Last year Park City Mountain Resort introduced an alpine coaster. This year, Vail Resorts is proposing to erect something similar at Adventure Ridge, its fun center at the top terminal of the gondola on Vail Mountain. The gravity-powered coaster would have steel rails that would carry two-person sleds on a 3,000foot long track down 300 vertical feet, reported the Vail Daily. The elevated coaster would be used in both winter and summer. Aspen Skiing Co. is also planning to expand its non-skiing amusements with an expanded terrain park for mountain boarding, a cross between mountain biking and snowboarding. The Denver Post says Colorado's Monarch Mountain is renegotiating its Forest Service use permit to include mountain biking. Allen Best has edited mountain town newspapers for 20 years. He has served as managing editor at four different mountain town newspapers and is now living in metropolitan Denver.
