LBR, glad to hear that you'll be there again this year.  I initiated myself to string making with your discounted BCY last year.  Very happy with your suggestions and my results.  Need some more BCY.  See you at Denton.

I'll be arriving on Monday evening for a good camping spot. Will be shooting the courses with two granddaughters. Wife will be hanging with us.

I heard the lifts WILL be running.

Checked bags are in a cool section of the plane. No worries there

Temps at the altitude commercial planes fly is very cold--no problems with them getting too hot.

Apparently I heard wrong. The Facebook page says "the state has final say, but the foundations had a lot of movement last winter". My granddaughters really enjoyed riding them two years ago.

thank you guys for the ride offer but with my job I'm very last minute and its hard for me to meet up with anyone, I'm that guy that tells everyone "if I'm not here by that time head out without me"  I heard the lifts will not be running and there is a typo somewhere that says prices for 2016 ETAR Chairlifts so ignore it.

I'll be there Friday and again on Sunday! I'm fortunate to only live 1.5 hours away.

Last year the lifts were not running because they were unsafe and Denton Hill's bank account was seriously hurting, making it impossible to repair the lifts...I'm assuming that situation hasn't changed.

For all parties close by, there is a "shooters shoot" version going on this weekend at Sawmill Ski resort, about 30 minutes away from Denton. They originally purchased the lease for this shoot 15 years ago when they feared they would lose the shooting rights for ETAR. When that didn't happen, they decided to just have both. Really no vendors here, just tons of shooting.

The lifts should be running at Sawmill all weekend this weekend for anyone looking for some fun and awesome views  :)

Thanks, Guys!

I'm having a little trouble reaching the folks at Denton to confirm my vendor booth, but hopefully it will work out.

Wow! It's time to start getting ready for Denton Hill. We will be in the second tent with some of our stuff. Hope to have a good supply of our newest bow quivers, armguards, etc. It's a great event and Karen and I look forward to seeing you there.
