Look out

i have never been to colorado but i am visiting denver in the middle of december (around the 18th) and wondering how to go about snowboarding? We will be renting a car and we will be there midweek, is it reasonable to stay in denver and drive out to snowboard/sled? thinking about doing either a day or two worth of snow activities. does it snow in denver by mid december and are there any christmas activities to do? I want to do snow activities as well as christmas activities like see the lights or a play, etc

thx in advance!

As the title says, curious which would be better for a beginner (mostly greens) in early season. I've seen people recommending against WP, but is this just because there's only beginner terrain open?

Copper decided to drop some rope the last hour! Probably the best run of the day. Definitely icy and the top of exelerator has a ton of sharks..

Good coverage, Schoolmarm was clean, side hits were pretty deep. Had blowers running on most of the side trails, and it was snowing pretty good until I left at 2.

My partner and I are traveling to Las Vegas next April. After that, we have 10 days left in our vacation and would love to experience snowfall since we don’t get snow in our country. Where in Colorado can we find snowfall in late April to early May, especially for non-skiers?

I have this idea of taking my family (2 toddlers, 2 adults) from Denver to WP and back via train, Sunday to Tuesday at the end of this year. The snow train is running, but we can't do Saturday or earlier. Is it possible to take the snow train Sunday, and then hop the Frasier-Denver train on Tuesday? The issue is about boards and skis, and gear in general.

I can buy tickets on those dates, but will they let us bring snow boards and skis on in Frasier? There is also, strangely enough, an option to book from WP, to Fraser, on to Denver, via some weird use of a bus or something. Will that allow us to check out boards and skis?

Does anybody have experience with this sort of thing?

Asking for a friend, god bless our vets.

How was it? Considering copper tomorrow but won’t be able to get to 70 until 8am which I know is late during peak time but not sure early season.

I have a trip in early March to Telluride for 4 days. A couple of my buddies are trying to figure out where to go early/mid April. 2 full days of skiing and back home. I am a long time CO skier and travel there 2-3 times per season from out of state. Any recs on best conditions for those months? I usually stick to the Summit County area but am open to other easy accesses from Denver airport. My main stays are Copper, A Basin and Breck. TIA.

Hey all, I am planning to go to Keystone tomorrow. I just got a new snowboard and I’m super excited to use it, but I’ve heard the beginning of the season can be rocky and some people recommend using “beater” equipment so the bottom of my board doesn’t get all scraped up etc. Is this necessary? I could use my old board if so. Just hoping someone who’s been to Keystone since its opening can speak to this! Thanks!

Unbelievable how many cars are driving around like this today. Are you lazy or incompetent?

From your experiences at the front range mountains yesterday, are any of you expecting new terrain to open for next week?

(Echo doesn’t count, and the vibes are still better) #1 90% of the daily visitors are CU students from Cali, Texas, or Florida. #2 Those MFs cannot drive in the snow and end up causing crazy wrecks/ blockages as they can’t drive in the snow. #3 you have a 75% chance of getting hit by some douchbag kid who doesn’t know how to slow or stop on their skis or board. #4 it’s the size of a shitty east coast or Midwest “mountain” #5 it’s almost always crazy windy, Icy, and cold for no reason. #6 the bar is tiny and full of boulder bros trying to argue/ fight people. #7 parking sucks when it’s busy #8 alterra ruined this mountain for the locals

#1 POSITIVE POINT! The park is generally rad, but Woodward doesn’t miss no matter the spot. We love you park crew ❤️

Let’s argue, I’m stoked to watch the anger behind this.

Lap days, get up before the storm, meet some rad people, and make the most of your pass!

We’re a group of fellow pow’ls who’ve locked in a ski share for the season (Nov 15 - May 15), and we have room for Mon-Fri, weekday shredders.
Currently, we have one weekday member, and the rest of us hit the weekends. This doesn’t mean you can’t party rock on the weekends—it just means you have priority for a bed on weekdays as part of the lease. (I ski weekends, but I’ll be there some weekdays as long as it works for everyone.)

The Deets:
The condo is a well-stocked 2 bedroom / 1 bath in Wildernest (Silverthorne). Cost is around $380/month, with a total financial commitment of $2,290 for the season plus a $560 refundable security deposit. Sorry but we can’t accommodate dogs. 

About Us:
We’re a crew of young-ish professionals from the front range. We’re not a big party house, but we keep it gnarly, always knowing tomorrow we ride! We’ve found some awesome ski share friends over the years, so if this sounds like your scene, welcome to the crew! I hope everyone has a deep, hucktastic season!

If you’re interested, shoot me a DM.

Got there around 2. Some really good side hits on the two upper runs, soft snow, and the crowds basically vanished at 3.

Does anyone know if the snowboarder that fell off the lift today at Eldora is alright? Looked pretty bad

I live in Co springs. What do yall think roads will be like on the way to keystone tomorrow morning? Sketch? Take 24 or 70? I feel like 70 might be plowed while 24 could be worse off. Any thoughts?

And why?

Hey guys!

Big thanks to everyone who jumped in to help with our call for winter ride leaders! Tons of you volunteered to coordinate rides this season.
