I'm Writing About Ski Resorts for frommers.com
This season, I am writing ski resort profiles (called Slope Specs) and Rocky Mountain regional and global resort news for frommers.com. Now that the ski season is in our sights. It is finally cooling off in Colorado, it has reportedly been snowing in the Alps and New England ski areas are blowing snow like mad (and Bretton Woods, NH, is actually open). Despite the unseasonable warmth, the Denver Ski Show drew crowds this weekend, as savvy skiers and riders came to the Denver Convention Center to get good deals on lodging, lift tickets, packages, equipment and clothing. From Thursday through Sunday, it is the turn of New Englanders who can both get stoked and score deals at the upcoming Boston Ski Show. But back to frommers.com. You can see my first three resort profiles online: Killington, Keystone and Alpe d'Huez. While you're there, check up my ski news reports and other valuable travel information on the site.

ReplyDeleteIts a nice article.....
ReplyDeleteIn your research on Colorado skiing, have you come across any "up and coming" ski resorts? We are looking to possibily re-locate and would like to land where there is growth potential.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Colorado's newest ski areas are not ski resorts in the sense of a Vail, a Steamboat, a Keystone. Echo Mountain, along Squaw Pass Road, is located in Denver's western exurbs. Silverton Mountain, an experts-only ski area, is located 6 or 7 miles from the old mining town of Silverton is SW Colorado.
ReplyDeleteOlder ski resorts that have recently enjoyed cash infusions include Crested Butte (a town and a ski resort, about 30 miles north of Gunnison) and Purgatory/Durango Mountain resort (about 28 miles north of the town of Durango).
