Chairty-Jane serves green runs, but it was never about opening more beginner terrain. It's about making it easier to ski that terrain. Before Charity was around, if you wanted to ski horse shoe bowl or any of that terrain to the left, you ended up skating forever to get back to alberta. This also makes it easier on ski patrol to get around on that side of the mountain. Now why they decided to spend the money on a detachable lift there is beyond me. Nice vide, though!

Thanks for the guide! I will be going to wolf creek in a month or so, and wanted to know the tree skiing routes. I used to snowboard every day when I was younger and lived next to a small resort, but haven't snowboarded in 14 years. I remember going to wolf creek and loving the narrow tree paths, and was hoping to find those kind of routes again.

Take Alberta up, head to your left, and take your pick! They're all over the place.

If you're skiing down horseshoe bowl, do you have to ride Charity Jane to get back to Alberta lift?

@SRGSkiing Жыл бұрын

If you stay high and left, I think it's possible to get to Alberta, but I'm not too sure. If you end up at Charity Jane, it's a really short ride and ski back to Alberta

@DRockDreamin Жыл бұрын

Thats the real reason for Charity Jane.... easy access back to Alberta

During bad weather with snow on US-160, is it easier driving to Wolf Creek from Pagosa Springs or South Fork?

@SRGSkiing 5 ай бұрын

From the east. So I suppose South Fork

what’s the best run for someone going to wolf creek the first time? or your favorite run?

@SRGSkiing 4 ай бұрын

Deoends on your skier level, but my personal favorite is Abracadabra

@AlishahJamal94 4 ай бұрын

one question that just popped into my mind is how long it takes to get from alberta lift to horseshoe and voodoo bowl area?

@SRGSkiing 4 ай бұрын

About 40 minute hike to Horseshoe, a little longer for Voodoo

@AlishahJamal94 4 ай бұрын

@@SRGSkiing great, thanks for the quick reply. is it mostly all hiking? and i heard that there was a ride that takes ppl out on towards horseshoe from the top of the ridge somewhere, any truth to that?

@SRGSkiing 4 ай бұрын

The hike starts with a metal staircase up to Knife Ridge Chutes. From there, you can ski a little ways along the ridge and then there is sometimes a snowcat from Dog Chutes that will take you the rest of the way. I'm not sure on the consistency of the cat though.

BOY do we disagree on Chairty Jane! When I go to Wolf Creek we get to Charity Jane and spend all day there, riding the little chair lift and doing short runs over and over again. The absence of crowds there is awesome. Thanks for the guide, though!

@SRGSkiing Жыл бұрын

Oh I'm not denying that it's empty. My point is that if you're a true green skier who doesn't ski blues, you can't even get to CJ. It's nice to get away, but its purpose as a beginner pod is defeated

@bramres 5 ай бұрын

@@SRGSkiing If you skate past the bathrooms at the bottom of Alberta, you can ski/ride down to Charity Jane. We bring kids and beginners over there pretty regularly. It's maybe 100 yards of skating and then you have enough of a grade to get down. It's worth it if Raven is busy at all and you have beginners that don't want to worry about getting clobbered

@SRGSkiing 5 ай бұрын

The problem is just getting to the bottom of Alberta on a green in the first place. There is that road, but it's technically a blue somehow.

@bramres 5 ай бұрын

@@SRGSkiing I never noticed that they have A-Way colored blue before. That's about as green a run as it gets. You can get super beginners down there, no problem. Want to second the fact that Charity Jane was built as a jumper lift, not to get more green runs on the mountain. They used to run a snow cat to drag skiers out of there. The best terrain on Alberta all ends at Charity Jane Great video, man! It's a really strong overview of the mountain for anyone visiting

@SRGSkiing 5 ай бұрын

I will say that given this new Tumbler lift, it would make sense that maybe with CJ they were trying to knock out two birds with one stone. Because I do wonder the merit of building a super short detachable as a connector lift instead of replacing Alberta itself. But yeah, I see what you mean about it being a connector lift.
