  1. They would charge you per hit if one of those towers was on NMDW. Can't leave money on the table! Speaking of tables, remember table top jumps? I remember them being absolutely every jump when I was younger and I can't remember seeing one in the past few years.
  2. It's pretty cool to see a pile of lift towers. Definitely not something you see every day.
  3. I don't know how they can do a promotion and sell these things for less than the initial price without huge backlash or at the very least a good drubbing online. I think they will just have them for sale all summer long until they absolutely have to scrap them at some point. All in the name of not leaving money on the table. I think the move should have been to sell chairs but include something along with it from the start. Buy a chair get free parking all next year; buy a chair get a $100 gift card for the restaurant; buy a chair get $X off of a season pass. Literally anything but "Haul away our trash but leave us over a grand on your way out".
  4. Half the fun is wondering what they are trying to do up there.
  5. Steamboat is getting in the game of selling off lifts. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2022/05/23/steamboat-ski-resort-auction-christie-lift-chairs-gondola-cabins-expansion-project/
  6. I have no idea how construction of a new chairlift usually goes but is this something you need to submit plans to the county for? If so I'm surprised someone hasn't dug up a set of drawings that show the route. Maybe I'm off on that though and they don't need to submit anything publicly.
  7. My AC is broken again. Just having the entire thing replaced at this point. Unfortunately it won't be until Wednesday of next week. Wish me luck.
  8. just more room to ski during the once every 5 year storms
  9. You can see one tower dropped on the ground on the Main Street cam now
  10. Just wait two years when people who paid $1200 for these chairs realize they are just taking up space in the garage and sell them for $100 on Craigslist
  11. All chairs must be picked up by June 17? Is the 18th when they take the 100 or so unsold chairs to a scrap yard?
  12. There is a lot of action on the Camelback webcams as opposed to barely being able to see anything going on at Blue https://www.camelbackresort.com/live-cam-gallery/
  13. I'm surprised they aren't routing it right up the lift line of the Burma/Main Street Chair. I'm sure there's a good reason it's not going there but I just can't seem to figure out what that is right now. I'm not a huge fan of lifts that turn though so maybe it's for the best.
  14. Let me preface this by saying it's extremely unlikely BUT They could maintain their ability to open early with just the upper mountain if they build a mid-station into this new lift that would load at the bottom of main street.
  15. Rope's gone! They will probably reuse it when they build the transfer cabriolet from the back lot where we have to park now to the base of the Summit Safari Super Six
  16. If they included something with the chair for 1200 it would be more enticing. Buy a chair get a free lift ticket or something like that
  17. Boulder would be doing much better if they sold the chairs for $1200. They left money on the table
  18. $1200 is certainly not leaving any money on the chairs, there hasn't been money left on the table in quite a while. I'm getting ready for them to pave the parking lot and sell the bigger pieces of gravel off at $5 a piece before they bring the asphalt in.
  19. https://www.townepark.com/t-park/product-features/ My best guess is that they will install a kiosk style parking system with an attendant who will walk around and scan license plates for people who didn't pay via app or kiosk and then give them a ticket and/or call to have them towed. I bet they send an email to all passholders having us register our license plates by the time the season starts next year.
  20. I'll never buy a boot without BOA again. Flows though I'm still on the fence about, though I'm currently binding shopping.
  21. I hope the swimmers and paddleboarders don't disturb the koi too much
  22. Why is Blue Mountain looking for lifeguards?
  23. Time to send up another recon plane!
  24. That sign would have looked good on the wall of a Hotel House
  25. This is getting real serious real fast. Chairs are still on the Main Street Chair as of right now
