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.
Vail Resorts (Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone) has announced their technology plans for the second iteration of their popular pass-based technology: EpicMix Photo. RFID-enabled passes I remember when resorts were first trying out RFID-enabled passes: the ones with the chips in them that, with special scanners, can be picked up when you get close to […]
Nerd thought: I’m amazed that, with all the visual design attention to detail, @EpicMix still has empty title tags throughout their entire website.
If you haven’t yet, upgrade your Rocky Mountain Super Pass or Winter Park/Mary Jane and Copper Mountain season passes before September 5, 2011. After that prices may go up. The Super Pass is a great deal at $409 for unrestricted skiing at Winter Park and Copper.
The folks over at Colorado Ski and Golf will also be hosting three weekends worth of deals. Similar to SNIAGRAB, SKI REX boasts potential savings of up to 75% on top gear including K2, Burton, DC, Line, Rossignol, Ride, Tecnica, Salomon, The North Face, Patagonia and more!
The 57th annual SNIAGRAB (bargains spelled backwards) returns this weekend (September 3, 2011). Participating locations in Colorado are: Boulder, Bowles, Colorado Springs, Denver Sportscastle, Fort Collins, Parker, and Park Meadows. Check the website to sign up as a VIP and get early access. The deals are pretty huge and only last a couple weeks (through […]
Next week, December 8 – 11, 2010, be sure to check out the Visa U.S. Halfpipe Grand Prix at Copper Mountain. You’ll get a chance to see snowboard Olympians and the halfpipe qualifying event for the upcoming World Championships.
I have a certain fondness for Breckenridge. When first leaning how to ski, it was at Breckenridge where everything finally “clicked” for me. One thing I don’t remember as a kid, though, was big crowds at Peak 8. In short: no new snow, no real good man made snow, so we took it easy.
Denver’s closest and most affordable ski resort, Echo Mountain, is opening the 2010 season this morning at 9 AM. Located only 45 minutes from downtown Denver, Echo has 85 acres of trails and terrain, three lifts, and is one of the few Colorado resorts to offer night skiing. Over the summer, Echo added a top-to-bottom […]
