General Comments/Likes

Great race training hill with some of the best snowmaking I had ever seen, even in the late 70’s.

Lighted runs. On “Corkscrew” they had two “pro-bumps” that they would tweak into rollers which made for some very exciting slalom runs.

Awesome, classic base lodge.

Dislikes

Boulder Canyon was a pain in the ___ to drive.

The often experienced high winds made for some very cold nights, but on the other hand, it also made Eldora a very unique place to train.
