+Cash-n-Dash Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I love to ski this time of year , but I was wondering if there are any caches hidden at any ski resort that you can ski to find. If the ski resort is in within a national forest, would you have to get permission of the Forest Service or the ski area management? Quote Link to comment

I can't remember which area in colorado, but may be keystone or Brekenridge has caches on the ski runs.... Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) There are quite a few caches at Mammoth Mountain Ski area. Edited January 3, 2007 by Snoogans Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) There is one at the top of Stratton Mtn in Vt. Also one at the top of Ski Plattekill in NY and on the slopes of Belleayre Mt in NY. When I was skiing at Snowbird UT last season there was at least one on the mountain. I got to within 100 feet of it but the snow was way too deep for me to get there even with skis on. If the ski resort is in within a national forest, would you have to get permission of the Forest Service or the ski area management? That's a interesting question. A cache in a fully private ski area would require permission from the ski area management. But many ski areas or parts of ski areas are on forest service or BLM land. I think most reviewers would be OK with caches there as long as they complied with forest service/BLM rules, if any. Edited January 3, 2007 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

+Recdiver Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 There is one just off Steven's Pass in WA however I don't think you could get to it during the ski season since you'd probably be in the middle of a large group of skiers. Quote Link to comment

+go_pokes Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 At least one at Aspen. Five at Sunlight Mt. near Glenwood Springs, CO. Don't know about getting to them in the snow. Quote Link to comment
+MREAGLEWO1 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 hopefully there are no tb's in them especially the ones that are buried very deep there and cant get to them until the snow melts.... Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Look up the Denver Post they have an article about Caching at Keystone. And if you are physically able you can snowshoe to most of my caches in the backcountry. Just bring a metal detector and snow shovel. Quote Link to comment
+Super_Nate Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 This thread came up at a good time for me....I will be going to Colorado with my school to go skiing in March! I will be looking up the different caches on the ski runs here in the next couple weeks so that I can find them when I'm going down the runs. Good to know that their are actually caches on the ski runs....I don't know what I was thinking, but I had the mindset that wasn't allowed! Well forgive me, I'm from Tennessee! Quote Link to comment
