goatmasterdoes echo still have a park for night skiing?
coskiier1024The problem here is that it still required the first part of I70 to get to. Basically if you're going to head up from the front range and ski you might as well go the extra time and just go to A basin/loveland/breck etc. The big problem is there isnt quite enough snow right on the front range just outside Denver to support anything bigger. Eldora has done a decent job with their park and they are only about 20-30 minutes from Boulder. COS needs a park like Echo that is up near woodland park, its just cold enough to keep the snow for the main part of winter and is only a 20-25 minute drive from downtown.
johnblazeThought they went tits up several years ago?

CeleryWhen do you turn 18? I'm taking a gap year next year and may be willing to take at trip down that way for some biking in the fall. I'd help get something going
caleb-k-hGonna have to disagree about spruce, they got like 3 legit rails, no jumps and the rails are sticky.
CeleryThey're on the come up, they've got a very small amount of funding and I think it's only gonna go up from here.
a_burgerBelieve it or not they used to get FREE electricity from the hydro plant below the base lodge until it closed. Thats basically unlimited snowmaking which would have been insane. Unfortunately now their kinda limited by how much snow the board wants to make on that slope. Showing up and spending money in the cafeteria the best way to help convince the board that the park stuff is worth it though.
bigcandybarRIP to Pando !
MichiganCatFartImagine sking somewhere known for their tubing being the main attraction.
