I just heard thru the grapevine that some coworkers did some work for a carpet hill in Castle Rock a while back, perhaps even years ago, but it seems to not have taken off or maybe quietly in the works. Anyone heard of this project?

I need to finish the month of September to ski every month of the year and I have waited too long in this month so I’m wondering if anyone has first hand experience at recent snow patches and can advise me I would really appreciate it. Looking for hopefully at least a couple turns. Probably don’t want to go more that 6-7 miles round trip with gear. Thanks!

Hey folks, I'm heading to Keystone for a snowboarding trip in mid November. Only problem is I haven't touched a snowboard in like 30 years. I'm keen to not be a burden on my group, and get a private lesson to get up to speed a bit. The lessons from the resort seem pretty expensive ($800+). Anyone got any tips or contacts for a more cost effective lesson? I'm happy to pay of course. Any advice appreciated!

Skied the Andrew’s Glacier today, I’ve never had powder turns in September before

When does Imperial open?

I have two free days the week of thanskgiving this year. What would people recommend for some early season? Copper? Breckenridge? Should i expect any appreciable difference in the experience that early? Obviously November snow is a gamble.

Hey y'all!

I'm an intermediate skiier (blues, pretty comfortable with blacks unless there are bumps). I would like to improve my downhill skiing this season and am wondering whether multi-day or week-long ski camps exist for adults.

I've done a lot of Googling, but I'm really just finding kids camps.

Don't they know us adults could benefit from ski camps as well? 😜

If you know if any camps that fit the bill, I'd love to know. Thank you in advance!

My name is Peter. I live in Boulder, and my best friend is moving to Denver so I’m looking around to make new friends. I snowboard Breckenridge mostly (epic pass). I’m a solid blue some black diamond snowboarder. I usually drive up for first chair and leave before traffic. I also supply some really good whiskey usually! Sometimes breakfast burritos too! Looking to maybe grab a beer and see if we can be friends before the season starts! Dm or reply in comments!

Want to get into skiing in denver have Mondays and Tuesdays off. The only public transit I can find is winter express but it seems to only run on weekends. Am I missing something? The internet seems to be telling me no.

Secondly does anyone know the vest close slope if you were to drive?

Hi folks. Getting ready to sign up my son for a multi-week lesson plan to get his ski career kick-started. He's also doing a few lessons at Shredders this fall. I'm trying to decide between Eldora and Winter Park.

Both are 4 week lessons. Winter Parks are all day (6 hours) and include lunch. Eldora is 2.5 hours. either morning or afternoon.

Winter Park offers an early season (December) option Saturdays or Sundays for $674. I like that it's all day and offered early in the season so we could take what he learns and build on it ourselves for the majority of the ski season. Of course, he may get tired/bored and not last the whole day.

Eldora's lessons don't start until January. If we did it there I'd probably take him out of preschool early and do Friday afternoons or something like that for $539.. We live in Golden so Eldora is also the most convenient option to get to.

Any thoughts? Experiences with either program?

We know the season is just around the corner, and we’re excited to share that we’re in the process of building a new mobile application called SnowOverflow. Our goal is to make finding new ski buddies and organizing your ski trips easier and more enjoyable—especially for folks in this community.

We’d love to hear from you! Please comment below with any features you’d like to see in the app. What would make your ski trips smoother, more fun, or more connected?

Additionally, if you have a few minutes to spare, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could take this online survey(https://forms.gle/cakTwAR3tuMmeasR8) to provide more structured feedback. Your input will be invaluable as we shape SnowOverflow to best serve your needs.

Thanks so much, and looking forward to hitting the slopes with you all!

My daughter is 20 and is a good general mountain (no park) snowboarder. She would love to have someone to ride with. We are in Denver and mostly do one of the Epic passes but occasionally do the Ikon. We haven't bought passes yet so kind of open. We usually try to plan a trip in the spring for 4-5 days to somewhere we haven't been (Park City last year, Telluride a couple of years ago).

Hi all! My wife, daughter (2) and I are looking at a ‘snow getaway’ for a few days in Colorado. We’re from Australia, but currently living in Dallas for a few years, and want to have a snow holiday before we head home. We would like to spend 4 nights in mid February (around Washington’s birthday/President’s day) up in the CO Rockies and looking for recommendations of which ski field/resort/town to stay at. We are currently thinking of either Keystone or Breckenridge.

