Whats up man what time frame are you looking to go to Colorado? I'm flying out to Arizona for Thanksgiving and looking to hit Colorado, mostly looking to split lodging and cut down on costs.
Probably the best advice right there. I doubt you'd have any problems getting people to show up to the front range spots. A little tougher at the destination off the well traveled road spots.
I'll meet up where ever. Vail resorts places or copper preferred because of passes. I'll be in vail pretty much every day. I don't mind an evening beer meet either.
I'm comin through, contemplating riding loveland and/or vail for a day, simply because I'll be in the area. I'd be happy to ride with any of you for a day, sometime between nov. 23rd and the 30th
Shit I forgot I even posted this thread, ill be at loveland the three days before thanksgiving. Another three days the week before Christmas and a week at copper January 13th. That's all I got planned early season.
I'll be in Breck the 12th-19th, got a pass for A-Bay. I'd dig it to meet some peeps from the board. Think I'm gonna check out the dew tour thurs or Fri night. Other then that a meet for brews on any other night I'd be down, or if anyone riding the bay around then.....be cool to actually ride with some of ya.
yo bro i'll be doing the same. prob 9th-21st hitting up dew tour. it was packed around the events but mountain was empty. i'd be down to get some riding in b/c coming up solo alot of times.
I've got a loveland and summit value pass. I'll probably spend 50% of the weekdays at the love, the other 30% a-bay, 10% ski-stone, and 10% breck-n-fridge. If anyone wants to catch some runs hit me up, i'll be going to Loveland tommorow because of the shorter early season lines compared to a-basin.
Heading out to Summit Cty for Thanksgiving (3rd year!) w/my GF to visit friends and get some early season riding in. We'll be at Copper Fri the 23rd, and probably Loveland on Saturday 24th.
Hey all you Colorado-cats. budderbear, sponger606 and myself are organizing for Keystone this Tuesday! Anyone who is interested in meeting up and riding definitely let me know! Otherwise just look for the dude w/ 'dopamean' on his board if you find yourself up on the mountain!
Heading out first thing in the AM for Keystone & Breck tomorrow, then Vail on friday for opening day. Will probably be riding Vail all weekend once we're up there so if you see 'dopamean' on a board, please don't hesitate to shout!
the sticker is a little strange to read, but found out it was legible enough yesterday @ Keystone when I got a random shout out from sponger606 who happened to see it!
Vail was pretty disappointing as far as snowboarding goes.
They had 1 catwalk leading over to a green w/ a couple tiny rollers and the blue was mostly in the shade and icy. They have a little park open where the trails merge, consisting of a couple little boxes and a wall ride. But unless you want to cut across the highway I recommend mobbing the blue to get there. It was crowded.
The majestic views, alcohol-fueled nightlife and STD-infested swamp donkeys made up for it. I didn't get to ride @ all on opening day due to some wicked alcohol-poisoning that completely owned me.
Vendetta's has a good slice of pizza for $3.50 and a brew for $2.75
Steer clear of the Red Lion; drinks are overpriced and the wait-staff is terrible.
There's a little place down the stairs to the
when you come off the bridge. It's this tiny little coffee shop that sells some food and hard liquor and has a pretty chill vibe to it. The name escapes me, but it's got a 'Help Wanted' sign on the door and was playing some awesome, old-skool jams all night.
Though there was little to no snow anyway, the walkway throughout the village is heated so it won't ice over and there's a pretty cool fountain with flames pouring out of it up the hill, which I gather was designed by some dude for some stupid amount of $$$.
If you're interested in sticking something while you're up there, please wear a rubber and double-bag that shit if you can. The general and mostly unspoken-consensus is that everyone has had a ride around the block.
I haven't hit up Arapahoe Basin yet, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the extra drive-time to go ride Vail.
P.S. there's this place called 'Joe's' I think, which is half-ice cream shop / half-breakfast joint? Anyway, if you can keep your food down the next morning, go snag a breakfast burrito from them -- pretty dank.
Noob here, Dopamean shot me a link for this thread. I'm living in Denver and looking for peeps to ride with. Not opposed to peeps to get beers with (locally) either, so far I have stuck around the highlands/old town area.
I'll be hitting Copper next week with a friend from back east if anyone will be up there let me know, need a crew to ride with. (Also looking to take my photography to the snow, so if that interests peeps, thats out there too)
I also have a trip to Steamboat planned 12/14 - 17th if anyone will be out that way either. Eff! Pray for some snow!!
yo dude i just moved to the frontrange about a month ago so i'm also lookin for sum dudes to share some rides with, etc. i'm thinking about going to copper this thanksgiving wknd. when you plan on goin? and yea i also have a gopro so it'd be cool to get some footie. i like riding park but if the snow is good i'd be in the glades, etc.
I'm back east for Tday, and I wont get back to Denver until Saturday afternoon. Probably wont get out til mid week, next week but totally down for weekends after that
So you are Grouch? Or you won the Battle of the Bands thing but posted a video of Grouch? Or you got free tickets and are not a performer of any type? Im confused...
In any case, I'll be riding Thursday. Probably at Key unless someone else opens up some new terrain.
Me, my gf and her best friend will be in co from the 29th of jan to the 5th of feb. I'd be down to ride just about anywhere. We are kind of winging it. Flying into Denver those days, nothing else planned. The gf likes riding and probably wont get in more than 3 days, her friend probably less.
She works for Marriott so we might end up at vail, possibly breckenridge depending on the snow/ availability with her discount.
