Passes for 2020 - 2021

wonder how Gore might want to consider incorporating Ski Bowl into possible reservation/capacity limits to help disperse crowds...maybe set aside a # of spots for ski bowl lift access from 8a-10a on weekends--you'd have to start your day down there, then make your way over as applicable to main mountain. Just thinking out loud here....

I like the idea but no way Gore is that forward thinking to do something like that.

I was wondering if they might try to open burnt ridge early this year to help disperse the crowds.

I'll be surprised if they don't try to maximize the bowl. If so, would they blow on the interconnnect earlier? Should they? Who knows.

Hard for me to imagine a world where they don't start on Sunway and work out from there.

I like Burnt too, but there's another connector you are blowing on early.
 
Ski areas down here in the 4 Corners region rarely if ever hit maximum capacity numbers like the big players further up north.

Im feeling pretty good about making a quick trip up to Durango/Silverton or Santa Fe/Taos.

I purchased season passes at our home hill and I’m already big on tailgating. I doubt Coleman is going to restrict much but we’ll see.

luckily there’s so much cool shit to do around here in the winter other than skiing I’m more than happy to take a winter off if it’s necessary.

if any of you have been curious it’s probably going to be a good year to visit Silverton. There is that LaNina factor though.

Coolest profile pic/avatar award goes to RA
 
Will get to it, but it won't compete!

And to add some substance given my gratuitous post, here is detail on the reservation system - thanks for pointing that out Marz. Could it be that skiing at Hunter will be enjoyable : )

I am gonna call Belleayre to see what they will be doing, but I don't think they will tell me.

They may not know yet.

Taos put out a general announcement this week. They will open but won't be giving any details for at least a few weeks. My experience is that TSV managers for winter activities don't get back into their offices until early Sept. Typically don't update their website until mid-September. Could well be late September or October this year. My travel plans for early Feb are set. Can be cancelled or changed before mid-December though.
 
I am still hoping to be at Gore as an instructor, but they are still working out the procedures and it's impossible to know at this time whether or not I'll feel safe with what they come up with as well as what the state of the virus will be. So I'm going to buy a non holiday pass and use it mostly mid-week. I may ski a few weekends and just leave at lunch time to avoid any indoor crowds.

Stay safe everyone.
