Trip Reports from Out West?

Nancy · Jan 18, 2006, 4:00 PM

Although I now live in Colorado, I still pop in this forum to see what I can learn (which is lots!)!

Is there any interest in my posting anything about my mini-trips to the CO and UT ski areas? I noticed that most of the trip reports are for areas in the great NE so wanted to check before I started rambling.

Thanks!

That might be dangerous today...a lot of forum members are wallowing in self-pity over the extended January thaw around here...

Seriously, I'd wait to see what one or more of the moderators has to say.

I would love to hear about your mini trips. The only thing I ask is that you post Pictures of your trips

I am sure most of us need a few POW pics.

Just post them in the general skiing forum, please.

I'd love to hear your reports and see the pictures. Hop to it!

I'd say that your trip reports may be beneficial to those of us on the East Coast planning trips to those resorts that you have already visited.

Your trip reports are probably going to make me want to cry

Hey AZ'rs, if anyone wants info on skiing UT, just ask me. Keep in mind, I go out there to ski, not for the "resort experience." I can't answer questions about the resorts even though I have visited them to ski (not stay), but I can help you plan a trip "on the cheap." Colorado skiing is great and the mountains are beautiful (I have skied Vail, Breckenridge, A-Basin, and Copper). But, they take much more effort to get to, and once there, you are at the mercy of "resort pricing." One of my three friends who went to UT with me last week has skied CO a couple of times and loved it. He was amazed at the quality of the skiing experience he has with us in UT, AND the low cost.
