Hopefully it’s open next time we visit!

Forgot about fantasy ridge, it would make the top 5.

@@snowboardtraveler Good review, though. Keep up the good work. Got some terminal here last night, nice to see the snow.

Hope you can check a few more this season!

Thanks!! Love to hear it! Where have you been?

Not until later November usually

Ugh bummer, it wasn’t a luxe experience by any means for us but it was fine/clean

We don’t go in with much of a plan besides trying to cover all the terrain. Then the video is based more on how our experience went. That usually means a ton of footage that I have to edit into a watchable 5 minutes. Are you filming yourself the whole time? That is a challenge of its own. Keep it up!

Thanks, I use a GoPro 12, 360 and a gimbal. I bought a wireless lav' microphone, but haven't used it yet. It is impressive the way you edit it all together. I just started writing scripts on the last few. For whatever reason I've decided I want to get better at reading a teleprompter...ha. I have a ton more footage from last winter in Colorado. I think this winter I'm going to come up with a good plan before I visit the ski resorts. I appreciate your insight. Think I'm just nervous to go full KZbinr on the mountain, but I like you and your wife on the mountain speaking. Thanks again!

Have a great trip!

Mid December can be hit or miss each snow year but all the resorts will be making snow if needed so there will be coverage on beginner and intermediate runs. Winter Park is a solid choice as they are higher elevation and have decent snow by then. It’s large enough to spend a week there. If you want to split the week up, try winter park then Copper. The 4-day ikon session pass would cover both resorts if you go before Dec 26 (black out dates end of Dec). The alternative trip would be Keystone and then you could split it up and also visit Breckenridge or Vail. All 3 are on the epic pass and somewhat close to each other. Based on today’s pricing you can get a 5-day epic pass for similar price as the 4-day ikon session.

@@snowboardtraveler Thank you for your detailed response, appreciate it

Where are you visiting from? As first timers are you looking for lessons or just easy beginner terrain along with a decent village for food/ activities?

@@snowboardtraveler we’re from texas. Don’t think we’ll ever get the chance to do this again so idk about lessons.

I assume you’re driving up from TX. If you want the big resort experience then Breckenridge and Keystone are good options. Plenty of beginner terrain and lots of activities to do besides skiing. For something off the beaten path one idea is angel fire New Mexico, then Taos NM, and then drive up to purgatory near Durango CO. More mountain driving but less crowded, still decent resorts for beginners.

Do it, can’t go wrong

Depends on the snow year and the resort. Runs will likely be limited. Full terrain doesn’t usually open until late Dec or early Jan.

@@snowboardtraveler do you know a good place to get lessons or do all resorts offer lessons

Most if not all offer lessons. Where are you thinking of going? Pricing usually depends on the resort. Aspen is going to be more expensive than Keystone for example for a lesson.

@@snowboardtraveler I’m looking at vail

So do we, it keeps us coming back with so many awesome areas to explore

Ooph, sorry you had a rough experience too… Hope you had some good pow days elsewhere this winter!

We went a bit late for the ideal snow but lucked out with a good snow storm. I’d say aim for mid February to early March for best conditions. There are new great hotels for spa, apres, and other activities off the slopes. Montage!

And you can add in Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole to make it an extended road trip if you want.

Thanks! That means a ton! We need to get back again, it’s a fun resort

Snow is still coming down. Great late season year here.

Awesome, hope you have a great trip!

Planning for some late season turns early April.

It’s pretty far from Telluride. ~2.5 hour drive over two mountain passes and around more mountains.

We’d been wanting to go for a while and it was worth it.

Chairlift police to the rescue!

There used to be a comment that addressed this but seems deleted. I’ve pinned another one with the correction. The seats definitely feel warm if the sun is coming in.

Alaska next then Canada, sorry

@@snowboardtraveler I'd love to see Alaska too, be sure to hit up Alyeska

I recommend a splitboard! That’s what we did to keep exploring on boards

Skiing on pow is not that fun

RED mountain, a 3 hour drive north just over the Canada border

Japan is definitely on the list. Enjoy the rest of your season!

Yes please! Where was this last video taken and when?

@berrysilver4004 this was at RED Mountain Resort BC, about a year ago.

We haven’t been this season but the recent storms should set it up for good conditions. Enjoy!
