Never have seen the Stapleton Training Center, but if it’s superior to the Vail Golden Peak facility it must be really really good. On the Highlands Trail Map they are shading this area Blue Slope which I found curious.Yep, Golden Horn and Thunderbowl.
Base of the lift is right at the AVSC Clubhouse which is next to the High School. They have GREATLY improved snowmaking capacity there. It’s a great training venue. Norwegian men love it....in “normal years.”
And, as we have seen, Vail locals like MS and LV have preferred it to SSCV’s setup at Golf Peak in Vail. Not that it’s anything to sneeze at.
The steepest pitch at the Vail Golden Peak race area looks like it has a double fall line??Wonder if that’s a negative.
Anyway I am on that lift at Vail quite a bit when I am out there because I ski Riva Tourist Trap a lot and ride the chairs instead of the Gondi .
Enjoy watching the kids run gates.
