I’ve become much better at snowboarding over the past few seasons, but the T-Bar at Breckenridge can still give me pause. Getting up to the top…
I had the chance to drive a 2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS AWD for a week. As any self-respecting snow blogger, I took the opportunity to take it…
Often receiving the most snow in Colorado (by far), Wolf Creek Ski Area is located near Pagosa Springs. With over 1,600 acres and 465 annual inches, Wolf Creek is a hidden gem on the western slope.
Check out what’s going on around the various resorts in Ski Country over at the Hub, a new site dedicated to pulling in all the blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and video content from around the state.
On March 25 and again on March 31, Wolf Creek is offering lift ticket specials for college students. On these two days, students can purchase a ticket for $33.00 with a current student photo ID. On March 28, locals can take advantage of Locals Appreciation Day to hit the slopes for only $33.00 adult lift…
Lots of new snow since yesterday! Double digit highlights: Vail, Aspen, Buttermilk, Crested Butte, Steamboat, Wolf Creek.
If you didn’t get last weekend’s Sunday Post then you’re in luck: the Denver Post has published it’s 2011 ski guide. It’s a nice overview of most of the CSCUSA spots across the state with pass pricing, location, lifts, and other vitals. If you’re looking to bone up and learn more about Colorado’s gems, check out the guide.

As usual, here’s your round up of this seasons opening days across the state. We’re nearly through October and there are already three resorts open. Check below to find when the others will open up. Any changes (early opens! fingers crossed) will be posted here and on the events calendar. Updates If you aren’t already,…
In case you missed it last week, the underrated Wolf Creek (often receiving the most snow in Colorado by far) was the first resort to open the Colorado season. This comes ahead of the usual “race to open” by Arapahoe Basin and Loveland in Summit County. Worth noting that last season Wolf Creek wasn’t able to open until November.
Roughly 1,500 skiers and snowboarders made the trip for opening day with three lifts open and a snow depth of 35 inches at the summit. They’ll re-open this weekend (October 15th and 16th).
Kudos to Wolf Creek.
Just like Vail Resorts School of Shred, Colorado Ski Country also offers “Passports” for free and discounted skiing at member resorts for local 5th and 6th graders. Both passports offer at least three days of skiing or snowboarding at each of their 21 member resorts. For 5th graders the pass is free and for 6th graders, its a very reasonable $99.
We had a re-introduction to snow a few weeks ago as the season was first opening but now the real stuff seems to be headed in waves (hopefully). Last night provided up to a half foot or more in much of Summit County including Keystone and about 7 inches at Copper and Wolf Creek. Forecasters…
If you weren’t one of the lucky that played hookie today to get in some opening day runs, then be sure to head up to the newly opened resorts this weekend. Two of the biggiest resorts, Copper Mountain and Keystone opened their seasons to crowds. Wolf Creek is now opening for the season, too. Worth…
Welcome to the 2010 ski and snowboard season in Colorado! Opening just days after the first resort to open* in North America, Loveland Ski Area has claimed the “first to open” title here in Colorado: Sunday, October 24, 2010. Following a day behind is, of course, Arapahoe Basin on Monday, October 25, 2010. Loveland and…
Well, I said I wasn’t going to do it this year but I did. Frankly, I’m annoyed with 1) resort websites that don’t have their opening day listed front and center (not even CSCUSA) and 2) other websites claiming dates that are flat out incorrect. So, I have hand-verified each of the dates listed below…
The economy is in the toilet, we get it. Jobs are scarce, understood. These days we are all having to make tough decisions about where to spend our already limited discretionary dollars.
That said, Colorado has nearly a half million skiers and riders living in the state, and having world class skiing and riding in our back yards is one of the reasons many of us live here. That’s why this year, Colorado Ski Country resorts are working hard to come up with creative ways to make it easy to get some good skiing in this winter.
Devin wrote a great guide to all the most frequently used and best known passes in Colorado, but there are also a lot of great deals that you might not be aware of. Below are a few more passes that you may want to check out. Monarch This resort may be a bit out of…
The winter storm that wrecked havoc in California seems to have moved its way to Colorado. Aspen and Vail are expected to have 10 inches of new snow by Tuesday morning while Silverton and Wolf Creek are reporting snowfall amounts as high as 42 inches over the weekend. While this may seem like good news,…
