So my family and I are in Glenwood Springs CO right now. We were at some of the Aspen mountains today and we don't want to go back to the same place tomorrow. Anyone been around here lately that knows the best resort open around here? I know which ones usually are the best but I'm talking about the most trails open right now. It seems like there isn't any snow anywhere.

Spark Notes: Which mountain is most open and highest quality snow in CO right now?

go to wolf creek.

the only mountain in colorado that is 100% open.

keystone isnt bad but limited and crowded this time of year, all of the resorts are going to be so wolf creek is your best bet imo.

Wolf Creek seems awesome but it's too far from Glensprings. How crowded would you say Keystone is?

ridiculously.

it depends on what you are used to i guess, if you go i would try and stay on north peak and avoid the zuma lift, that seems to get most crowded. if you are going to ski park a51 is super nice right now.

on my first lift ride up yesterday the summit express stopped five damn times. only one explanation.

texans.
