Places To See & Things To Do
A Basin has the longest ski season in Colorado. It’s mid May and A Basin is still going strong with a 54″ base. Most of the expert runs have closed down, but there is still a lot to ski, including Montezuma Bowl. The snow is a bit heavy, given the higher temperatures, but still fun. [...]
Breckenridge is one of the busiest resorts in Colorado. The mountain features a variety of beginner terrain, bowl skiing and a mix of steeps and moguls throughout. The ski area tends to flatten out towards the bottom, so experts should ski the upper half. There are four peaks: 7, 8, 9, and 10, with a [...]
Keystone is the largest resort in Summit County with 3,148 skiable acres. On most weekends and select holidays Keystone offers night skiing. This is great because you can go up later on a Saturday and ski until 6pm or so, and avoid I-70 traffic. This is a short video of some afternoon clips from around [...]
Steamboat is known for it’s deep powder stashes and expansive tree skiing. This weekend Steamboat got around 15 inches, adding to an already deep base thanks to the previous weekend. It was fun skiing and snowboarding all around, with nothing but smiles. This video is only from a few runs in late afternoon. There’s not [...]
Vail is the largest resort in the state, at 5,289 acres. Epic Local Pass holders get 10 days to use between Vail and Beaver Creek. Yesterday we skied Beaver Creek, and today Vail. The mountain was nearly fully open, with about 5,000 acres. Parking at Vail is the only drawback which costs $25 for one [...]
Beaver Creek is a fun mountain, with lots of steep, fast runs. What’s nice about Beaver Creek over Vail, is free parking. The free lot has shuttles every 5-10 minutes. There is also paid parking in the village. The skiing at Beaver Creek is a mix of moguls and wide open groomers, with some tree [...]
Early season riding at Steamboat Springs was excellent as usual. Enough of the mountains and lifts were running, that it was great skiing. I took advantage of Steamboat’s Boat Launch Pass, which was 3 days for $99, to be used by Dec. 14th. Anytime Steamboat offers discounted lift tickets, it’s a good thing. They rarely [...]
The Rockies are off to a slow start this season, but that make’s for little crowds on the slopes and I-70. We began the day at A Basin and then went over to Keystone for night skiing. A Basin: The mountain is open top to bottom, but there’s only one run from the top. Keystone:Keystone’s [...]
Warm spring skiing and a free Keller William concert made for another great weekend in Steamboat Springs. Despite not being able to ski the lower mountain, conditions were still alright with plenty of long runs open on Storm Peak. Slushies for everyone!

Spring skiing at Winter Park was pretty good, considering the season so far. We avoided the Winter Park side of the mountain and skied on Mary Jane. There’s definitely a few obstacles out there, but the weather was perfect, so big deal. The Timberline Lift was open so you could access the top of Mary [...]
