Place with a Drop Off/Locker Room/Lunch Spot/Shuttle Stop at Keystone and Breck
Up until this year, we've (6 assorted kids and I) skied at Copper and
Winter Park. I've developed the pattern of dropping the gang (with gear, and big bag containing extra clothing, sunscreen, water, and lunches etc) near the base, using the skier drop zone, and then driving to the free parking and shuttling back. The gang takes the bag to a locker room where skiers put on their boots and stash normal footwear in the bag. Then they stash the bag atop a locker where I can find it. We meet again for lunch, retrieve the bag, eat our sack lunches, and re-stash the bag. You get the idea. This works great at Winter Park, Mary Jane, the main base area at Copper, and at Union Creek. Yesterday at Breck's Peak 9 base, it didn't work well at all - no place to eat lunch and no good place to change footwear. Seems like The Maggie would be a good spot, but there's no skier drop off or shuttle stop. Any ideas about how to do our routine, or something similar, at Keystone and Breck now and how to do it later in the season after more places are open? |

At Breck, the Maggie is a great place to drop stuff (on top of the lockers, under the bencheds, etc.). I would recommend buying a condo within walking distance. Other than that, if the shuttle gets you near there, carry your stuff and use it as your base.

You just need to wait for the base area at Peak 8 to open. The Bergenhoff is a good place to meet up. snoig |

Nostalgia moment: does anyone remember what the base of Peak Nine looked like in the mid-'70s? Or Peak 8, for that matter? And how you got from one to another?

My dad has a shot from when we first skied there. 1963. Mike... -- Littleton, Colorado (reply to msaemisch at yahoo dot com) See my ski photography at: http://PowderDay.us Carpe powder-diem |
