Whether you are looking to make First Tracks or just want to enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains, you will find many alternatives a short ride from Denver.
Most ski areas are reporting 3 to 8 feet of base with a few inches of new snow. For snow reports try www.coloradoski.com
Wolf Creek is joyous reporting an accumulation of 21 feet! Oh my! The base depth is 8 feet, so if you are willing to make the drive you won’t be disappointed.
Don’t care to drive in the mountains? Well the Ski Train might be the perfect solution for you. Hop on board at Union Station downtown for an incredibly beautiful, carefree ride to Winter Park. For more information of the Ski Train go here. (click on this link regardless, you’ve got to hear the train whistle!)
Making the trip for the scenery alone is worth it. You will see more of Colorado’s wonders than you would from a car. The train travels across the city of Denver to the north passing the Flatirons in Boulder, wilderness mountain terrain and the Moffat Tunnel.
You can spend the day downhill skiing, boarding at Winter Park or cross country at Devil’s Thumb. Or enjoy the shops in Winter Park and a nice long hot toddy. No rush, no worries, the train will take you back home at the end of the day.
Living in the Denver Metro area lets you enjoy the benefits of being a tourist in your own town! For information about real estate, neighborhoods and demographics, visit Denver Real Estate and Relocation.
