Unfortunately, I woke up too sick the next morning to ski so I limped home. Feelin’ better but I still have a ways to go. I think the nonstop traveling and skiing finally caught up to me. Kind of a bummer to drive that far but that’s the way it goes I guess! Not sure how much more skiing I’ll be doing this year as my focus is shifting towards racing now this weekend!

Always been on the road is excruciating, travel like 60 milles to my job and then sometimes i go sking afterward in the morning and do like 80 milles to the ski area .Strap on my boots and feel like shit... This make the couples of runs not that pleasurable.Get some sleep dude.

I really appreciate how human your approach is to handling a challenging situation. Like IT IS OK to back off from a line that you are just unsure about, and I hope that this encourages other people to trust their instinct and set their ego aside for their own safety and the safety of others.

Deep South girl here. I learned to ski at Winter Park. They teach blind people so I figured they could teach me. My Sweetie wanted to go on a great vacation. I thought islands, he thought mountains. I came this close to just staying in the lodge but ventured out instead and never regretted it. Winter Park holds a special place in my heart for teaching me something I never imagined I'd love so much. Thank you for the video and sorry you got sick. Sounds like you mighta got the 'rona.

10:46 It use to be WAY longer back before they put the Eagle Wind lift in. Before you ended up on the FAR RIGHT of the map at the bottom of Vasquez. would take 2 hours run. I got lucky once and patrol threw me a rope and gave a bunch of us a tug so we skipped the walk! 🙌 But that terrain under the lift you took up after is a TON of fun.

You gotta hit copper is you have the chance. I think you would really like it. A lot of steep and technical terrain. The mountain is totally farmable as you say. Lift lines are short especially for the lifts which service higher elevation areas and backside bowls. Easy to get around the mountain and it’s pretty big. It’s been my favorite this resort this season on ikon. Snow is usually pretty good too.

I went to Winter Park for the first time this year. Skied three days and I was told it was the best week of the year. The snowcat was running so we lapped that area all day long. We skied the trees off the lift you need to get out after skiing the cirque. It made for a great day. Since I am from the east coast the walk would have been a no go or maybe one time thing.

Hey Lucas I grew up skiing at winter park so if you end up coming back next year you gotta check out Brian's Run, Hole In the Wall, Mushroom patch, Riflesight Trees, Pony Exp Trail and Belle Fourche! Those are some of my favorites.

I live in Steamboat & have skiied Winter Park a lot over the years & it's really not my favorite resort. Signage often seems confusing & there's a lot of flats, but it is pretty at the top. Vasquez cirque is such a long flat hike though. You would like skiing A-basin a lot, it's a fun little resort.

gotcha. for some reason i had better expectations for it! and i love a basin! used to ski there all the time when i lived in colorado.

Sucks you got sick. I had my board when I went to winter park, and we luckily caught the day after a storm. We rode the Eagle Wind area which ended up being top 5 lifetime tree riding for me, fresh powder all day long till our legs were done. IIRC the cat wasn't running either so we skipped the cique. Definitely a great resort and worth a trip back!

In case you're ever back in Winter park and looking for some more extreme terrain without the walk, there's some sort of untouched spots in the Mary jane territory I'd highly recommend if you enjoy more densely treed cliff drops. At the top of the challenger lift, if you go down to the mouth of the run called trestle and hang a left into the trees and keep heading left to the rope, there are some nice cliff areas that are unnamed and opposite from the Mary Jane chutes. Very dense trees, relatively steep, and some nice jumps if you're into that. Me and my buddies spend hours every day in trestle trees when the mary jane chutes are closed!

That was fun to watch. I’ve skied a number of the runs you were filming from, so I could feel like I was there. I was a bit surprised that terrain was open. It’s closed a lot and I didn’t think it had that much snow. There’s a short hike you can go up right above the lift, not to ski, but to get an amazing 360 view. I think that’s the second prettiest view I’ve seen skiing (#1 was Heavenly looking down at Lake Tahoe).
