Spring break ski trip help?!?
My best friend, her boyfriend, my boyfriend, and I are all planning on going on a spring break ski trip to Colorado. We are going to be driving since we are seniors in high school and we want to keep it fairly cheap. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best spots in Colorado were? I’ve heard Breckenridge, Winter Park, Aspen, etc. We don’t really need a big party scene just some good skiing and maybe a bit of shopping. Also, if anyone knows of any good travel websites it would be great to know those, too! Thanks in advance! (:
Winter Park has two peaks, one is Winter Park (the touristy, groomed part of the area) and a nearly separate area called Mary Jane. MJ has long bump runs through the woods, lots of locals and it’s just a hell of a lot of fun.
Mary Jane (Winter Park) and Breckenridge and Loveland are my favorite areas. Both Breck and MJ get pretty crowded on the weekends, so try to ski during the week.
Aspen and Vail are overrated and lower elevation, to be honest. More of a resort than a ski destination, though Vail is certainly the better of the two. Both very expensive though.
If you’re trying to cut costs, Loveland and Arapahoe Basin are both awesome areas, uncrowded and 400 inches of snow a year at Loveland — but they have no town at the bottom, you’d have to stay in Idaho Springs or Georgetown. You can’t really go wrong with Colorado areas.
