I'm going there this year and was wondering what the best places to go would be. I dont really care about parks, I will be doing mostly bowls/ steeps/ backcountry, stuff like that.
 
vail, crested butte, silverton, telluride, aspen highlands, snomass for terrain.

steamboat, monarch, wolf creek for that colorado fluff.

winterpark/jane, a-basin, copper if u want to stay closer to denver.
 
^yeah crested butte has really good stuff i hear, but i think telluride is pretty awesome too
 
Crested Butte is easier to get to and Telluride has a lot of rich ass stuck up people, Crested Butte used to be where hippies avoided the draft (accorind to my dad) and it is laid back and all about skiing
 
please, telluride was supporting the hippie/ski bum crowd long b4 crested butte. that doesnt change the fact that they're both killer mtns.

terrain=crested butte

snow + a little easier terrain=telluride
 
Hmm...there is a lot of good stuff out here-

-For Bowls go to Vail, they have the best Bowls by far, and Blue sky Basin is awesome

-For Steeps go to Crested Butte

-Check out A Basin just because it is so much fun. (good steeps on the upper east wall if they have it open)

-I highly doubt you ski any real backcountry. You could ski loveland pass on the way back from summit county to DIA.
 
umm no way dude highlands bowl is way fuckin sicker than anything vail has

But yeah dude go to aspen snowmass or crestedbutte or telluride. those are the real core colorado ski areas fuck vails corperate ass.
 
a-baisn is sick.. really laid back and you usaly dont have to pull your pass out of you ass every time you get on the chair
 
Sadly, I have never skied Highlands Bowl. However, I do know that you have to hike it, so you don't get as much bowl skiing if you go to Aspen. So Aspen has Highlands Bowl... Vail has Game Creek Bowl, Sun Up Bowl, Sun Down Bowl, Teacup Bowl, China Bowl, Siberia Bowl, Inner Mongolia Bowl, and Outer Mongolia Bowl. Just 7 more than Aspen.
 
Crested Butte hands down. i have skiied at just about every area in colorado and all over for that matter, and nothing, absolutley nothing compares. And i truly do ski EVERYWHERE. In terms of best lift serviced steeps and crazy terrain you wont beat it anywhere, why else would morrison and other big mountain ledgends ski here every day that they is not traveling and filming??
 
thank you. This man said it right there, I was so disappointed in what I found in co last season.....

Vails back bowls are beautiful, and a great experience for the tourists. Not much to ski though
 
omfg i can spend days in vail's bowls and be hucking cliffs all over the place. but yea crested butte has some pretty awesome shit.
