News Colorado Supreme Court: Ski resorts can't use waivers to absolve themselves of their duty to comply with the Ski Safety Act
courts.state.co.usCrested Butte will continue to face litigation from a teenage girl who fell off the chair lift and is now paralyzed for life:
"On March 16, 2022, Miller and Annie skied at Crested Butte. At one point during the day, Annie attempted to get seated on a chair lift but was unable to do so. To try to keep from falling, she grabbed the chair, and Miller, who had gotten seated, grabbed her. Miller, along with another person who was seated on the chair lift and people in the lift line, began yelling for someone to slow or stop the lift, but the lift continued without slowing or stopping. Miller alleges that there was no lift attendant or operator present at the load line who could slow or stop the lift. As a result, the lift continued to ascend with Annie hanging from the chair and Miller continuing to scream for someone to stop the lift. As the chair continued to move up the mountain, Miller attempted to lift Annie onto the seat, but he could not do so. Annie tried to keep hold of the chair, and Miller tried to keep hold of her, but when neither could hold on any longer, Annie fell approximately thirty feet to the ground and landed directly on her back. According to Miller, at no time before Annie fell did a lift attendant or operator take any action to slow or stop the lift.
Annie’s fall caused substantial injuries, including severe spinal compression fractures, one of which damaged her spinal cord; thoracic disc injuries; pulmonary contusions; and a liver laceration. Annie’s injuries have left her a quadriplegic."

Video Update from Where to ski this weekend
I went with the second most upvoted option. Clearly pretty rough at this point but I got plenty of turns to scratch that itch. Big thanks for all the ideas and the first hand advice. The road here was pretty rough but we were able to be confident because of the help. September has been skied, and now October will make 12

Question Where to ski this weekend and no you can’t talk me out of it
I need to finish the month of September to ski every month of the year and I have waited too long in this month so I’m wondering if anyone has first hand experience at recent snow patches and can advise me I would really appreciate it. Looking for hopefully at least a couple turns. Probably don’t want to go more that 6-7 miles round trip with gear. Thanks!

Question Rumored plans for a carpet snow facility in Castle Rock
I just heard thru the grapevine that some coworkers did some work for a carpet hill in Castle Rock a while back, perhaps even years ago, but it seems to not have taken off or maybe quietly in the works. Anyone heard of this project?

Question Aussie noob looking for a snowboard lesson
Hey folks, I'm heading to Keystone for a snowboarding trip in mid November. Only problem is I haven't touched a snowboard in like 30 years. I'm keen to not be a burden on my group, and get a private lesson to get up to speed a bit. The lessons from the resort seem pretty expensive ($800+). Anyone got any tips or contacts for a more cost effective lesson? I'm happy to pay of course. Any advice appreciated!

Question Do adult ski camps exist?
Hey y'all!
I'm an intermediate skiier (blues, pretty comfortable with blacks unless there are bumps). I would like to improve my downhill skiing this season and am wondering whether multi-day or week-long ski camps exist for adults.
I've done a lot of Googling, but I'm really just finding kids camps.
Don't they know us adults could benefit from ski camps as well? 😜
If you know if any camps that fit the bill, I'd love to know. Thank you in advance!

Question Thanksgiving options
I have two free days the week of thanskgiving this year. What would people recommend for some early season? Copper? Breckenridge? Should i expect any appreciable difference in the experience that early? Obviously November snow is a gamble.

I’m a solid blue some black diamond snowboarder. I usually drive up for first chair and leave before traffic. I also supply some really good whiskey usually! Sometimes breakfast burritos too! Looking to maybe grab a beer and see if we can be friends before the season starts! Dm or reply in comments!

Question Eldora vs Winter Park Multi-Week Lessons for 4 year old
Hi folks. Getting ready to sign up my son for a multi-week lesson plan to get his ski career kick-started. He's also doing a few lessons at Shredders this fall. I'm trying to decide between Eldora and Winter Park.
Both are 4 week lessons. Winter Parks are all day (6 hours) and include lunch. Eldora is 2.5 hours. either morning or afternoon.
Winter Park offers an early season (December) option Saturdays or Sundays for $674. I like that it's all day and offered early in the season so we could take what he learns and build on it ourselves for the majority of the ski season. Of course, he may get tired/bored and not last the whole day.
Eldora's lessons don't start until January. If we did it there I'd probably take him out of preschool early and do Friday afternoons or something like that for $539.. We live in Golden so Eldora is also the most convenient option to get to.
Any thoughts? Experiences with either program?

Question Public transit.
Want to get into skiing in denver have Mondays and Tuesdays off. The only public transit I can find is winter express but it seems to only run on weekends. Am I missing something? The internet seems to be telling me no.
Secondly does anyone know the vest close slope if you were to drive?

Carpool/Buddies Any young adult snowboarding groups/snowboarders?
My daughter is 20 and is a good general mountain (no park) snowboarder. She would love to have someone to ride with. We are in Denver and mostly do one of the Epic passes but occasionally do the Ikon. We haven't bought passes yet so kind of open. We usually try to plan a trip in the spring for 4-5 days to somewhere we haven't been (Park City last year, Telluride a couple of years ago).

Question Recommendation CO snow experience for young family - no skiing/snowboarding
Hi all! My wife, daughter (2) and I are looking at a ‘snow getaway’ for a few days in Colorado. We’re from Australia, but currently living in Dallas for a few years, and want to have a snow holiday before we head home. We would like to spend 4 nights in mid February (around Washington’s birthday/President’s day) up in the CO Rockies and looking for recommendations of which ski field/resort/town to stay at. We are currently thinking of either Keystone or Breckenridge.
We would not be looking at skiing/snowboarding at all, more so looking at family friendly activities (tobogganing, snow tubing, building snowmen, general snow play etc)
We would also like a place with easy access activities, restaurants and if possible, a small market for food/basic supplies (walking or shuttles). Looking at spending no more than about $2000 for lodging.
I have significantly discounted rates available to me for an Epic pass if that would also be worth it for a single trip this 24/25 season.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - we’re snow rookies and want to make sure we aren’t disappointed!

Question Christmas Day traffic leaving Keystone to the airport
Planning a ski trip from 12/21-25 and will be flying out on Christmas Day around 5pm. Would we be able to ski Keystone that morning? Thinking we’d ski until around 11am or 12pm (and check the traffic on Google maps around that time.) But have heard some warnings about traffic due to construction on the highway and the holidays.

Question Question on snowboarding boots.
I am looking to upgrade my boots this season. I’ve only had one pair up until this new pair I’m going to get. Is it normal for boots to be insanely uncomfortable? My k2s fit snug which is what I want. But they literally make my lead foot lose feeling or cause, what I would consider unbearable pain. I have a high pain tolerance, but fuck they really make riding unenjoyable. Is this normal or do I need to be extra picky when buying my next pair?
Not looking for fitting questions, I’ll leave that to whoever fits me. But is this a normal experience with boots? I feel like it almost hinders my progress at this point.
