Loveland Ski Area Review

My very fav ski area. Closest to Denver just before Eisenhower Tunnel. No shuttle necessary from parking lot to ski lifts . If your party gets lost, everyone can meet at THE cafeteria easily. Prices are best in the area . Something for every skill level from green (easy) to double black diamond (extra hard). Views of Continental Divide. Super great pro shops for clothes and jewelry.
This is where lots of locals go -- no ski in/ski out condos so crowds of out of towners less.

Relatively inexpensive ( compared to the other front range places ). On-site ski rental shops are massively swamped at start of day, get your skis off site. Lifts are all non high speed, but the runs are good for little ones. Recommended for families.

Best price vs quality ski area in Colorado. Friendly staff. They need to improve the lift chairs.

Smaller resort but lots of fun! People there are great and very helpful. Only downfall, the "smaller" runs are located down the road, but the shuttle makes for an easy and fast solution to get there

Nice ski area off I-70! Good prices, great views. Only reason I'm not rating 5 stars is kinda selfish- my knees had a hard time with the tougher / ungroomed terrain. Still a ton of fun.

Its great area to go skiing. Employee are very helpful. The only thing if you plan to eat there don't eat between 12-1pm beacuse the cafe area was so pack and very hard to find seating. That's when all the kids who are taking ski lesson eat lunch and most table are reserved for them.

Great mountain, not the steepest but it one of my favorites

Favorite place to ski!! Great staff, awesome runs, super management!!!! Not to mention the best food.

No-frills skiing. Unless a frill is being at the continental divide looking down as the interstate passes below your feet while you stand above the treeline waiting to slide down.

But...why don't they sell drink lids? They have cups. No lids. Weird.

Great ski conditions. Cheap lift tickets. Fast access from Denver. Short lift lines.

Great ski spot. Nice powder or runs depending on your preference. Get here early or parking is a big problem.

While this was the only ski place we visited on our amazing Colorado trip, we loved the experience and staff.

Big ski resort with lots of terrain. Parking is easy.

So many routes above treeline! Pockets of drift snow snakes everywhere.

One of the best ski places in Colorado. Feels like a mom and pop ski resort.

Very nice skiing here, the pow is also shreddy spaghetti worthy.

Short lines, good snow. Great place to take the family.

Great bang for the buck ski resort. Plenty of runs for every skill level. Lift line move quickly. Ski shop and restaurant prices are reasonable.

Is my first time, so excited and great experience liked it

The most chill ski spot. One of the more convenient locations, right off I-70. Relatively short lift lines, great prices and deals, good variety of terrain and easy to navigate for all skill levels. Easy place to go with a group, split up, and meet for beers later. Everyone can do their own thing.

Amazing!!!
Even for beginners they have huge bunny hop area with a constant bus service from main ski area to bunny hop. Be there before time if u are planning it on spring break and want to rent equipments as afterwards u ll be facing long queues. It closes early around 4 so don t waste your time lol.
Great cafe, nice food, good safety majors and conscious team.
For beginners, I ll suggest to book lessons previously.

I love this place! Have been going here for years and am hyped every time I drive up

Great AFFORDABLE mountain. Nice food portions at the bars.

Fantastic ski area at a great price! Great service, slopes were in outstanding shape, no lines, free parking and a cheeseburger was only $6. Had a great day

I am 68 years old. I have been skiing here since I was 7 years old. It is a wonderful place to ski, to meet up with friends and the staff always takes great care of all of us.. Many of us have skied together since we used to dare each other to take that big jump over 60 years ago. Loveland rocks, pure and simple!

Got there early and my husband had 4 runs in before 9. Absolute perfect snow weather. It was gorgeous up there! Leave early take your time soak it all in and relax..especially driving! Happy snowboarding/skiing everyone.

Easy to get to is the best thing about Loveland. We and our kids have all learned there and while the prices are reasonable the quality of instructors is not what you find elsewhere. Their beginner terrain is very small and often overrun by obnoxious ski racer kids and their entitled parents. The food is poor and there s never anywhere to sit and eat as people come in and squat on tables all day.

What's not to like about Loveland? Great terrain with that small mom and pop ski area vibe. If you've only been to Loveland early season you're missing out on some truly excellent terrain up top!

No frills ski area. Great place to go when the snow is good and the wind is not howling.

Great mountain, tons of terrain. For the short trip from Denver it can't be beat!

Not fancy but fun. Enough varied terrain for a great day of skiing at a very reasonable price. Wonderful ski instructors for all levels of skiing and snowboarding.

Excellent value but very windy. If you're paying for a flight maybe just keep driving...

