Here is a link to the photos I took yesterday on my drive up into the mountains. Again I am sorry for the poor quality, I could not get out and walk around too much, getting over some health issues which limit me at present. It was a great trip none the less. Visited 3 resorts total, Breck, Keystone, and Loveland.

No, that is all that was on their site. I would imagine the towers on Moonbeam are staying put. Still can't get over the fact that they are ripping out aa 2 year old fixed grip quad, talk about poor planning.

I still think replacing Apex is a huge waste of $$$. The two lifts which need the upgrades are Powderhorn and Summit. They must be intending to build some real estate or something.

Sorry- didn't get any photos - but the mechanisms for Burnt Ridge left the LPOA factory today.

Hmm... Photobucket seems to work fine for me. How many did you try to post? I think you're only allowed 8 hosted pictures per post.

Keystone is getting right to work on their new gondola. The foundation for the bottom station has already been poured, tower parts are sitting in the parking lot, and the old gondola is completely disassembled except for the towers.

First, the old cabins:

All of the old cabins are just sitting at the east end of the Montezuma parking lot. Does anyone know if they plan on selling any of them?

The ambulance cabin. They discretely wrote head and feet, just so the paramedics don't screw it up. Has anybody ever seen one of these used?
