skierman_jackIdk man. I leave campus at 6 and I’m at Eldora by 7:45. No traffic until the resort entrance, stoke off the charts, sick park and no lines. As an east coaster I couldn’t ask for more. Complaining about I-70 traffic is not a new or exciting opinion.
Jemshow much you spending on gas though?

DingoSeani70 traffic? Don't you mean i25 traffic? lol.
Ft. Collins is filled only with backcountry skiers. Aint nobody gonna drive to the Front Range to ski with a bunch of kooks when you have RMNP and Cameron Pass far closer and without the mad traffic. Might as well just drive to Steamboat rather than dealing with the i70 nonsense. Will probably take you the same amount of time...
ReturnToMonkeyWyoming seems way better than csu. They get literally all of the state's educational funding. But fort collins is objectively better than laramie. If you're driving from foco to i-70 resorts, you're a fucking moron. Or if you take i-25. Take 287 to longmont, then go to eldora, its the only smart option. Eldora's not too bad at all, except the parking is atrocious and the visibility often sucks. Also there's the large number of deaths...
Or you could just stop caring about skiing and focus on party life like most of my ski friends who went to csu
BiffbarfDoes snowy range have a good park? I remember some talk about it in the last few years here on NS. Hill's pretty meh otherwise imo
DingoSeanI mean it's half the price of an Epic pass and its 30 mins out of town. I'd imagine a midweek powder day there would be pretty sweet even if the terrain isn't anything wild.
Hell, it's not like places such as Copper or Keystone are anything impressive in terms of terrain anyway... Sure they have sick parks, but thats it.
DingoSeanEldora's parking lot has been filling up before 8am though... Like, there were idiots trying to ram the parking attendants over it the other week...
Laramie at least has an hour shorter trip to Steamboat, so it wins in that situation for sure. It also has Snowy Range ski area like 30 mins out of town - not the most thrilling place in the world so I understand, but also its a lot closer lift access than anything FoCo has so that's pretty cool. (someone from ft collins could get there in an hour 1/2 i guess? since its only like an hour to laramie?)
Laramie as a town, probably not as cool as Ft. Collins, but Its still a college town, and I guess if you're focused on classes, and skiing on your off-days, it's also a pretty good spot to be as a skier.
