They are literally on right next to eachother, closer than whistler and blackcomb, which has a gondola between them.
Its gonna happen eventually, once the sand gets cleared out of a bunch of vaginas, but it sucks to have to continue to wait for a win win business decision.

It gets too windy there to put in a peak 2 peak type lift, and the west side of 10 mile range doesn't hold enough snow to be able to ski down the backside. I don't think it will ever happen.

They wouldnt open up the backside of breck for skiing. Thats triple diamond steep ass rocky slopes there. Im talking about a gondola that goes from the base of breck to the base of copper. Also if wind was an issue i think they could still build a tram that could deal.

Europe has trams that deal with absurd wind speeds with no problem.
Also bitches. Bitches love trams.

Copper + Breck Gondola = Yellow Jackets at Copper and most likely no more woodward so that would basically be suicide.

You’d have to build the tram over the mountain to make it base to base. Peak to peak makes far more sense but again it’s waaayyyy too windy there to do it

John Cumming already made that mistake once. Only fucking up they big once.

And PC Canhole connect is such bullshit. There is no connect. There is a gondola, one trail and some shitting south facing skiing that’s open 2 weekends a year on a good year.

Same thing that would happen at copper/breck except longer and shittier.

Also I’m pretty sure state of CO put the hammer down on Vail buying more Resorts in their state.