Nice ski resort and not terribly busy. Wifi and cell signals are good too.

Great local ski area. Has a very wide range of terrain, and plenty of advanced terrain. Much more laid back vibe than the larger resorts. Similar feel to Arapahoe Basin.

Best snowboarding experience of my first trip to Colorado!

My first time there was great, the staff was helpful when I rented my gear and they were really friendly on the way up to the bunny slopes. I'll definitely be going there again :)

Loveland is a small resort that offers challenging blacks for advanced skiers and bunny slopes for the kiddos. The cost of the ski experience at Loveland is where the real value is. Overall, this is my go to spot for a quick ski trip getaway.

Great value ski resort. Very well maintained, easy parking, nice staff.

Great ski area, been going to Loveland for 13 years, amazing experience every time.

I started snowboarding this year and Stacy Smith has been a great coach. He has a way of explaining things that allows you to understand the techniques needed to succeed and grow as a new snowboarder. Great customer service, too.
I fell and hurt my tailbone a couple weeks ago during a lesson and didn't feel like continuing for another two hours. Stacy and one of the managers, Greg, I believe his name is, were able to comp me the last 2 hours of the lesson so it could be re-scheduled. This is the kind of service that will keep me coming back for seasons to come. Great place.

Great place for beginners to go and get a ski lesson. Highly recommend. Not far from the city.

Excellent place to learn skiing and riding. Friendly staff. Really good food prices. Lots of pow. And you don't have to go through the tunnels!

Loveland is Colorado last best kept secret. The staff is awesome and very friendly. This is my second trip this year to Loveland. Very fair prices on pretty much everything. Chris abad is who you should ask for when needing anything while in Loveland. Thanks again

old colorado skiing still exists! reasonable lift ticket prices and amazing terrain. cant wait to go back!

Great place to learn how to ski or snowboard. Wide lanes with a gentler slope, bit busy but the waits weren't horrible. If you're a beginner, go here

Snow is good. All levels of terrain. Great place to learn to ski and snowboard. Instructors are so good with my school's ski club kids!! Prices are reasonable. Cheap compared to others on i70. Loveland is such a good place.

As a beginner it was very easy for me to start here and beside that is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

One of my favorite mountains to snowboard. Close to the city and very reasonable lift tickets. Get there early!

Awesome location. Great, humble staff. The prices are super reasonable. Skiing itself is not cheap but their pieces are lower than other ski resorts nearby. If you re a beginner looking for a good experience and a lot of fun, you re going to like Loveland. Great views, cheap prices and helpful staff. You can save some money by bringing your lunch also. They have a storage locker for you to rent if you decide to bring some food or simple store some belongings. There is also a cafeteria with food and refreshments. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Perfect place for beginners. Went snowboarding with my daughter who only had gone a few times and me first time in 16 years. The hill size was perfect.

Great ski area, if you're intermediate or advanced. Not a lot of runs for beginners (even greens are more like beginner blues). If you know how to ski or ride though this place is fantastic! Can't beat the prices or short lines!

Low key and fair prices. The bueaty of a ski area that is not a resort

Don't get me wrong, I love everything about this place, just want everyone to go elsewhere!!!

Good prices, good size place, and overall great slopes!
Slow lift.

It's not completely open, but for the beginning of the season they have a good amount of slopes open. People are pretty friendly, staff and mountain goers included.

This is such a great place to learn to ski or snowboard. If you've never done either or one, try their lift ticket that includes 3 lessons. It's such a great deal.

Jeff and Adam are both amazing instructors. My son took two lessons with Jeff and is now hooked. My one lesson with Adam was great. I started out scared to death. By the end of the day I actually had fun. Neither of us can wait until next year!

A great place for a short drive to hit powder. The runs are great. The back areas are the best lift 9 for sure.

Could use newer lifts. But for 70 bucks I wont complain that much

Between the valley and the basin you cannot beat Loveland. It is by far the best commute from Denver to the lifts. The kids lesson pack is also the best deal in town.

great mix of blue and black diamond terrain, price is right too, wasn't too crowded the days we were there

It's got a great range of terrain. People are chill and it is a great place to bring you kids. Feel free to pack a cooler, tailgate or just bring a sack lunch. Also Loveland is affordable.

My first time skiing in several years and I had a blast. They have good group prices and plenty of slopes of varying difficulty.

Affordable and nice place. Free parking is right next to the lifts!

Cheap for tickets $109 to rent everything..Friendly staff and nice slopes

Colorado locals go to ski area. The 4 packs we purchase in the fall make it the most affordable place in Colorado. Snow is always great. A bit windy sometimes. Lots of bluebird days.
