Born and raised in Colorado started snowboarding in 1997 I got a season pass to eldora from middle school to high school, been bouncing from icon to epic after that. Hit me up if you wanna make a Video on the different Colorado race tracks. Spoiler alert High Plains Raceway is the best
Eldora gets crazy on the weekends, but the skiing can be great, especially during the week. Loveland Basin is a great place for beginners, zero mixing with better skiers.
How often do the free parking lots at Copper fill up? Never skied there and the season's passes are looking good but I don't want to get stuck with $50/day parking.
Since most people coming to Colorado fly in through DIA figured this would help. DIA is the closest international/major airport to the mountains. There are other small regional airports though that may be closer
There are small airports near Vail, Teluride, and Steamboat Springs. The options to get there non-stop are pretty limited. Flying into Denver is pretty convenient since its a major hub for United Airlines. Another major city with plenty of flights close to skiing is Salt Lake City. Most of the resorts near there are within an hour drive.
I’ll second Copper as a favorite. It’s where our family skis the most. It’s big enough to have really varied runs and some decent food options. It’s not so big that it’s crazy jammed with people though. It’s also close to the middle of Vail, Breck, and Keystone if you want to try a different place one day.
Not very informative. Nothing about the character of the mountains, and the driving times are innacurate, with all mountains “about an hour/little over an hour.” But thats simply incorrect. Keystone is at least 1:20, Copper is at least 1:30. No mention of time to get to trails? Loveland is 7min, breck 25min. Word?
Bruh good content. Visiting Denver in mid Jan and want to hit few slopes so thank you for being informative to the point of pricing and traffic
Appreciate it!
Lmk how it goes. Thinking about going to WP in Feb

I need to get up there more this year
Eldora dosent get very crowded on the weekends
If I go in late March expecting to go skiing/snowboarding are resorts open and still snow on the ground?
Yeah you'll be fine at most of them
How often do the free parking lots at Copper fill up? Never skied there and the season's passes are looking good but I don't want to get stuck with $50/day parking.
Usually fills up during the season, just have to get there early
Not sure if you'd be able to answer this, but are there any of the ski resorts that offer child care during the day other than Breckenridge?
I think Steamboat and Winter Park do but not sure about the others.
What's the best resort in Colorado?
Winter park
Is any one else surprised that eldora is 40% higher than a-basin?
Yes 😳
When I consider my burning hatred for I-70 on a powder day... No, it does not surprise me.
Why "closest to Denver"? Is that the closest airport to the mountains?

Which one is your favorite?
I personally like Copper

Idk the back bowls at winter park are so good
Its Mountains, not Moughens.
