Berthoud ran the $10 day promo on midweek based on snow amounts. the more it snowed, the less money you paid for a ticket..... I think berthoud pass could run again, but would have to operate like Silverton does now. guided B/C.
What? Silverton does control work, and you can ski unguided.

they had just granted silverton the right to offer Non-guided runs. 2-3 years ago i think. There insurance carrier was the biggest obstacle, if i am not mistaken. they saved $$$ by allowing only guided tours the first few years.
I think B/P can survive that type of business. just hard to find $$$ backers to fund since it has always had a crappy track record of owners and operators.
also the private property lines that border so much of the B/C on the backside of the mtn hinder it. just my 2 cents

I can only wonder what the equipment revolution of the past few years has done to open up terrian previoulsy thought as unskiable. I know there were hearty souls willing to ski steeps on straight boards but with all of the fat skis, reverse sidecut, fantails and rocker the terrain once deamed untouchable is carved up daily. KD, have you been riding long enough to compaire the "then and now"?
