Certainly, we'd find a way to do it if we believed people would come. I think most ski areas close with lots of snow because people start taking up summertime sports like golfing, tennis, biking, etc. It's always been a stumper in the ski industry, particularly if you're not near a metropolitan drive market. - Dave Hi Mike, Interesting ideas, thanks for passing them along.

That is one of the many georgeous stops made by Telluride's Scenic 4X4 outfitters. Dave,

Once the flights stop, the profit stops. However, the locals hate to miss out on good spring skiing--especially when you finally get good snow at the end of the season. Hell, I flew out to Denver a few weeks ago and had a foot of dry pow at A-basin. Epic. Its a shame to see our beloved T-Ride covered from head to base this late. Here's my plan that would be offered when weather conditions permit: 1st Open a limited mountain 2nd season ticket option with a walk up ticket at half price. Cut the mountain in half similar to early season. It has to make money-or no deal. 2nd Add a limited flight schedule to extend the season two weeks and offer telluride properties at half price. 3rd Dream big. Create an amateur competition with the winner getting a tryout for the USA Ski Team, a spot on Survivor, or something to attract attention and buzz. Hey, why not? I get it.

It looks like the couple hiked up Imogene Pass, and maybe bouldered up a ways to get to that point where they overlook the Town of Telluride. I didn’t take that particular picture.

That's a "Yay/Boo" game. Perhaps Yay for our impatient young folks and a definite BOO for us OLDIES who like the fact that it"s rarely crowded on the chair 9 trails. SO same old dilemna! You can't please everyone...BUT you guys do get it right most of the time!!! THANKS again Telski. Dave…Thanks for another great season…RE upgrading Chair 9…Will attract more skiers.
