Loveland Ski Area Reviews

Fairly priced for Soma area. Very clean and upscale with a great demographic. A lot of young professionals.

Great smaller resort. Very friendly people. Fun runs. A good variety of of terrain . Favorite Colorado ski resort.

So many different runs and trail combos you can put together! It s divided into two areas to give the beginners an area where they can develop without disrupting the runs of those more advanced which is also great!

Got in to some waist deep powder, and that's always a good time.

We have went to Loveland for 2 years now. We love it and will continue to go back. Although I haven't been to many other ski resorts, after talking to the locals it's by far the cheaper way to go while still being able to get a quality experience. I would rate a 4.5

Good fun! Fast hill, although I had a hard time stopping the impending doom of an avalanche occurring from setting in. It was fun!

Always a good time during the week! New high speed lift is great, the rest is up to mother nature

Had a great time at loveland ski area. I did the lesson package and Keith was our instructor. We did the intermediate lesson. The mountain had plenty of trails and for a Saturday did not find it crowded at all. A great experience, the cafe also has good lunch options. It was great that the parking was free and the prices are reasonable. I would be back for sure.

Beautiful and scenic road bike trail up here and it was not disappointed. I have to admit the bike trail I was on had either uphill the entire way or down hill all the way back so that got quite boring. But the views made up for everything with small waterfalls around the biking trail and green little Meadows off to the side that you could explore More for someone who's not looking for a diverse workout but to really get in touch with the environment.

A great local ski slope. Not as many frills means cheaper lift tickets! I took a group lesson and the instructor made time to work with everyone individually. Free shuttle service to both ski areas.

So close to Denver. Plenty of runs for all abilities. Sane ticket prices. Friendly staff, and good comfort food. Ya gotta love Loveland!

Really great snowboarding experience. Super quick lifts!

Loveland is our favorite Ski Area!! We brought our family here for years while they were growing up. Today we brought our 3 little granddaughters. They were so excited for ski school! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The instructors are great with the kids and adults. Lots of beautiful snow. Great value too!

Proud to call it my home mountain and enjoy the hidden gems in the terrain here.

Nice hill, less expensive than some of the bigger resorts. Easy ride from Denver.

Lift tickets are cheap compared to many other resorts in the area. The amount of skiable area is not as large as other resorts, but skiing here is well worth it due to the discount they offer. Would highly recommend. Check out the "4 Pack" deal on there website.

Wonderful ski resort with gorgeous views and varied terrain. Great restaurants and never too crowded!

I learned to ski at Loveland. The instructor I had, Jane, was awesome and had me up and skiing after my first lesson. The bros in the ski shop are great and got my boots adjusted perfectly. Skiing for all levels at Loveland from nice and easy groomers all the way up to Snow Cat skiing double diamonds off the Continental Divide.

Epic
Always loved this mountain

Everybody here is so friendly and helpful. the mountain is fun. It's close to home. I love it here.

Loved it! As a first time snowboarder it was the perfect place to learn the ropes and gain confidence. We took a lesson with Guy and were impressed. We'll be back for more.

Great place to ski early season and reasonably priced. If you're going with a group buying a 4-pack is a nice way to get a discount on some of the tickets.

It was an awesome experience and I got a snowboard lesson and the instructed was nice and helpful

5/5 Affordable Ski Resort! Amazing slopes! You can hear the Eisenhower tunnel siren from the top of the mountain! Really fun experience!

Great Ski field over the Einsenhower Tunnel. Affordable tickets and food! Something for everyone.

It s a great run for the price, you can have some fun there.

Just the right size. Great learning area but also had plenty of trails to have fun on.

Great place to ski on a short trip there and Back Again from Denver metro area and the best four pack deal in all of Colorado

Way too overcrowded. The rental room is so small you re standing on top of the people next to you. Over half of the workers are extremely rude. There s never enough room to sit down and eat because people just leave their bags and trash everywhere in the dining area and management does not care. The renting process is an absolute nightmare. Avoid this place and drive the extra 30-45 min to Breckenridge.

Great place to ski but parking lot a little tight to get and out.

One of my favorite Colorado mountains to ski. Loveland is one of the last independent family owned resorts in Colorado, and truly feels like a locals mountain. Lots of great varied terrain, and great people too. The guys in the tune shop are some of the best in the business and will tune your gear up while you have a delicious Bloody Mary at the Rathskeller.

Great ski resort and one of the less expensive ones.

My wife and I love this place. We live in Australia and are returning again to Loveland in April for our second visit.
We love it because of the great snow, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We also like that it is where the locals ski and you don't get the "look at me, I'm so cool" set..
Last year we had a great instructor, Faye who really helped us a lot and we will be using her services again.

Skiing was open already. Bought a 4 pack of tickets and was like half off.

I ski here very often and enjoy it a lot. Since it's about 20 min from my office, a typical day for me is a couple hour ski break and then back to work.

The mountain is great, but at times it can be extremely cold and windy due to the location at the top of the Continental Divide, so come prepared. Weather on the divide can change very rapidly. That same wind can either scour the snow into sastrugi in some places and also leave wonderful pillows of awesome powder in other places!

The snowcat at the top of the Ridge is a great thing when it's operating. If you don't mind a short hike, SuperBowl or WildChild can offer a wonderful payback for a little effort. Patrol Bowl, South Chutes, Over the Rainbow, and all the runs through the trees between Lift #4 and #8 can also be fun places to play.

Season passes are very reasonably priced and there is a good program for developing young skiers.

There are some absolutely wonderful employees at Loveland, but there are a few who obviously don't give a damn about the guests or doing their job well, and it's hard to understand why they are allowed to remain.

