Perfect ski conditions are available in Colorado as it is
located in the Rocky Mountains. When you visit Colorado for
a ski or snowboarding trip, you can chose from amongst a
number of mountains. Most ski enthusiasts are aware that
during winters the snowy peaks at the legendary ski hills
attract a lot of celebrities.
Aspen is, by far, the most popular ski resort town in
Colorado. Aspen offers visitors snowy hills, and
challenging and varying terrain. But it also offers
visitors the chance to people-watch, both well-to-do folks
and famous celebrities flock to beautiful mountain resort
each year. Aspen used to be a mining town, but is now one
of the hottest vacation destinations in the USA. Aspen
offers visitors a choice of spas, resorts, and fabulous
dining. But it's the ski hills that bring in the most
visitors. It's not a discount area; expect to pay $74 for
an adult day pass at the ski resorts.
Vail is another popular ski resort and constantly ranked as
number one in many ski magazines. With 193 trails covering
5,289 acres, Vail is the largest ski resort in the USA. The
snow condition, terrain and number of challenging runs are
top of the line. The great shopping, restaurants, and
nightlife, makes the town of Vail as a popular destination
for skiers. Vail provides great lessons for skiers and
snowboarders.
Copper Mountain Resort is a local favorite in Colorado. Head

why. No small potatoes, Copper Mountain has an impressive
125 trails and 22 lifts to get you around. The trail system
developed here has won awards and takes advantage of
everything this mountain has to offer. Slightly less
expensive then Aspen or Vail, you won't notice that the
trails are any less exciting.
Powderhorn Resorts is a slightly smaller mountain with great
value day passes. It offers a choice of challenging day outs
or easy meandering and relaxing runs. There are 29 runs;
ideally suited for beginners and intermediate skiers. The

America's best ski resorts. New resorts continue to sprout
up throughout Colorado, while the old resorts are upgraded
and made even more fabulous. Many people would enjoy the
