What should I know about snowboarding in Colorado?

March 10th, 2008 | by admin |

I want to go on a snowboarding trip and I figure that Colorado is the place to be. I’ve been snowboarding there before (Copper Mtn.) but it was about 10 years ago when I was 11. I also am a pretty decent skier because it seems similar to gliding in ice hockey but snowboarding seems so much awesomer. Also, maybe I just want to move out there after I’m done with college. I’m just looking for all kinds of tips from anyone from Colorado or who visits there often. Thanks!

    A couple things that may be useful:

    There are 5 major mountains in CO –
    1. Vail
    2. Beaver Creek
    3. Breckendridge
    4. Copper
    5. Keystone

    They are all owned by the Vail Mountain Company and you can ski any of the 5 on the same lif tticket. Vail and Beaver Creek are the two biggest resorts/mountains and are about 5 min away from each other – I think Vail is still largest ski resort in the world. If you don’t mind the traffic that’s probably the best/most popular skiing in Co

    Keep in mind that your going to be most likely be flying into the Denver airpot which is around 2 hours away from Vail/Beaver Creek. They have shuttles – (colorado Mountain Express) that costs $75 each way, so keep that in mind when calculating your costs.

    If you don’t want to do that, look into flying directly into Eagle County Airport which is only about 20 min from the mountains, however everytime I look up flights directly to there, it’s always way more expensive.
