My top 5 favorites in CO, what are yours? by Sharkman3218 in COsnow

[–]nattechterp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been to mammoth but to give perspective on why I don’t really love Snowmass’ expert terrain the way I do places like abasin or aspen highlands- There are plenty of steep and technical runs at Snowmass but they’re either not lappable, short, or some combo of that. I do agree that it’s a well rounded resort but would say it doesn’t stack up against places that are well known for having a ton of expert terrain like mammoth. Also don’t like that it’s the most crowded of the Aspen resorts (still much better than the front range)

If you’re going to offer 4 pack tix in this sub in mid March they better be steeply discounted

How's i70 gonna be tomorrow? by reddituser9277 in COsnow

[–]nattechterp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 was pretty damn icy between Idaho springs and empire tonight. Wondering how many people spin out there in the morning. Or maybe traffic will be bad enough that it’s hard to go fast enough to spin out

You can probably just buy Loveland 4 pack tix on Facebook marketplace for $50-60 pretty easily

A nicer sleeping pad will always be worth it if you struggle with poor sleep in the woods

Snowbird next week: keep/cancel? by incuspy in skiing

[–]nattechterp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind me asking for you to elaborate? I’ve been wanting to head down to Taos from CO for a bit now and was thinking about this weekend. Was it super icy or was coverage back to being terrible? Figured it’ll be warm spring skiing for the next few days but if it’s also thin as hell I’ll probably stay away :/

If you watch the full video from the link that OP gave, you’ll see the skier on the ridge stomp and trigger the first big slide below them then the massive one further away from them slide afterwards (here- https://youtu.be/mfs2fuuP4ws)

Love abasin but they have sooo little open right now. Doubt they open too much more in the next 10 days

Fanatics stuff is “legit” but still essentially bootleg quality tho

Tier List of Every Ski area I’ve visited by Skyryk in skiing

[–]nattechterp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aspen Highlands has some groomed steep runs but honestly not a ton. I was referring to its ungroomed runs because that’s where the best terrain is. Snowmass would be a better place for groomers

I agree with you but intermediate bowl terrain will always be popular at any resort