Lift line management at the bottom of Chair 1 is pathetic - chairs going up partially full with big lines at times, since the attendants don't do anything proactive to match skiers from the single line with pairs or other singles.

On weekends, the parking lot guys often don't bother to take down the LOT FULL signs as the Denver people begin to leave mid-day, so pay no attention - there is usually a spot up front to be had in the early afternoon if you're just going up for a half day in the afternoon.

I ski at many areas large and small, and patrolled at two ski areas myself, so I have a good understanding of mountain operations and a basis for comparison - the weak organization and occasional utter lack of professionalism at Loveland is a bit obvious at times. The place clearly needs better leadership.

Awesome ski area. Usually a bit windy. Views are outstanding!

Nice ski area at the interstate 70 directly over the Eisenhower tunnel, but with very old lifts.

First time snowboarding and the staff are extremely helpful. Prices aren't bad at all especially if you have a seasonal pass and the discounts are generous. Nice cafeteria with all the basic meals and all kinds of snacks. The equipment is well maintained and it's obvious that the staff and instructors are passionate about what they do.

Place is great. They don't charge an unreasonable about for anything, from lift tickets to food. Snow is always fantastic, lift lines short and employees are helpful.

I pass this place all the time headed for the big resorts and decided to check it out this time. It was a big surprise on the size of the mountain and quality of skiing. It is for the skier that doesn't need all the resort options.
If you are visiting the Denver area and only have a day to ski this would be a great option at a much lower ticket price.

Skiing is Great!!!
The service at the bar and restraints suck!!!!
Omg if I could get some service in line when I arrive would be great.
And if anyone asked me if I was doing ok would be nice.
Maybe if I was regular it would be different.
Man do I miss copper mountain.
I m saving next year for that pass. Made a mistake buying the closets mountain to me in Denver.
Go Broncos!!!

Loveland is a great resort to escape traffic and long lift lines. Great trails and employees are awesome! Unfortunately, the weather this year has been crappy for all Colorado resorts. Bring back the snow..lol!

This is my favorite local skiing spot. Lift ticket prices are fair and affordable (I typically buy the 1/2 day starting at 11:30am-4pm & costing $60-$65 depending on the time of season).
The nice thing about Loveland Ski Area is they have a separate part of mountain designed for beginners, with a small magic carpet & chair lift. The larger part of the mountain is geared to towards intermediate/advanced skiing.
The staff is super friendly and always there to help you when you need it. Highly recommend this ski resort!

This place is trash. From the over priced menu riddled with food poisoning (I have personally gotten it TWICE from here- they also failed health inspections for the kitchen in 2018 and previous years...) to the impersonal and disrespectful ways they treat their own employees, it's best to just avoid this craphole all together.

The biggest problem? They have zero concern for safety. It's all about profit. Only now (may 2018) are they attempting to change things. Because finally, after years of negligence to safety standards, they got caught red-handed screwing up and cost one of their employees his life. OSHA fined them $65,000 for >>>THIRTEEN<<< safety violations. Thats impressively stupid, cruel, and downright irresponsible.

Be a better person and don't support this greed ridden place. You might become their next tragedy if you don't heed this cautioning.

But I guess that's your choice, to put your life and/or your family's at risk...... I personally wouldn't just to save a few bucks, because life and safety > money.

I have been skiing here for 20 years and it has a great variety of terrain and excellent value for what you get. Avoid all the crowds of the resorts and go to loveland.

Had a great experience this past weekend. One of my snowboard boots broke so I headed to the repair shop. They didn't have the right part to repair my boot but they hooked me up with a free pair of rental boots! I was back on the slopes in 20 minutes.

Way too many people drive past this place & drive on to much more expensive ski areas (that also have big crowds and long lift lines). Stop & ski Loveland. You wont be sorry.

Always a favorite. This mountain provides a wide variety of terrain. It keeps the beginners where they should be and the more experienced ski and boarders where they can enjoy themselves.

Ski school for kids is amazing. The instructors are kind, patient, and super knowledgable about teaching kids in a way that is easy for them to pick up.
The mountain offers a wide range of trails for all levels and even has a free snowcat to help you find the best lines down from the ridge if you're looking for a bit more of a challenge.

Great.high altitude ski area. Lots of challenging runs. Gets good snow.

Challenging mountain to ski but I highly recommend it.

Had a blast with my kids, first time skiing and
Snow for them. Love the place, closest place to Denver driving really easy. First to arrive on first to leave compared to other ski resort

Best ski mountain close to Denver that isn't a part of the Vail machine. Super chill, lots of variety, and awesome prices.

Great place to go skiing and only an hour from Downtown Denver. Me and my partner usually go skiing in NM, and Loveland compared to NM has some pretty steep blue runs. Can't wait to see this place on a nice Pow day.

Good ol ski park. They still have the old school 2-man lifts with the bar down the middle.

Great ski area for all skills levels. Stayed in Dillon and made the short drive to the resort for two days.

Loveland is more affordable, closer, less lift lines -- all of which make it very much worth it. The mountain isn't amazing and the food is pretty bad, but I'll take it.

Rude awful woman at the ski lift area.... as we got off I fell, so my husband had to try to get around me and was hit by the lift. The lift operator cussed at me and my husband, used the f word at us.... there were kids around. Dangerous operator, with a horrible attitude. Will not go back! It s a shame because we live in Denver and it s easy to go there. Awful experience.

Really cool place... Came here during the week and there's not very many people. Plenty of green runs for new skiers. Lots of blues and blacks for those that know what they are doing

Good skiing but the food at the lodge was so gross. Don't eat there!

Always a great day on the slopes. Plenty of terrain so it never seems crowded.

Affordable. Convenient and free parking. Great mountain.

If you want to ski or board as nice a mountain anyplace else without the pretentiousness
