Colorado SnowMy name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts).
I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.

I’ve recently joined the smart group of folks at the North American Snowsports Journalists Association (more on that later) and this year their member directory, full of excellent travel and ski and snowboard writers plus organizations, has some sponsorship opportunities available. Since brands and resorts often reach out to me for ways to get in […]
I received a pair of Guideline Eyegear’s Alpine polarized sunglasses to try out this season1 and I’ve been really impressed. Build Quality When skiing I always carry a pair of goggles to the slopes and throw a pair of sunglasses in my pack to pull out when outside at lunch or driving or on a […]
There are plenty of good happy hours and après deals around the various resorts and towns. With some sleuthing you can find there are some good alternatives, though. I’ve posted a quick run-down of three tasting rooms in Breckenridge offering unique imbibing experiences. Read more about tasting rooms in Breckenridge at Breck Connection.
It costs resorts hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars in materials (water, air, pipes) and time (employees, machinery) and National Geographic Channel goes behind-the-scenes with “Snow Park Technologies” to show how world-class, high-intensity snow competition courses are constructed. Be sure to watch for the episode showing the build out of the Winter X Games […]
