As someone who recently moved to the East Coast of the US for work, I am no longer a short drive away from my mountain, and I am forced to try and "plan ahead" on my ski trips. Anyone have thoughts/experience on what is the best skiing a human can do as close as possible to the Denver or Salt...

Loveland is totally underserved in stoke - here’s a thread for the season. And it opens on Friday with the best early season terrain in CO. Here’s today, very close (Chair 1 on the left): Here’s the announcement.

I am hoping to seek feedback for planning our first trip out west. Background: husband and I avid skiers x 25+ years, average 20-30 days on snow per season, season pass holders at Cannon, other favs: Loon, Waterville, Bretton Woods, Killington, & Jay Peak. Our daughter is 12 and totally keeps...

It’s official! Arapahoe Basin is the first mountain to open this season. They announced that they will open THIS Friday, October 13th. Their website states that there is thin cover and no beginner terrain. It says, “You should expect: hidden and unmarked obstacles, variable and thin snow...

This is unlikely but would certainly be interesting. http://www.steamboattoday.com/news/officials-seriously-considering-1-lift-tickets-at-downtown-steamboat-ski-area/

Snow from last night with several inches more on the way.

I'm planning a 3 or 4 week trip from Upstate NY to Colorado in February and March. I would like to detour through Ontario to ski Mount Bohemia in the UP, but it adds 11 hours driving time to my trip. I could also detour to Snowshoe WV, and that adds only 5 hours to the trip. Both of those...

Loveland has started making snow. Meanwhile, 90 degress this last weekend in the upper Midwest

The last three years we've been driving from Florida to Montana and Steamboat was our first skiing stop. Nice mountain, cool town but a bit pricey at $219 each for a three day pass. This year our season pass at Whitefish includes 3 days of skiing at Loveland and we drive right by it! So the...

Planning my first trip out west to either Colorado or Utah. It will be my son (age 11) and I only. Planning to fly out on February 28th and return on March 4th. These dates align with the school calendar on some days he is out. He is an expert level snowboarder and I'm an expert skier. I'm...

I'll be there from February 4th to 10th (2018). I'm looking for a two bedroom place with a kitchen. I won't have a car, so walking/shuttle access is a must. I've talked to the folks at Stay Aspen Snowmass, looked on VRBO, checked out Expedia, etc. What I keep finding are a bunch of rentals...

And so....finally after years of trying to get out west (from the east) its going to happen. After a long time searching info and trying to decide I chose Telluride for a mid March trip. Hope I made the right decision. Mid march conditions? suppose to be realy good there. Crowds? not suppose...

I have been doing this for a few years now and really enjoy meeting up with fellow pugs. If you want to meet-up for some turns or a beer when you are at the Boat let me know. I am happy to give unofficial tours. I am not an employee of the resort nor an instructor so ski at your own peril...

Looking for the $149 non-transferable 3 Day pass to Steamboat. I know it was available at Christy Sports during Powder Daze, which is now over. Anyone in the Front Range know where else this might be sold? Thanks

I would welcome recommendations for a family ski trip (two adults and a nine year old) over the x-mas break (Dec. 25 - Jan. 1)? Our two priorities are few crowds and direct flight from NYC / no more than 1-2 hour drive from local airport. Decent conditions/terrain would be nice as well :)...

i am looking at taking a spring break trip with my daughter. This will be her first ski trip out west. We are both advanced skiers. I am pretty open to anywhere inside the US. I just want to find the place that will have best coverage and value. I've been to Keystone and think that would be nice...

I'm thinking of bringing my 10 year old son out for his first western ski trip. With flights as cheap as they are to DEN right now, I'm thinking of Winter Park. The 4-pack is $179. It's the last of the major resorts in the Denver area i haven't been to. In order to gain the benefit being an...

Ok, so I hate these kinds of questions but there's a wealth of knowledge here... So second week of December, who has good snow ( I know I know..) and decent terrain? Has to be ski-in/ski-out, price isn't a huge issue and, most importantly, a toddler has to be entertained for this week...

Well, it's snowing. Yea, it's the monsoon, but I had a fire lit yesterday during the day. Plus it snowed right after we skied on Sunday. #imaginarypolesareultralight Since we could have been skiing while it snowed, it's officially next season. Game = on.
