Road trip KY to CO

[send_it]

So my boys and I want to take a road trip to colorado the week of the 16th of december. Its about a 23 hour driver for us we would stay till Christmas Eve. The thing is we dont want to hit park because thats all we do at home. We want to ski side country, cliffs, bowls and backcountry. Idk if its worth it to drive out there that early in the season to ski powder.

Spark notes: 23hour drive, early season pow yes or no

Always ++++K

Don't put dates on powder. When the snow flies you drive. Know the game.

i mean you never know what the snow will do pray its not like last year if its a normal year you will get some pow days knock on wood

Yo where do you go to school in Louisville?? I went to Trinity and am in my first semester at UK....transferring to Boulder in the spring

go to durango or telluride if you're looking for teh powdurzz... never any guarantees but you'll have a better chance of catching a storm than anywhere in/around summit co.

Go to wolf creek. Terrain won't be insane, but it's the best bet for snow. Also, tickets are cheap af.

if you can rent sleds CB would be pretty rad. some great sled in access in the elks. front range is not the best bet that early, though you could probably make it work if you have to, just seems like somewhere west would be the way to go if colorado's the plan...have you considered jackson

silverton mountain already had like 2 feet or something this fall. go there...it's local, and great for powder.

Where the hell did you get 23 hours from? It didn't even take 23 hours to get to summit coming from Pennsylvania...

Been thinking about there too, jackson and wolf creek could options.

Aspen also can be a good powder bet if you wanna stay near summit county - i definitely wouldnt expect anything though. Colorado can be pretty off and on when it comes to good snow.
