Fair use rationale for Image:Loveland Logo2.jpg
Image:Loveland Logo2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Whats with the chair connecting the Basin and Valley?
I'm wondering if anybody knows why the chairlift connecting the valley is no longer in operation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.96.227 (talk) 04:53, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

That's Chair 5. I don't know if you've noticed the net going over Highway 6 - that was put in place to catch gear people would drop (accidentally or on purpose) from the chairlift. Every time something was dropped, the highway would have to be shut down to retrieve the dropped item because if the gear was left in the net it might get blown out of the net and onto a car during some of the high winds that come through there. The chairlift runs over a creek, so a lot of gear got lost in the creek too.

Another factor was the chairlift's route. The chairlift didn't let off somewhere that was easy to ski down from (I can't recall which side, this is what I was told by a longtime employee - I'll ask next time I'm out there) so people would end up riding it one direction and riding it back because they couldn't ski down. It was a long ride, and cold. The buses get people back and forth much more quickly and warmly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliceaitch (talk • contribs) 20:58, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

History and additional info
I've added information on the background of the Loveland Ski area as well as information on a couple of the clubs within the Ski area. I can't really say that I like the layout but I'm not sure what else to do. I find that the Statistics section provides useful information but perhaps it can be included in another way. Maybe I dont need the History subsections either. If someone has suggestions, I'd welcome it.Bgautrea (talk) 22:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Statistics and Infobox
I decided to remove the Statistics and consoldate it into the infobox. It was duplicate information and I made the infobox similar to the Whistler-Blackcomb example of a good article.Bgautrea (talk) 23:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Elevations
I've reverted the changes made by 208.50.251.218 but made some slight changes. The change was made to a base elevation of 9500 at Loveland Basin yet the Trail map shows the base elevation of ~10800 at the base of lift 1 which is at the Basin lodge. If citations can be made to the 9500' Elv, I'd be more than happy to accept. Another note of change was the vertical. The Trail map shows a vertical of 2410 yet the math of base to summit only works out to 2210 so i'm not sure what exactly to go with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgautrea (talk • contribs) 02:50, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
