Whitecap Mountains Resort的点评
点评:OK I would like to give this ski area of five star rating but there are still several areas where there needs to be much improvement in order to give that that rating.Seems they have not changed their snow report online three days and also with the mild weather the day or two previously and refreezing they certainly should’ve had a groomer out to make the trails a little smoother because it was quite rough.
Besides Lutsen this is one of the few Midwest areas where you need to use a trail map to find your way around. One of the major improvements is they put up all new brand new trail signs unfortunately did not put arrows on the signs to let you know exactly where to go.
The ski area has one of the most bizarre chairlifts in North America according to ski bum and that used to go but it still does go from the north pole to the South Pole and continuous line with drop offs on ravens roost and also Eagles nest was a big valley in between as of the last couple years they will not let you ride all the way through so there’s much cross country skiing involved in getting to Eagles nest where the steep stuff is in the south pole end of the chair.
The new ticket booth in rental area is nice after the old one burned down a few years ago and it was quite easy just to get your ticket to which I bought and I encourage you to buy online early for a discount. The old white cap lodge still serves food and beverages starting at 11 AM and my buddy and I both had a prime rib taco salad which was absolutely fantastic for $13.
Yes the chairlifts are very old actually over 50 years but they are made by a very good reputable company called hall which are still all over the country and one of the top manufacturers back in the 60s. There’s a another lift that the cables down and the chairs are off in between the long chair and the double Borvig right near the Wine hut which was a CTEC so that should be cleaned up and there are remnants of a t bar also. The wine hut was closed on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 unfortunately.
All in all my buddy and I had a great time wandering around and reminiscing about the golf experience my wife and I had here four years ago which incidentally runs right throughout the ski area and that was when the original owner had it Dave Lundgren passed away in the last few years that was quite an experience in and of itself. But finally I got to ski this most unique area and I encourage everyone to try it preferably in prime conditions in February before the freeze thaw cycle starts.
翻译:好吧,我想给这个滑雪场五星级的评级,但仍有几个地方需要改进才能给予该评级。似乎他们三天都没有在线更改他们的降雪报告,而且温和前一两天的天气和重新冻结他们当然应该有一个美容师让小径更平滑一些,因为它非常粗糙。
除了 Lutsen,这是中西部为数不多的几个需要使用路线图来寻找路线的地区之一。其中一项重大改进是,他们设置了所有全新的路标,不幸的是,他们没有在路标上放置箭头,让您确切知道该去哪里。
根据滑雪爱好者的说法,滑雪区拥有北美最奇异的升降椅之一,过去曾经使用过,但它仍然从北极到南极,连续不断的线路在乌鸦栖息地和老鹰巢上下车是一个过去几年之间的大山谷他们不会让你一路骑行,所以有很多越野滑雪才能到达鹰巢,那里陡峭的东西位于椅子的南极端。
租赁区的新售票亭在几年前旧售票亭被烧毁后很不错,很容易拿到我买的票,我鼓励你早点在网上购买以获得折扣。旧的白帽旅馆从上午 11 点开始仍然供应食物和饮料,我和我的伙伴都吃了一份上等的肋骨炸玉米饼沙拉,13 美元的价格绝对棒极了。
是的,升降椅实际上已经有 50 多年的历史了,但它们是由一家名为 hall 的信誉良好的公司制造的,该公司仍然遍布全国,是 60 年代的顶级制造商之一。还有另一个电梯,电缆向下,椅子在长椅和双人 Borvig 之间,就在 Wine hut 附近,这是一个 CTEC,所以应该清理干净,还有一个 t 酒吧的残余物。不幸的是,葡萄酒小屋于 2022 年 3 月 16 日星期三关闭。
总而言之,我和我的伙伴度过了愉快的时光,并回忆起我和妻子四年前在这里的高尔夫体验,顺便说一句,它正好贯穿整个滑雪场,当时它的原主人 Dave Lundgren 去世了过去几年本身就是一次相当不错的经历。但最终我得以在这个最独特的地区滑雪,我鼓励大家最好在 2 月份冻融循环开始之前的最佳条件下尝试滑雪。
