I'm taking a trip to Denver over winter break this year. my friends and I are planning on staying around 5 days and want to ski at least 2-3 days of our stay. we definitely want to ski breck one day, but we don't know where else to go. as college students, we are trying to keep our costs to a minimum, and a day ticket to breck isn't looking too cheap. are there any other mountains close (within 3 hours of Denver) we could ski the other days that won't break the bank? thanks guys.

Loveland, Arapahoe Basin and Eldora are the ski areas close to Denver

Winter Park, Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, Vail and Beaver Creek are the ski resorts close to Denver

Depending on when you're in town Ruby Hill may be open.

You should buy the keystone 4 days pass now. they stop selling it Monday. you have 4 days at keystone and A-Basin for 189. So even if you only go 2 of the days its still gonna be cheaper than day tickets when you are out there. Do it, it's the move to make- http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/passes/keystone-four-pack.aspx

Just go to ruby hill and hike urban or bc. Paying to ski the other mountains supports the corporations that destroy the world. Corporations are destroying the environment while pocketing all the money in the world and growing huge and powerful and nobody can stop them unless we stop giving them money and show them we want change.
