You can ski here without struggling with I-70. That alone is enough, but the skiing here is often really nice, as well. It's sometimes windy and sometimes a little icy, but sometimes there's really nice powder, too. Sure, it's not the king of Colorado ski resorts, but it's way better than everywhere I grew up skiing at in WV, OH, and western PA. It's all relative.

It's a small resort and on weekends, holidays, and powder days the lot fills fast. Sometimes vehicles are stopped at the high school to wait for spots to open up. Either leave home really early, carpool, or take RTD (the N bus serves the mountain).

Eldora is worth your time.
