Since we are posting our Loveland Pass videos, here are my few turns from today. Also, yes my skis are very scratched up but no core shots.

15+

Is pano open yet???

wake up, and go turn your webcam on please.

I had season ending ankle surgery (it was necessary). I was able to cancel passes for me and my 3yo.

Question, what are good options from the front range where I can take my little one to ski on snow (like a sledding hill or bunny hill) that is friendly to walker access.

Edit: thanks for the ideas. I don’t mind the drive because it gets the kid used to the car.

Hiked up in the rain - hiked down in a blizzard! More snow is predicted for the next 24 hours.

Hi, I am Sean 31 years old. I have tickets for the Winter Wonder Grass festival March 5-7 2027. I am excited for the festival and to ski and explore Steamboat but it has proven hard to find somewhere to park my van overnight. The KOA seems to be the only RV park and it is already booked out for these dates.

I am looking for a local driveway or somewhere to park my van overnight during the festival. I would be willing to spend up to $50 a night for this luxury. The van is 20 ft and fits easily in most spaces. It is a nice van and I wouldn't cause any trouble for you or your neighbors. I am very friendly and would be willing to hangout and share my items or give you a ride to and from the festival or I am perfectly fine staying out of your hair and giving space.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Instead of being apart of a ski share, I usually set aside about 2k each year to use on hotels in Summit County when big storms are hitting. It allows me to get an extra hour or two of sleep, saves me the stress of driving I-70 in the morning, and usually comes with a free breakfast.
Last year, someone on the sub posted that they do something similar except that they purchase a bunch of Choice Points before the season which ends up saving them a bunch of money on the hotels up there. I was curious if anyone was well versed in how to best use “choice points” up there and how much it saves them over the course of a season. I was also interested in learning if there are any other hotel loyalty programs that are really useful in summit county or any of the other mtn towns for hotel stays. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Edit:
Also interested in specific credit cards that give you points or rewards that you can use on hotels up there.

A lot of fresh snow from last night. Taken from Ridgeway.

I'm just curious if anyone has been able to purchase the Gems Parent Pass from Colorado Ski? I check often, and it keeps showing it is not available. It is unlike last year sale of the Gem Parent Pass.

Y'all we are so close. I can almost taste the ice boogers on my mustache.

For the Denver area

With snowfall in full swing and temps starting to drop, it’s time to place bets on who’s opening first!

Apologies if not allowed by mods (please delete if so).

Are you tired of rundown, uncomfortable, crowded ski shares? We are a group of four professionals in our mid to late 30s looking to round out the last two weekend spots in our ski share for the season.

There are currently two spots available. The share is split between 3 weekday people (Sunday night through Thursday) and 3 weekend people (Thursday night through Sunday), although the exact days that comprise weekday and weekend are not set in stone just yet. The townhome is 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths so everyone is guaranteed their own bedroom and bathroom every single time during their allotted weekday or weekend slot, and you share the home with only three people maximum at a time! With over 1700 sq. ft. it's a super comfortable arrangement. 

Last season we used a shared Google calendar to track occupancy to determine when guests could be accommodated, and also to determine when, for example, a weekday person could swap with a weekend person. We communicated our requests through a shared chat. With so few people, there is a lot more flexibility and room, and communication is easy. Additional detail below.

Share Term: November through April (must commit to full term)

Price: $900 per month (includes utilities)

As indicated by the price and set up, this is not a frat house. Fun vibes welcome; rage vibes not so much.

Sadly no furry friends/pets allowed.

DM me for pictures or any other questions.

So, I stalk the resort websites and weather every early season... Came across this a couple days ago, & noticed nobody else here talking about it yet.

Keystone has October 24th, 2026 (& beyond) day lift tickets available for purchase right now. keystoneresort.com Seems they know that the upcoming weather will allow for this opening timing to happen.

I believe it too, looking at the wet bulb temps on OpenSnow (Arapahoe Basin screenshot in slide 2) + the additional mother nature cream expected, high odds we're skiing the white ribbon of livin' at A-Basin or Keystone come Oct 24th-25th.
