Eldora Mountain Resort opens this Friday. With 680 acres of terrain to ski and ride, it is a much smaller option than the huge resorts scattered throughout Colorado. The Rocky Mountains are the Rocky Mountains, though, and Eldora offers plenty, especially for Front Rangers who don't want to commit to a longer trip. It's just up the hill from Boulder in Nederland.
