Njalo ngonyaka, i-Arapahoe Basin inesikhathi eside kakhulu sezindiza eNyakatho Melika
Inkathi ye-Ski ayisethiwe etsheni. Uma uhlela i-Colorado ski vacation, kuyasiza ukwazi ukuthi izindawo eziningi zokupaka zezindiza ziwela ngaphakathi kwewindi elijwayelekile: NgoNovemba-kuhamba ngo-Ephreli-ish. Iningi livame ukuvula kamuva ngoNovemba noma ekuqaleni kukaDisemba, futhi bazama ukuhlala bevulekile isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka. Kodwa leyo festile iqala ukuvala ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli lapho ukushona kwelanga kuqala ukuqhaqhazela iqhwa.
Ubusika obusika ngezinye izikhathi bungadlulisela isikhathi sezulu, noma kunjalo.
Isibonelo, i-Purgatory Resort eningizimu yeColorado, evame ukuhlotshaniswa neDurango (noma ngabe ingamakhilomitha angama-30 ukusuka), ikhethe ukwandisa isizini sayo sezulu kulo nyaka, ngenxa yeqhwa. Lemezele ukuthi luzosusa usuku lwalo lokuvala kusukela ngo-Ephreli 7 kuya ngasekupheleni kuka-Ephreli 30. Abagibeli bezintaba, okufana noKhisimusi ngesikhathi sasekuseni.
Kuyinto engavamile ukuba izindawo zokubhuka zezindiza ziguqule izinsuku zabo phakathi nenkathi, ngakho gcina amehlo akho kumawebhusayithi okubhuka ukuze uthole izimemezelo ezingase zibe nomthelela osukwini lokugcina lokuphumula kwephunga lokuphumula. Ngokuvamile, izindawo zokungcebeleka zezindiza zizomemezela izinsuku ezinwebile ngasekupheleni kukaMashi noma ngasekupheleni kwenkathi yabo, uma ziqaphela ukuthi iqhwa lizohlala isikhathi eside kunalokhu lihlelwe.
Isizini sika-2016-2017
Ngenxa yeqhwa elithile elingaphezulu ngasekupheleni kwenkathi, ngo-2017, izindawo eziningi zokungcebeleka eColorado zandisa le nkathi. Izindawo zokuhlala ezivaliwe ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli zazihlanganisa i-Buttermilk, iTelluride, i-Crested Butte ne-Beaver Creek.
I-Copper Mountain, i-Steamboat, i-Keystone ne-Snowmass yandisa isikhathi sazo phakathi no-Ephreli. I-Vail, i-Breckenridge ne-Aspen yandisa isikhathi sazo ngo-Ephreli 23 kanye noMary Jane e-Winter Park kuze kube ngo-Ephreli 30. Loveland ski resort yahlala ivulekile kuze kube sekuqaleni kukaMeyi.
Isizini sika-2017-2018
I-Colorado evulekile ukuvula ngo-Okthoba yi-Arapahoe Basin neLoveland.
Ukuvulwa kwenkathi kusukela ngoNovemba yi-Aspen, iCopper Mountain, i-Crested Butte, i-Eldora, i-Howelsen Hill, i-Monarch, i-Purgatory, i-Snowmass, i-Steamboat, i-Winter Park ne-Wolf Creek.
Hlola emuva kwesikhathi lesi sizini ukuze uthole izibuyekezo ezandisweni ze-Colorado resort. Futhi, thola umbiko weqhwa lapha, ohlinzeka ngama-daily-to-day akhawunti we-snowfall, ukujula kwesisekelo, ukuphakamisa ama-open, ama-acre evulekile nezinye izimo zezulu. Ungabuka i-webcams ngayinye ye-ski resort ukuze uhlole izimo, nawe. (Noma uphuphe ngakho kusuka kude njengoba uhlela.) Lena futhi indlela enhle yokubona ukuthi yiziphi izindawo zokudlela ezipakishwe ukuzama ukugwema imigqa.
Yisiphi Isiqhingi Sokuhlala Esikhathini Esiyisikhathi Eside Kakhulu?
I-Arapahoe Basin iyaziwa ngenkathi yayo yokuphumula yesikhathi eside, eyenza ukuthi ukuvalwa kukaMeyi ekuqaleni kukaMeyi kubonakale kungabonakali. A-Basin, njengoba kubizwa ngokujwayelekile ihlala ivulekile kuze kufike ngoJuni.
Ivula imithambeka ngaphambi kweminye indawo yokubhuka, futhi, kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-Okthoba. Lokhu kunganikeza okungaphezulu kwenyanga yebhonasi isikhathi se-ski ekupheleni kwangaphambili nangaphezulu kwezinyanga ezimbili ngemuva kokuphela.
Akusiyo kuphela ukuthi i-A Basin ihlinzeka nge-ski ne-ride isikhathi eside kunazo zonke ze-Colorado, kodwa ithi ihlinzeka isikhathi eside kunayo yonke eNyakatho Melika.
I-A Basin, ehlala kwi-Continental Divide eSommit County, ngokuvamile ibona iqhwa elingaphezu kwama-intshi angu-350 njalo ngonyaka, elihumusha kwezinye zezindiza ezinhle kunazo zonke emhlabeni (futhi ezinye zezinkathi ezinzima kakhulu ezungeze).
Indawo yase-A-Basin ihamba cishe emahektha angaba ngu-1 000. Vuka phezulu phezulu nge-chairlift esheshayo; le nhlangano ibamba ngamamitha angu-13,050 ngaphezu kolwandle. Bese ukhetha emigwaqeni engaphezu kuka-100 ukuze wenze indlela yakho phansi.
I-Montezuma Bowl engamahektare angu-400 yandisa kakhulu indawo yokudoba lapho kuvuliwe khona ngenkathi yonyaka ka-2007. Uzothola lokhu ngemuva kwe-A-Basin, futhi igcinelwe ama-skiers aphakeme kakhulu. Izigijimi ezingu-36 ziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, omnyama nomabili omnyama, okwenza i-A-Basin ibe umdwebo wabantu abashonile nabashusayo. Njengoba isizini eside se-A-Basin, singakwazi ukulungisa indlela eya ehlobo . Akumangalisi isidlaliso se-Arapahoe Basin "yiLendabuko."
