Winter Park, CO vs. Alma, CO

[edit]

As we have begun discussing on Extreme points of the United States, there is a argument over whether WP or Alma is the highest town in the US. Winter Park would be higher because of the recent annexing of Winter Park Resort into the town. The ski area goes all the way up to aprox 12,000ft. That clearly makes WP higher.

Alma CO is 1t 10,000 + feet - making it far higher than Winter Park. It is the highest point in the contenental US.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.133.100.133 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 22 August 2006. The Alma, Colorado and Winter Park, Colorado articles both make the claim that they are highest. Per the Winter Park article, it recently annexed a ski resort making it higher. It's not clear which is correct. But right now both articles claim each is the highest....Derek Balsam 23:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I just upped Alma's altitude by 6 feet, using USGS data[1]. It's approximate, but it's cited, and it's not that far from the previous value. I also note that Alma's sign, from a picture on the new external link, says 10,578 feet - much higher! -- Ken g6 21:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With the recent leasing of the summit of Mt.Bross by the town of Alma, in order to secure access to our precious "14ers", have we not settled the debate with our 14172' playground? Alma rocks! Respectfully, the Commish.4.164.204.201 02:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
