WE LIKE

  • Highest ski area in Colorado making it very snow sure, it receives over 300 inches of snow each year.You can also ski another 4 top resorts on the one lift pass.
  • Great skiing, authentic atmospheric town, great apres ski and only a 2 hour transfer from Denver.
  • Good for all levels, gentle nursery slopes for beginners, excellent for intermediates and for experts runs names 'psychopath' and 'boneyard'!

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Despite the challenging runs the expert skier may find the black runs a little short.
  • Avoid if you can in January, the cold winds at the top of the mountain are freezing!
  • The altitude means you may spend the first couple of days 'out of puff' as you get used to it. Also a long haul from the UK.
