HI!
I've had a GREAT week in Taos, but it's time to move North into Colorado. I'm looking for opinions and ski buddies for next week. Looks like good snow is forecast for all of CO, perhaps favoring the central mountains slightly. I will be in Jackson on 2/16 for Avalanche 1 with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides.
I'd also like to do a short, easy back country tour next week to see where my legs are at.
Options are:
1) Aspen - I'd need to stay in Basalt for any reasonable accommodations. I've been driving up to Taos each morning and could use a break from a 30-45 minute commute to the mountain. That said, I'd love to revisit Aspen and love the terrain. Best chance for pow.
2) Steamboat - A little better on accommodations and I love the town of Steamboat. My previous week in Steamboat saw bluebird skies and temps in the 40s. I'd like to ski this mountain with some fresh snow. ...and meet @Ron
3) Winter Park / Copper - Easiest option for accommodations with full kitchens and easy drives to the slopes. Also unlimited days on the IKON pass.
Any thoughts?
