Ridiculous

I grew up in Ft. Collins. I will tell you it's pretty much the worst place in the state if you want to ski a lot, because the drive is so long.

But it's the best town in the world.... But a Colorado Pass is about 350 and you get Breck, Keystone, A-basin, and 10 days at Vail and Beaver Creek.

Or rocky mountain Superpass is Winter Park and Copper (possible Steamboat? Correct me if i'm wrong)

All of those resorts are a little over 2hrs away give or take 15 minutes.

CSU fucking rocks, I recommend going there.

PM me if you have any other questions.

This. I also grew up in Colorado (Vail) and FoCo is the greatest place ever. CSU is my choice for best college in Colorado as well. PM me with any questions as well :)

loveland? naw they usually stay open for a while... and if you can make loveland in an hour then keystone is right on the other side of the pass. i have a friend that lives in fort collins and skis winter park, idk how long the drive is for him though....

and n-yourd, why?
