source lake uphill dog park trail

Last time I went up thattaway and over to the Snow Lake side, I was stunned/impressed to see how much it looked like we were still w/in lift-served terrain from how tracked out almost everything decent was. We scored some nice turns over on Roosevelt as the hordes we'd narrowly beaten out there were working their way up for the sloppy seconds. On the luge run out from Source Lake, I wondered how often there are head-on collisions on that stretch (even up above the exit from lift-served "backcountry" terrain). It was like playing a video game. Not my cup of white tea.

Day like today was my cup o tea. Nobody going up the down!
plenty of elbow room on the luge track outta the bc

Uphill traffic was out of control yesterday. Seems the Summit is losing control of part of their downhill controlled area to non revenue occupants. Yesterday there was uphill traffic on the actual groomed ski runs where children's lessons were being held. I sure hope an unleashed dog running uphill on the down luge doesn't get severely injured from an accident involving a backcountry card carrying skier or border.

What these guys are ranting about are real safety hazards. Someone could get hurt or hurt a dog running loose in crowded areas with skiers.

Maybe Glenn was implying that you don't really understand responsible pdog ownership?

Snowshoeing in the skin track is just annoying.

i encourage booters..dogs..snow shoers to use my skin track..other skinners too

don't need any more precious pow destroyed than nesseccary..

They are revenue occupants in the sense that they are members of the public and presumably pay federal taxes. The land Alpental operates on is, after all, owned publicly.

I feel ya though. Weekend crowds at ski area = suck. But that's not exactly unforeseeable or surprising.

Naive statement
The land Alpental operates on is covered by a SUP, which Ski Lifts Inc. pays the Fed for.
As such, they are responsible for all activity on said property within said permit area.
That means that they can close access at any time the like in the course of operating that business.
