Didn't mention the Valley. By far, the best Front Range beginner area. Completely separate from the more accomplished riders. Perfect for gaining confidence before going to the "big" mountain. And usually not a ton of peeps cuz it's not a "resort" so the out of state vacation peeps are usually elsewhere. The only other learner area I'd recommend would be Granby, but that's a lot further up the road.
Yeah, I was going to mention that. The main point to go to Loveland is to learn to ski without breaking the bank. Other places you have to (or should) purchase a $200+ lift ticket but Loveland Valley is only $50 for adults - which is a steal in comparison. I've been to both Keystone and Breck - both times my first-timers never got scanned so we were able to get refunds for those days - but this assumes you never leave the bunny slope. The Valley is great for beginner progression since they have some tame greens after the bunny slope. Keystone is like learning to swim in the deep end. The bunny hill is really good but Schoolmarm is very hard for a green (should be a blue) and super long (3.5 miles) - if you're still snowplowing - you're going to have a hard time.
I grew up skiing Loveland, and I totally love the place! There is probably a reason I ended up as a “skier dude” who loves big mountain terrain (and wind) 😂
Loveland is where I learned to ride. It makes me remember how it started every time I drive past it on the way to copper now. It has a special place in my heart.
Loveland is also really good for green skiers! There’s of course the Valley, which is GREAT for true beginners, but the Basin is in the upper echelon of ski areas if you want to ski reasonably pitched greens with its non-base-area green trails, some above timberline!
I learned how to ski at Loveland and I think this fact helped set up much better for going to other mountains and being prepared for to progress to blue runs.
Loveland's valley is the best place to learn. For less than the price of a lift ticket at some resorts you can get a private lesson with lift ticket and rental gear. Best of all the Valley is separate from the rest, so no mixing of beginners and skilled riders.
I went on my first snowboarding trip last winter and absolutely loved it. I’ve been following your channel ever since, and want to go snowboarding again for my birthday. I live on the east coast and am wondering if mid December is too early to go. We would probably go to a NC resort, but I know other resorts slightly further up are an option. If anyone can answer this question and provide their input I would very much appreciate it!
Mid December at the NC resorts likely isn’t a great idea. Most runs probably won’t be open. If you must go during that time try to go to snowshoe in WV or farther north to ny/Vermont/New Hampshire. NC resort become more viable around January
Hey dude. I am a seasonpass holder at Beech moutnain in NC. December is usually not great in NC I would recommend going to WV. North Carolina can get pretty good around mid January into February.
No jumps in the park??? that is lame. why not? most people like jumps more than rails. In the last two mountains where i worked in the terrain park you can see most people given the choice will take the jump line over the rail/box line.
I did Keystone last year. While I love the mountain, it was too intermediate for my family. They were unable to ski anything beyond the bunny slopes and I even found Schoolmarm rather challenging. We did Breck this year and it was so much better in every regard, especially base 9. Once the family and I are better skiers, we'll give Keystone another try. However, they do have the best snow tubing. We did both them and Frisco Adventure park in the same trip - both were fun but Keystone was simply another level.
@@goodridevibes Overall, I think the learning area at Breck's base 9 is the best. The bunny slope is very flat (too flat) - so Keystone's bunny is much better in that regard. But after that, Breck's learning slope serviced by a platter lift is great for mastering the basics. Then, it is an easy progression to a true green with the runs off the Quicksilver chair. I think most of these online reviews overlook beginners.
@@JasonTaylor-po5xc keep practicing my dude and you’ll be ripping blues and blacks in no time! If you ever see us on the hill, don’t hesitate to come get some laps on with us!
@@goodridevibes Thanks. I keep getting better each time. Last year was my first time in over a decade and before that was in my early teen years. But the fam really enjoyed it even being super new to it, so we are now considering relocating to Colorado. Not sure, it might still be cheaper to just fly out each year so we'll see.
Lol how wrong are you, I love this guy but wtf are you saying all ice not friendly towards kids. I took my two boys 10 and 8 after one other ski vacation and we went mid mountain and skied both the bowls top to bottom with no people and powder everywhere. Waaaay better than breck and as far as family, lift times, and money money money.
@@noah.mDepends, if you’re trying to do some travis rice kind of stuff take a trip to Silverton. Otherwise Crested Bute and A-Basin are probably your best options for diversity and fear factor.

50 days at Loveland last year. NO LINES ON A POWDER DAY. SO GOOD. If you hate lift lines and like steeps, bumps, and bowls, its the shiznit.

Loveland is where I learned to ride. It makes me remember how it started every time I drive past it on the way to copper now. It has a special place in my heart.
they got 1800 acres not 240 (that's probably just the valley) also bread bowls are amazing
240 is how many acres they use for snowmaking.
Brand new! I’m a native of Colorado and the ski resort has been around since I was a baby lol!! lol it opened in 1936😮😅😂❤

Thanks for the review, going out to Colorado soon and this is where we are going!
🤘🏼
You forgot to mention the tunnel where you can ride/ski under the hwy
I have never been able to ride it’s always been a walk though
Snow looks epic
This is my home mountain and it’s horrible… y’all don’t wanna come here… over priced… not enough runs… short runs… just don’t come! 😅
Listen to this guy it's terrible don't come 😉
@@MrMikebizzle1 see… this guy knows!
Literally the worst ski “resort” in Colorado. Barely any snow, straight ice in February. Lift 9 should be torn down.
Thanks for letting me know. I will now definitely go there soon
Lol good try…IM GOING TO BRING 50 busloads a day and trash the mountain! Oh and and we’re coming from Cali!!!
That’s a pretty great score compared to a lot of the other resorts!
I’m looking forward to improving my riding here this winter!
Loveland is where I learned it’s one of the best places for progression
I wonder what's a family friendly one in Colorado?
Breckenridge q
Where are you finding tickets for 89 I only see 149
This is on powalliant. Maybe housing affordability for the top ramen people should be a category. Lol. Does March have pow?
March has some of the best pow here
@@jgdovin1 TY
Love it! A ski area worth reviewing. Could you do some more of these bigger resorts. Mammoth? Great park there.

@@coolbean259 cool bean yoooo
Ok, thank you. Snowshoe was actually the other option we were looking at.

What is your setup for recording
They definitely have more than 240 acres there.
Loveland is not in Summit County. It is in mighty Clear Creek County.
The worst place on Earth. I am absolutely dreading being forced to board there 30+ times this season.
😂😂🤣

I considered Loveland for this years Denver trip as it is so close, but opted for Keystone this time around

@@JasonTaylor-po5xc Keystone’s blues over on the north peak are where it’s at for sure. Breck def has more wide open greens

update on pricing. its $120 now. $107 if you buy at least 3 days in advance
Lame!

Nice vid I’ve been trying to hit almost every ski resort in Colorado and love land is on my list
Quick question: Do you live in CO?
Yes I do
@@JohnathanBuckhouse That's awesome! Do you know what place has the best double blacks and blacks?
@@noah.mDepends, if you’re trying to do some travis rice kind of stuff take a trip to Silverton. Otherwise Crested Bute and A-Basin are probably your best options for diversity and fear factor.
