Ive stayed at Waldorf a bunch of times and so I have a sense of distance. But in the winter time, the road from Hyatt Place up towards Waldorf seem kind of icy and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of space for pedestrians when snow is piled up in the side of the road. Doesn’t look that safe, but I’ve never actually done it. Is the shuttle really the only option after all?
Btw the manager James Allred… his responses to Hyatt.com reviews are so short and almost sound condescending. Doesn’t seem like he takes customers’ opinions seriously.
Not sure how long ago your experiences on this are... but in the last couple of years they have built a sidewalk (very wide one, part of the Millennial Trail network) that goes the length of Copper Lane (the road between the two properties). That road is a little steep (not a lot steep), just enough that I won't walk up it in ski boots (I live near the bottom of the road). As for coming him, when there's sufficient snow I do ski (some poling, some coasting) along side of the road to get next to the HP.
No way I would walk in either direction to the Cab, but to the Gondola ok (but note, the Gondola doesn't operate regularly, they are too cheap to operate it in summer and this week it was down from a day or two for mechanical purposes - same as Tombstone and Saddleback lifts, so amateur).
