Colorado Skiing

Each year, it's a race to crank up the lifts, blow enough snow to cover an entire run, and open the gates for people who love to slip and slide on the snow. This year, it will be Arapahoe Basin that opens first.

Champagne Powder® is totally unique to Ski Town, USA. It's formed by conditions that only join forces in Routt County, CO. I spoke with Loryn Kasten about the special snow that hits Steamboat Springs every year.

Since I moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado almost primarily because of snow and the fun that can be had on it, I sometimes can't believe when I meet someone who has never been to any of our wonderful resorts. It is outside the comfort zone of man

When I was a senior in college, my roommate and I made a December trip from Penn State to Crested Butte, CO. The mountain was allowing people to ride the lift for free.
