With over 25 different ski resorts sprinkled throughout the state, picking a mountain to ski at can sometimes be overwhelming. Every mountain is unique and has something special to offer.

  • Are you a beginner looking for a resort with many novice trails suitable for adults or children? Look no further than Winter Park, Vail or Buttermilk. Though most mountains boast top-notch ski schools, these resorts stand out for having a decent amount of beginner terrain, usually with minimal traffic. Remember to keep beginners on trails that are marked with a “green circle” as this is the universal sign for beginner terrain.bgimage-1
  •    Are your family members advanced skiers looking for intense inbounds terrain? Check out Keystone, Telluride or Aspen Highlands.
  • Is the typical 9 am – 4pm skiing not enough for you? Keystone Ski Resort offers night skiing until 8 pm at night on most nights of the week! Be sure to bring extra layers as the temperature drops vastly when the sun goes down.Peak 1 Express Winter Shuttle Rates
  • Coming to Colorado on a budget? Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, and Ski Cooper are all lesser known mountains with discounted lift tickets. There is no lodging at these locations, just the bare minimums needed to have a fun day skiing, while remaining economic.
  • Is convenience your cup of tea? Both Aspen mountain and Vail mountain have airports located moments away from the mountain resort. Don’t waste time travelling and spend more time on the slopes by flying into these premiere resorts.
  • Are you more of a night owl or shopping fiend? Check out Breckenridge or Vail for their prime nightlife, excellent shopping, and choice dining.

Every mountain in Colorado is a different experience, but you can’t go wrong at any of the multiple mountains that are scattered throughout the state.
