July 26, 2007
Hello, Tim!
New Lift: Olympic Express
Our mountain crews have started the construction process on Olympic Express, our new high-speed, detachable quad on the Nevada side.

The first thing the operations crew needed to do was take down the existing lift. This video shows them taking down the chairs:

When all is said and done, Olympic Express will be 3,533 feet long with an 866 foot vertical rise. The lift is expected to be completed for a December 7 opening.

    Inside Scoop
    TOP 5 WILDFLOWER VIEWING SPOTS

    1. Beaver Creek- Take the Spruce Saddle loop trail for incredible vistas full of red Indian Paintbrushes, Purple Columbine, and Indigo Lupine. Don't forget to look up and marvel at the views of the Gore Range as well.
    2. Breckenridge- Drive south out of Breckenridge on U.S. 9 about 2.4 miles from the last light. Turn right on Spruce Creek Rd. and proceed for about 1.2 miles to a well marked Crystal Lakes parking area and trailhead. This hike starts just below timberline and will take you through lush alpine meadows teaming with wildflowers from June through September.
    3. Heavenly- From the top of the Gondola hiking trails, you can view an abundance of wildflowers. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are known for their wildflower varieties and beauty. Viewing can be done from any of our three hikes.
    4. Vail-Wildflowers abound near Vail. Try the top of Eagle's Nest around the Wedding Deck, the Betty Ford Alpine Garden, the top of Shrine Pass off of Vail Pass, the Grand Traverse Mountain Bike ride on Vail Mountain or Piney Lake.