We would not be looking at skiing/snowboarding at all, more so looking at family friendly activities (tobogganing, snow tubing, building snowmen, general snow play etc)

We would also like a place with easy access activities, restaurants and if possible, a small market for food/basic supplies (walking or shuttles). Looking at spending no more than about $2000 for lodging.

I have significantly discounted rates available to me for an Epic pass if that would also be worth it for a single trip this 24/25 season.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - we’re snow rookies and want to make sure we aren’t disappointed!

Planning a ski trip from 12/21-25 and will be flying out on Christmas Day around 5pm. Would we be able to ski Keystone that morning? Thinking we’d ski until around 11am or 12pm (and check the traffic on Google maps around that time.) But have heard some warnings about traffic due to construction on the highway and the holidays.

I am looking to upgrade my boots this season. I’ve only had one pair up until this new pair I’m going to get. Is it normal for boots to be insanely uncomfortable? My k2s fit snug which is what I want. But they literally make my lead foot lose feeling or cause, what I would consider unbearable pain. I have a high pain tolerance, but fuck they really make riding unenjoyable. Is this normal or do I need to be extra picky when buying my next pair?

Not looking for fitting questions, I’ll leave that to whoever fits me. But is this a normal experience with boots? I feel like it almost hinders my progress at this point.

I’m looking to get a new set of boots with Zipfits this season, and I am debating between Powder7, Boot Mechanics, and A Racers Edge for fitting. I’m willing to road trip for a great fitter, and I also have existing custom insoles I’d like to keep using. Does anyone have any experience or opinions?

I just moved to CO for work last December where I became addicted to snowboarding and put in close to 40 days before the season ended (thanks A-Bay in June). While learning more about the sport I came across the phrases rock board/rock skis. Since I ski'd so late in the season I can see their purpose, but now I'm wondering if that's something I should be thinking about for early season, and what other things don't I know that I don't know for the late October.

For more details I left my Epic Pass on auto renew by accident so I'll be at Keystone in late October just to get some laps in. Thank you in advance. Any information is helpful no matter how small.

I’ve heard mixed things about both. I would also consider going to evo to save money.

Also there is a deposit that seems to only apply to custom footbeds. Does that sound right?

I have a FWD Camry all season tires, would I make it copper mountain safely? Should I put snow tires on and chains?

I heard 4WD/AWD only helps you move the car and doesn't do anything really for traction and stopping. Is this true?

So I'm on my fourth year of snowboarding and definitely and what you call an intermediate but this year I don't want to spend tons on a pass (last passes where ikone base, then keystone plus pass) And I really this year want to just go and train and get better without some of the crazy crowds. Living in Denver, I'm also getting tired of driving 3 to 4 hours on midweek mornings just to do this and then go to work when I get home.

Anyways, I just discovered echo mountain from someone posting in here last night and wanted to ask people's thoughts from those who have gotten the pass before and go there. I definitely looked at the map and watched some videos and understand it's just one or two runs, a terrain Park, and a beginner area, but this year really want to hone my skills, doing repetitive runs and getting better. I'm also tired of going to keystone and copper mountain every year and they're being hundreds of people like Disneyland crowds even midweek.

When I saw the midweek pass going for 99 bucks I figured hell at least get the pass instead of getting a lift ticket anywhere else which is three times the price, but want to hear what you have to say and value it! I'm I'm probably getting the pass tomorrow when my new card arrives, And definitely going to get the midweek pass since I always go midweek anyways and when I try night skiing for the first time and it includes that twice a week.

Let me know what you think.

Ps. I volunteer for the Burton chill program and they give me a few free lift tickets each year for copper mountain, so I do get to scratch the resort ich 7 days a year for free. As well as teaching and mentoring kids for Aurora!

I want to ski this week or the next. Last month I went to st Mary’s glacier and it was looking pretty rough compared to July.

I’m finding myself in Denver in the very early season of keystone being open on November 22nd. How bad is the traffic from Denver airport on i70 on a Friday in November, I know later in the season it can be pretty jammed. I land at like 8am do you issues to be at keystone by noon that early in the season ? I’d like to get some hours in that Friday if I can.
