RustyHawkI have cousins that live in New England does that count?
Farmville420Loveland pass, you can lap it via hitchhiking, there's always booters built in between the top parking lot and bottom parking lot. Maybe I'll see you there lol
RustyHawkI’m heading up to Colorado in about a week and was wondering if there is an EPIC Colorado resort with any good backcountry jumps. I have an epic 4-day pass and want a place I can just huck stuff. Is there such a place?

Forrest.Gumpkeep in mind colorado isnt imaginationland ... there isnt 10 feet of pow to huck into all year round! the snowpack may be shreddable, but by no means bottomless, or ready for hucking. the pass should be good to send, but its Backcountry! and you should take it very seriuosly. maybe pay it forward to farmville to show you the ropes for real.
have fun guys, be smart out there.
RustyHawkYea, I get it, definitely will be careful
skiermanPlease don't.
Forrest.Gumpthe spot they are talking about is a well traveled, packed out , open BC area, I call the funnel.
you can tour up above, but from parking lot to parking lot, you could potentially get killed by a mack truck crossing the highway... but you really cant get lost, dont need a beacon/probe, i have taken girls there for their first BC experience.
You should invest in beacons/probes/packs/gear/local information , and LEARN!!!! ....
what is really scary is the next generation of kids showing up to the jobsite, being like, yeah, i know what im doing....
S.CConsidering the current state of snowpack, you're not going to find much of anything good right now in the sidecountry without sharks and/or avalanche risk for not that great of skiing. If you do venture out of bounds make sure you know what you're doing and plan correctly. The reality is that following people a short distance out of gates at the Vail mountains in CO can get you into very dangerous terrain (cliffs & severe avalanche risk) despite how mellow the in bounds terrain feels.
Unfortunately all of the Epic mountains knock down any kickers in bounds that people build up, so your best bet for jumps outside of the park will be natural hits. A few good spots to look for natural hits in bounds are chairs 11, the back bowls and blue sky at Vail, and TBar, peak 6, and most areas at or just above treeline at Breck. That's as much as I'll say but it'll get you started for sure; these are big mountains and you can find a good roller, natty kicker, or drop off of most lifts if you know where to look.
Enjoy your trip!
