Head to Aspen for an upscale experience.Colorado is so spoiled for ski resorts it can be hard to know where to start. The best bet is to consider what else aside from skiing and snowboarding you’re interested in, and the environment in which you want to do it. Love Victorian architecture and history? Breckenridge is your best choice. Got eager kids in tow? Keystone might be the one.
Here, we explore six of the top Colorado ski resorts, each an excellent place to ski or snowboard for different reasons. There are many more worth exploring, including smaller spots like the privately owned Wolf Creek near the New Mexico border (great for early season snow) or Arapahoe Basin, among the closest ski resorts to Denver and offering one of the longest snow seasons. Coloradoski.com, a nonprofit representing 22 resorts across the state, is a good resource for an overview, too.
