Arapahoe Basin
“ We skied May 30 until June 4th, it was amazing, there is still a ton of snow up at elevation. This is a great place to meet extremely nice people, ski great terrain, the mountain food is excellent and very reasonable. A-Basin is not a glitzy, high fashion resort, but a relaxed ski area for everyone. I wish we were able to ski more of the place, but some lifts were closed, I don't...” --binobear
Steamboat Ski Resort
“ My favorite resort in America, and for good reason. First, let's get the bad out of the way. If you want to be Joe Gnar and your ski experience isn't complete without throwing flips off 30 footers, go to Crested Butte or Taos. If you want fast paced nightlife, go to Tahoe. If you want a 80 foot jumps, go to Keystone or Breck. That's not what they're trying to promote or sell, so...” --COBillsFan
Winter Park
“ Winter Park has lots of terrain to offer, from open green groomers to gnarly avalanche-prone chutes. The snow is very dry. There is ample tree-skiing to be had; the possibilities are endless. However, one should be prepared to ski alot of bumps (especially if they go over to the "Mary Jane trail complex"). Most of its lifts are high-speed detachables, allowing...” --Vitamin Ski
Loveland Ski Area
“ It's not ritzy, there's no village, no express chairs: it's a mountain for skiing, pure and simple. Do a little hiking on the Ridge and get fresh turns over and over and over again. It's close enough where you can ski the powder in the morning and be back in time for work/class in the afternoon. Much of the terrain is above tree-line and you can ride Chair 9 to 12,700 feet and hike to the...” --dietfig
Wolf Creek Ski Area
“ My review is based on comparisons with many other resorts (including Taos and Santa Fe in my home state of NM, Ajax, Crested Butte, Purgatory, and Monarch in Colorado, Alyeska in AK, Snow Bowl in AZ, and Alta, Snowbird, and Deer Valley in UT). Every resort has something to offer skiers, depending on his or her skiing interest and passion. What WC has, above all, is glorious snow...” --OlderThanDirt
Telluride Ski & Golf Resort
“I skied at Telluride in 2006 and since then I have been dying to go back. It the most perfect skiing location I can imagine. I skied Telluride the last week it was open in the sping, and the snow was still light and ideal. The runs are long, steep, picturesque and fun. I can't say enough good things about that mountain. Skiing down the face, looking down on the town and across the valley at the...” --andiforker
Vail Resort
“ Although the lift ticket is $92, I still give this place 5 star value because their slowest lift is a high speed quad I think (didn't see anything slow at all), and it just seems like you are skiing all day long. I've skied quite a few places around the west and this is by far the best. Best skiing, lodging, parking, best at crowd control...etc. I say crowds, maybe? because...” --guroo270
Copper Mountain
“ I grew up skiing here, and at Keystone resort. This is known around Summit County as the resort for locals, evidenced by its consistent first place rank among Summit County resorts according as voted by locals. It has great, varied, and divided terrain. Someone might think that too much is made of this "natural division" feature, and while it's not Copper's only bragging point, it...” --CoCopperGold
Snowmass
“ I should start by saying that I am not an employee of the ski company and do not live locally but have been skiing at this area all my life. I live near Denver and have skied all of the local front range areas as well as Steamboat. In my opinion Snowmass is hands down the best ski area in Colorado for a number of reasons. There is a ton of on mountain lodging...” --Ski SMV
