Got new boots last year didn’t end up using them, hoping to break them out, but had foot surgery and want to get some proper insoles. I hear Surefoot is the place to go for insoles… wanna make sure that I’m not leaving anyone out. TIA!

Hopefully with the super El Nino Colorado gets hammered this year!

I saw that Copper is holding a World Cup race this November. I have never been but always wanted to go experience one of the big races. I was wondering if anyone that has gone to one of these before could tell me if it was fun or more annoying than it was worth overall.

I would probably just be getting standard grandstand tickets and VIP Parking (since parking and traffic is what I would stress most about). Unless the $20 more for premium GA seems worth it.

Hello! I just recently moved to Colorado in February and want to give skiing a go this upcoming season. I’ve seen tons of conversation online surrounding which passes to buy, and I’ve narrowed it down to two: the Ikon Base pass, or the Winter Park Season pass.

Items contributing to my decision:

- It is my first season. I don’t expect to be going to a different resort every weekend. I would like to get familiar with the process and such before I venture to a bunch of different resorts.

- Traffic. I have heard that resorts before i70 are easier to access as traffic can back up pretty bad as you head further along i70. I live around downtown Denver so I would prefer to have easier access to resorts.

- Frequency. I intend to be going every weekend (or at least every other weekend) once the season starts. I will only have availability to go on the weekends, so I am not sure if that plays into which pass I should get.

I’m leaning towards the Winter Park Season Pass, as it seems to be easier to access and might be better for beginners from what I’ve read. I am worried though that I’ll get tired of one resort and regret not buying a pass with access to others. Any insight or advice would be helpful!

It's early, but this gives me hope for the Rockies. Colorado couldn't have had a worse season last year. Here is looking forward to the next.

I've been skiing SLC the last couple of seasons and figured it's time to try the Ikon resorts in CO. I booked a flight into Vail in late Feb and am planning on a couple of days at each of the three Ikon resorts in the area. Not a huge fan of driving on ice/snow as I have always lived in Louisiana where that just isn't a thing hah.

I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible to fly into Vail and then take some kind of public transit from Vail to Snowmass and then Snowmass to the Dillon area. I'm going to Glenwood Springs for 2 nights first to ski Snowmass. After that I booked 4 nights at the Cambria Copper Mountain and it looks like they charge $50 a night for parking 😬 I was going to try and get from Copper to A-Basin for a couple of days if that is feasible.

I could always just book a couple of nights in Silverthorne (that's where my price range has me lol). Only thing is I'd rather just stay in one place for four days and decide where to go each day depending on the weather. Like I don't want to end up stuck at A-Basin for two socked in days and then have 2 bluebird days at Copper.

I guess I'm just looking for info on shuttles/busses from Vail to Snowmass, Snowmass to Dillon or Silverthrorne, and Silverthorne to A-Basin. Sorry if I'm just rambling at this point lol.

Thanks.
