Road Maps
Part 1 – West/Midwest
Part 2 – Northeast/Southeast
You guys are blowing it by only hitting Breck, Keystone, A- Basin, Vail and Beaver Creek in Colorado. Crested Butte and Telluride are two amazing ski areas and towns. Also Wolf Creek should be on the list. If I were you, I would reverse the trip. Go east coast FIRST, build your leg strength, then go west with some endurance and a better base for hitting the good terrain out here. Not a whole lot worth skiing is even open yet. East coast ski areas can open terrain more quickly because they make all their snow and its a golf course underneath. Western mountains have boulders underneath all the snow and it takes a while to get the good stuff open and skiing well to where you won’t hit rocks.
Besides, you won’t want to ski in Debuque, Iowa after skiing at Mt. Baker or Jackson Hole. I know you are supposed to leave in a week, but you need to reconsider the route.
Thanks for the input. The route was planned around a few different criteria. We know that we are going to miss some great spots. Especially since we are only doing a day at each spot. The main idea of the trip is to hit every state. We do have open dates which will allow some changes to be made if we decide that. Thanks again for the suggestions and shoot any more our way.
Wolf Creek should be on the list in Colorado because they routinely get hit with 3, 4 and 5 foot storms.
We are expecting to finish in early Feb. so, there may still be days to hit Colorado again, we will see…
I love what you guys are doing!!!!!! But you are missing 2 of the best resorts in the country Alta and Snowbird!!!!!
Yo Mickey! If you drove all way out here, you’d be crazy not to ski Telluride. Hit up Telluride instead of Arapaho. Enjoy Colorado. Call me if y’all end up near Denver.
