Good to see people who want to revive it again
I was just there a couple days ago and mountain definitely has potential
Good stuff I hope this works out.
It will work....... with so many disenfranchised from the corp world and policies along with ticket prices this guy couldn't have picked a better time........ people just want to ski . I see many more of these stories coming to be . Best wishes for those that put profit before people and good old heart into it.
couldn't have said it better
Where is this specifically? I’d love to venture out there!
eastern Colarado
I just found out here in Minnesota a old local ski area is going to reopen after 20 some year's 🤞
Which one? Southern MN has been boring me pretty bad lately. Save for Welch.
Where in minn?
@@jwj8201 birchpark it actually might be right over the border tho in Wisconsin.. if I remember right? I was in jr high when It was open...
I skied Cuchara in 1997 while living in Colorado Springs. I found the ski resort delightful! Not so crowded as the “big” resorts and financially more reasonable. Best wishes and good luck on reviving Cuchara to its former glory!!❤️
Is cuchara valley open now?? Or did it close again?
From the looks of it chair 4 is still not running but they are still working on it. I had to find out too.
@Steve G the question was
Is Cuchara Valley open now? Or Did is close down again? I did not ask about the chair 4 or chair 3.
No, it didn’t reopen! The problem is that part of the state doesn’t get adequate snowfall every year. That was one of the reasons it closed in 2001. These people trying to reopen it, are going to be plagued with the same problem.
@Skylizard1996 dam...I dunno why people don't install snow making machines or use snow fans to shoot snow out on the trails. It's simple facts that places like this need proper snow makers.
@@khatske Then you come up with the millions of $$$$ it takes to first install and then run the snow making equipment.
I'd love to make a pilgrimmage to that place!
i have land in silver cliff/westcliffe, co :) Another location within an hour of that gem. would never have bought the land if not for housing prices in this state. man I gotta get an Avrame home on that land. that and conquistador are on my bc tour list on a good snow year. add monarch pass, canyon city, bishops castle, durango, the sand dunes and wolf creek. gotta explore soco. if you can keep it cheap, us millenials moving to the pueblo area soon will flock there. gen z too. lets face it. our last option in the state is gentrifying pueblo.
Put down NEVERPLAST on a couple runs and you will not need snowmaking..
AHA FIRST
Take emotion out of these decisions or you'll be living in a van down by the river.
