Dude, his reasoning and citations make pretty good sense on this one, and his general lack of grammatical errors really emphasize his point. Plus, his non-aggressive delivery and reputable user name add extra points.

I'm going to go ahead and take his advice and stop skiing at Loveland. Even though I've skied there several times and really quite enjoyed the cliffs and steeper terrain, his clean and thoughtful argument just really tickled my fancy.

Oh, don't take my comment wrong Jon, it was more in amazement of how truthful and elloquent his statement was.

Go to chair 8 and when you ski off of it, go straight and fade right, you'll eventually come across a backcountry access gate. You have to hike a little but there are some really nice chutes and trees with a few cute little cliffs. If you want to go big, go up on a day when the entire ridge is open and hike to Marmot. Marmot is some of the best in-bounds backcountry I've experienced in a long time and there are some super nice drops out there. Honestly, anything on the ridge is a good time though.

Isn't "in-bounds backcountry" an oxymoron?

You could say that. But it also happens to be a good description of the Ridge and many people have called it that before, both here on NS and up at the mountain.

I'm not going to argue, I'm just going to point this out.

Interesting read, thank you. I now change the wording to "The Ridge is some of the best slackcountry and sidecountry skiing I've ever experienced."

Hopefully, someday, i'll actually be a badass. I can only hope at this point.

Bumping this thread to show that Loveland does have a few nice cliffs, I landed my first 3 off a cliff there in March :)
