Neil Gendzwill Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 So I’m going to be in Denver on business in late January. Louisville, actually. My business wraps up around 5 pm on Friday Jan 25 so I am contemplating riding for the weekend and heading home Monday. Where should I go? Is it possible to avoid crazy crowds? Doesn’t have to be a carving haven, I’m good with all terrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Lovey. Good crew, good carving, and crazy good natural terrain off of 8 and 9, old school ski area, and not a resort. Reasonably priced as well. Check the yo Lci! Thread Discounts with advanced purchase or with a buddy pass.big small mountain. Bring supplemental O2, base is at 10,800 feet, most of the time less crowded than the summit shitshow Mario Edited December 21, 2018 by big mario 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.free Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Eldora would be the closest choice from Louisville, nice grooming, variety of slopes, good lifts. Loveland would be the second choice, longer traffic, less steep slopes. Great carving group of LCI. Pricewise, i think they are similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Is there a cheap place anyone would recommend to stay near either hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 No lodging near either hill. The biggest advantage of Eldora over Loveland is not having to drive I-70 on a weekend. If you do choose Loveland, you can probably find lodging in Georgetown. If you choose Eldora, a hotel in or near Louisville would be only about an hour away.

Neil Gendzwill Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Bah, work just nixed the trip. Turns out I need to be back bright and early Monday. Thanks anyway. Maybe next time, I'm in Louisville quite a bit, this is just the first time it coincided with a winter weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're are on Ikon passes so we go to Eldora a lot. And Sundays at Loveland are always Fundays! Passes are cheap too. Post up here for your next trip, might have a basement apt for you 1hr from the front range/Arvada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
