Ski Suggestions

Ski Resorts
Many ski resorts in the area, and ski towns. From nearest – about 45 mins drive – going outwards to around 2.5 hours drive:
Eldora (45 mins from Boulder, local bus goes there. Also good for Nordic)

I recommend renting boots & skis (or bring your own boots and rent skis) at the area – but that means getting there early.
The ski lifts usually open at 8.30am on the weekends and close around 4pm.

Watch out – I-70 can get very clogged on Saturday and Sunday mornings (7-9am) and afternoons (3-6pm).
