[net.rec.ski] Colorado Skiing

sarno (11/12/82)

I am planning on going to Colorado around December 1 or 2 because that seems
to be the only place where there is skiing now, and the airfare is still 
cheap (until Nov. 15).  Can any of you skiers out there tell me how the
conditions are. Is it worth the trip so early in the year?

                                       Thanks in Advance

>> Subject: Information Needed about Colorado Skiing !!

You can expect some good spring skiing in Colorado in April. Most ski areas
close on either April 7 or April 14, however, some stay open as long as the
snow is good and skiers come in enough numbers to justify remaining open (the
latter is usually the reason several places finally close for the 'summer').
I will list a few places where you might want to ski (enjoy):

    Arapahoe Basin       elev. 10780-12450   closes in May (or June or July)
    Copper Mountain      elev.  9600-12250   closes 'late April'
    Keystone/North Peak  elev.  9300-11660   closes 'early May'
    Loveland Basin       elev. 11000-12430   closes in May (or June or July)
    Vail                 elev.  8100-11250   closes April 21

From Colo. Springs go N. ~1hr. to Denver on I-25 then W. 1-2hrs on I-70
