I’m trying to think about my options to get to/from the slopes and whether HP is going to work out. We’re renting skis. Usually do it at that Aloha next to Waldorf Gondola. They do ski valet but I’m not sure they’d keep your boots also and, even if they did, that’s a really small place to be gearing up at in the morning. Plus I understand the shuttle from HP goes to Canyons Village not Frostwood, so that Aloha wouldn’t work for taking shuttle to the mountain in the morning even though it’s convenient for walking back from Waldorf base on the way back to HP. I guess the other option is to just do paid garage at Canyons Village each day and then rent skis in one of the big shops up there.[/QUOTE]

Actually, it's Cooper Ln I think (I frequently get it wrong).
I walk slow, and for someone with kids... 10-15 minutes sounds better.
The sidewalk is new, only built after they completed the golf course (actually a year or two later as they completed other landscaping) - so maybe three years ago? The Millennial Trail runs from KJ all the way into Old Town.

I can't believe the HP Shuttle wouldn't drop you at Aloha (or the traffic circle) on its way up to the upper base, especially if you tip the driver.
There's also a High Valley Transit free shuttle (just put in service this summer, totally new) and you can download that app - it works like Uber but it's frequently not available and thus not reliable.
