first off- using the word "training" = LOLZZZZZZ

second- anyone who bitches about the skiing in summit is a total bitch and should be banished to ski the midwest for the rest of his/her life.

I agree with this and what you said about other CO areas (San Juans, Aspen area etc) but im just sick of summit being labeled as a park-only place. Sure THE RESORTS arent as steep as other areas in the west, but cmon, the county is surrounded by the Continental Divide, there are plenty of LEGIT mountains here. Get a sled or some skins, and get some

They have the least stable, thin, poor snowpack in the country, i.e. sketchy ass backcountry. So for skins/snoowmoblies, ill go somewhere else.

the point isnt that its the best skiing there is. its that there are 4 mountains all 20-30 minutes from each other with sick night life and things to do (woodward)

1. Summit county used to have good snow. Example: 07/08 Season
2. The "Pros" don't go to Dos Locos.
3. The ratio is retarded... but not for chicks... though the chicks are easy.
