The resort wasn't making any money. Their terrain is all for upper level skiers, most of the skiers in CO aren't 'extreme' skiers. They do run snowcat powder stuff up there now, and it's still open for backcountry. You just have to hitch rides back to the top of the pass and walk a little more than you used to.

we hiked it a couple weeks ago to our kicker, low and behold there where snowboarders and we just had this all out super session... it was gnarly

when an officer pulls you over: gee son your eyes look red, have you been drinking?
respond: gee officer your eyss look glazed have you been eating doughnuts?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: 'Mankind'. Basically, it's made up of two separate words - 'mank' and 'ind'. What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

beckaski ur stupid.
are u saying that there are states with primarily 'extreme' skiers? wtf is wrong with u.
colorado has like the most skiers so im betting that the percentages of 'extreme' skiers in most states is roughly the same, so that means we have more 'extremists'.
berthoud pass ran out of business cuz it suked ass.

No I'm not stupid, I just know that that's what the manager told me when they were closing. I also know that Colorado caters to blue groomer tourists. And since that is the majority of the skiing population, Berthoud couldn't provide when all of the other resorts here have shit-tons of blue groomers, so they didn't have enough business to stay open.

And really, there aren't that many really good skiers in the Summit County/Front Range part of Colorado.
