Right at the edge of town, that crappy ass wall next to the parking lot; totally vertical & shaded with no other marketable use

Bring more minions to the circus

Well?????

We could talk the casinos into creating an ice park. Imagine, they build a large window for viewing from Isle of Capri...pump water to the top of the wall forming WI-sick ice lines...climbers rope up and send...the gamblers place bets on who tops out, who falls etc....win win win!!!

Just hang some chain link fence and break a water pipe, done and done

An easier and more logical location is off the water fall across from Idaho Springs. Turning it into an ice park has come-up multiple times with little movement. They could pipe water along the clif and provide at least 15 different lines. The number 1 problem is that Clear Creek County is super ass backwards and against change.

Forget trying approaching Idaho Springs about an ice park.
I've done that very thing for a few years and to no avail. I've presented professional plans, with insurance etc only to be shut down by: A) chief of police B) major and C) City attorney general.

Farming and building an artificial icewall somewhere out of sight
is a much better option..........or farm ice that is in CCC but out of sight.

I think I like the Black Hawk idea best! It sounds like it would have the added benifit for the profit motivated casino's too.

That just my two though.

I never really got how water was getting diverted into the Coors Lite formations, it being a natural drainage and all. Is there a spring up higher? Too bad about the Boulder Canyon leaky pipes being fixed.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
