Crested Butte for big mountain stuff

Be prepared for the higher elevation, you will be at or around 1500 meters just in Denver, skiing you will be up the 3000 meter range. Im sure you know that but I had to add my 2 cents.

I don't know what type of skiing ur into but if you wanna bool over to winter park I'll show ya around. Also wp doesn't get much hype but if you wanna check some of the edits on b Irving or c Ray's insta (or the superunknown edits) you can check out the park

Get high as fuck.

Breck has best but most crowded park and decent bowls, Keystone is right behind and slightly less crowded, Vail has pretty good (and not at all crowded) park and best bowls and backcountry but the lift ticket will likely price you out during that time of season unless you have an Epic pass already. I’m talking likely $200/day lift tickets during that time of season.

Things have changed, but back when Copper and Winter Park were on the Super Pass they would still have early season-nearing holiday sales where you could buy lift tix for about $70. Not sure how that’s changed with Ikon pass, but might be your best bet in terms of affordability.

I can’t chime in on Telluride or Crested Butte—I bet they’re sick at least for big mountain skiing, but that’s a 3-5 hour drive from Denver on a good day anyways. Same with Aspen.

what to do? Idk, Breck has the best nightlife for sure. Winter Park might be a distant second.

I hear Colorado is doing a ski bus route out of Denver to the mountains this year. Has anyone heard anything more on this yet?

If you don’t have a car Winter Park is easy to get around on their free bus system. You can potentially take the train there from Denver.

This is no joke, My Brother and Law came to visit and ski in CO and he is from Hawaii and it was pretty rough. Those oxygen bottles are a rip off but I heard they can definitely help. Also, be careful drinking in the high altitude ultra dry air.
