Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where can you ski powder in China Bowl, hit bumps on Prima or Highline, then head to The Club or The Tap Room for a few pints? You'll have to dodge posers in fur coats and designer one-pieces as you make your way through the village.
2. Where can you ski unrelenting top-to-bottom bumps on Grouse Mountain? Before your legs are spent, be sure to ski the Royal Elk Glades (if it's open) to hit some great pow-pow in the trees.
3. Where can you hit some great double-blacks on the North Face, Phoenix Bowl, and Third Bowl, as well as making a short hike to the very topmost peak to ski the Banana Funnel? Afterwards, you can stop by the Butte 66 BBQ Roadhouse for a drink and some sloppy BBQ ribs.
4. Where do powder hounds make their way to Parson's Bowl and Vasquez Cirque, and the bump-lovers stick to old favorites such as Trestle and Derailer? Afterwards, you can head downtown to The Pub and gobble down as many happy-hour 25 cent wings as your stomach will allow.
5. Where can you ride up the Outback Express lift, then hike out to the North Bowl for some pow-pow? Afterwards, you can lick your wounds at at the Last Lift bar with the obligatory aprés-ski-live-solo-acoustic-guitar-cover-song-singer.
6. Where is this? Base at 10,400 feet. Peak at 12,300 feet. Only has one lift that rises 2000 vertical feet, and it takes you to some of the best powder skiing in America. Enuff said.
7. Where can you hike to Peak 8 to hit powder in the Horseshoe and Contest Bowls? Hike Peak 7 to hit Peak 7 Bowl and Whale"s Tail. After that, a good place to imbibe is Downstairs at Eric's.
8. Where do you find your expert terrain on the backside of Union Peak and Tucker Mountain, as well as the terrain under/around the Resolution lift? Afterwards, settle in for aprés drinks at the bottom of the Super-Bee lift, at Molly B's.
9. You can hit unbelievable tree skiing (through mostly deciduous tree stands) in many places on this mountain, including Christmas Tree Bowl, Chute 1, Chute 2, Chute 3, and No Names. Imbibing is always good at the Tap House.
10. What resort in Southwest Colorado typically gets pounded with more snowfall than any other in Colorado? Hit the amazing pow-pow in bowls like Montezuma Bowl, Horseshow Bowl and the Knife-Ridge Chutes.
11. Where can you make your way all the way back to Prospect Bowl and hit some hardcore favs such as Little Rose, Genevieve, and Andy's Gold? There are lots of aprés ski drinking opportunities at spots such as Allred's Bar, Wildflour and The Crunchy Porcupine.
12. Where can you head up to the top of Loge Peak and hit any of the extreme chutes that make up the Steeplechase? This mountain is the best of a group of four that are near the town. For your aprés beer, head downtown into any of the clubs in the grid where you might spot a celebrity, but expect to pay high prices.
13. Where can you hit Chair 5, stay to the skier's left, and take The Plunge, Satisfaction or In the Mood (three of my favorite powder-filled runs on this mountain)? Enjoy a very modest aprés ski beer at the cafeteria-style lodge, then dodge the traffic coming out of the Eisenhower Tunnel as you merge onto the highway.
14. Where can you hike to the Upper East Wall and the North Pole for some of the sickest extreme in-bounds chutes in Colorado? No need to worry about resting, as you'll get pleny of rest on the 5 low-speed chairs at this mountain. Aprés-skiing is best done in the parking lot in the springtime.
15. Where can you ski during your work lunch hour if you live in Nederland, Colorado? (Assuming a bit of an extended lunch.)
