[Spritz]

has anybody heard anything about echo mtn. opening up soon?

 

[IanH]

aren't they supposed to open in december?

 

[3ski6guy0]

they said they will probably open late december. www.echomtnpark.com if you want to see the site

 

[co_rider]

yea check out the echo mtn site fourms. Theres usually a guy on there that works for echo, and will answer your questions.

 

[zeppelinbro]

they dont really say much about what they will actually have, there is just a forum aboutwhat people want, anyone know what they will have there

I heard that there is gonna be another all park mountain opening on the other side of I-70 on St. Marry's glacier. heard it from a kid on a lift at Copper. So dont take my word for it.

 

[Jeff_Lo]

Yay! the more all park mtns are! the less crowded all the other parks are!

 

[3ski6guy0]

st marys doesnt get very much snow, its not even a glacier anymore. squaw pass gets quite a bit of snow though so it should be nice

 

[monkeysteez]

During the winter it gets plenty of snow plus they have snow guns.

Looks like echo is starting a trend in CO. I think echo is a good idea with a lot of thought put in, but this one seems like a 24 year old with too much money and a pipe dream.

[3ski6guy0]

ha. holy shit. so they just started now...that means it wont be open till like march. id still rather drive up to a big resort than go up that windy road all the way up to st marys. thats a long ways back there

 

[Brett-Kai]

^Especially in the winter. Not a road I want to drive up

 

[Jeff_Lo]

the ski area would probably pay the state to have the road cleared when it snows

 

[Dan-Man]

that would be cool

 

[Phrosty]

i stopped by echo a few days ago. they are doing a lot of work on the lodge and the lift. there wasn't much snow at all, not even close to engouh to ski on. One guy there said Jan 19th is the new projected opening date. but I don't know, things wern't looking too good.

 

[3ski6guy0]

i was up there last week and they definitely need to start blowing snow.

no snow huh? they are going to have a shitty season, if all they have is man-made snow, and no natural snow, gotta have some real snow to build up that base!
