With the rise of Midwest park skier skill on an all time high and this issue solely related to the re-birth of rope tows has created many questions as to why top parks like Keystones A51 and WoodWard at coppers central park have not installed tow ropes in there parks. at this rate pro skiers will know longer flock to large out west resorts and soon find themselves skiing at beautiful tow rope hills like Tyrol basin , Troll , Hyland Hills , Spirit mountain, and cannonsburg.

I agree, west coasters simply can’t compete with these gosh darn east coasters without rope tows!!

Uh I mean from my experience at all these resorts they just have individual chairlifts at each park therefore your gloves don’t get destroyed and your legs can take a break.

Also I’d be more than happy if everyone left the West for skiing and went back to the Midwest so you’re right... towropes are the future. Everyone leave now. Please.

Anybody can hit a jump but it takes skill to ski slide a rail therfore jumps are for pussies and real skier hit rails

Even though a lot of the parks out west are longer and chairlifts make more sense at times, I think having tow ropes in portions of the parks would be a good idea. It could relieve congestion of the main park lifts on weekends and would be good for progression if you can just hit a couple features a million times really quickly.

Where do all midwest/ east coast skiers go to perfect their skills? The west coast, breck and keystone have individual two chairs that service the park directly. You can hotlap so hard at keystone and breck if it's not crowded. The rope tow at Breck and Key would have to be very long considering the pro line jumps can only be hit in a line or else you wont have speed.
