Frisco, Copper Mountain Colorado and Thanksgiving n the Rockies

November 24, 2006

Skied the last two days at Copper Mountain in Summit County Colorado. Each day the terrain and snow was plentiful for November. A nice mix of groomers and bumps gave the us a full day of skiing. There were morning crowds at the American Flyer chair out of the base area. We found that skiing and riding off the Super B chair ensured virtually no of very small lift lines.
Here we also found a more interesting mix of terrain and conditions that were not as hard and scratchy as the center of the mountain. Each day new runs were opened offering more diversity. It was fairly busy and we skied Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day before the holiday crowds. Staying in Frisco we rented a 4 bedroom townhouse from Big Horn Rentals. It was located walking distance from downtown off 5th Street. The pool and clubhouse facility was clean and included three outdoor hot tubs, once indoor with a heated pool and sauna and steam room. We would gladly rent and stay at this unit again.

One new discovery in town was the Frisco Internet Cafe. This service I find as a necessity on many trips. The service is located adjacent and inside the Frisco Lodge on main street. At $6 an hour the connection - high speed wifi - and friendly atmosphere made this an easy to use and access stop on 2 days of my trip.

Not to be forgotten is the morning, or anytime, stop at the Butterhorn Cafe across the street from the Frisco Lodge on Main Street. This cafe has been here for almost 20 years and has wonderful baked goods, breads with a sumptuous breakfast menu.Sandwiches and more are available or lunch. This is and has continued to be one of my favorite stops in the AM or after and wanted a cup of coffee and an afternoon baked good.

More deals, skiing, riding and reviews. Happy Thanksgiving.

Date line Frisco Colorado - More deals, skiing, riding and reviews. Happy Thanksgiving
It is the first holiday of the winter ski and snowboard season. It was truly a dash getting the live registrations and coupons working at the Mountain Sports Club site. But with a huge effort by our partners at Premity - Jeremy and Dan, to enable this feature and more. Members have stated using the services and new members are registering daily. We wish to thank everyone for their help and support in getting this launched and ready for the holiday. There is good snow in the central Rockies and resorts opening all around the continent. Now is the time to get your gear and start making plans for trips.
Yesterday skied Arapahoe Basin and enjoyed a great Colorado Blue bird day. With the two main lifts - Exhibition and Lenawee providing top to bottom skiing, there was a surprising amount of terrain and soft snow to be skied. We spent most the day mixing it up between cruisers and soft bump runs under the Lenawee chair. I also noticed a new mid mountain lodge being built. This facility I was told would be ready to open around March 1. This coincides with the busy spring season when the Basin cranks into high gear. We will keep you updated as this facility opens. The snow conditions and variety of skiing and riding was nothing short of excellent for this time of year. There have been January's in recent memory where I had wished the snow was this good. Access was also available to the far east side of the West wall toward Pali. Lots of good snow and a great day.

The plan is to ski Copper Mountain the next 2 days we will post a review on the Copper page later this week.
