow?  I'll be at Copper tomorrow - sunday.  May be going to WP one of those days, but I'm not sure yet.

I will be at Copper on Sat.  Wanted to go tomorrow but figure Bru and I can head on over to NS headquarters instead.

^^ It was an awesome tour I was really impressed.

Yeah I am pumped on the reverse camber boards they have coming out.

hit up Copper again on Sat.  it was a good day up there.  The weather was pretty decent as well.  Only a few weekends left up there...this was a quick season.

dammit, we should have rode some together.  I was with a decent sized group though about 6.

Go figure.  I lost 2 riding partners this season in 2 weeks.

I will be there the last weekend they're open too...both days.  Gotta break in my new Stairmaster 156W.

it's ok bru.  the torture of missing out on the season is almost over!

sounds like a great vacation.  I hope you are having a great time!!!!!!!!

Steamboat got 7" last night.  You might just want to go back there as it seems everywhere but Winterpark got skunked.

The Vail/Breck/Keystone/BC/ABasin pass prices are up here

and the Steamboat/Copper/Winter Park passes are up here

So who is getting what?

Yeah i'm getting dinner and drinks tonight.

I'm getting both of the passes, i get steamboat free which includes copper/wp and since I ride summit co enough, i'll be picking up the breck/keystone/Abasin pass as well.

To be honest, I think you'll find that Copper and especially Winterpark have much better terrain than the three resorts.  Well I should exclude SlapAhoe basin, because that is a kick ass area, but it's small.  Winterpark has tons of goods, but it does take a few visits to figure it out.  I think I spent 4 or 5 years out here visiting Winterpark 2-3 times a season.  At first I didn't think much of it, after that 4-5 years I realized just how good it was.  Also with the pine beetle devastation being ground zero at Winterpark, get there now before it's all just Alpine wind blown terrain. 

I'm gona do Copper/WP & pick up a pass to Loveland too.

Yay then you get 6 days at Steamboat!  Beer gets you a place to crash, haha

I think you'll dig it.  When there are problems on I70 that pass gives you some options to lessen the pain.
