Good places to ski in Colorado - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #52850 7 posts Started by Valo666
This year, I wanna head out west and ski in the rockies. Ive skied all of Ontario *except the far north*, and all of Quebec and some of the hills around South eastern michigan, and im ready to get back onto some real mountains. So im thinking im gonna plan a road trip out to Colorado. Ive worked it out, and i should b able to drive from my house here in Windsor to Denver in about 17 hours + the time at the boarder. But my problem is, I have never been out west b4, so i donno any where to ski out there besides aspen. I was wondering if any one has skied out there and can suggest any places to ski. As for my experience ive been skiing for coming up on 19 years, im a registered instructor and race coach, and ive been doing freestyle for like 2 years now, so pretty much im up for anything. I wanna try doing some pow pow skiing and maybe hit some back country stuff while im out there too. I wanna try and go to as many places as i can within about a 5 or 6 day time span, so feel free to give plenty of place.

Thanks
Bryan

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
