COME TO LIFE Eldora Eldora’s proximity to Boulder and Denver is one of the reasons it’s known as a “locals’ mountain.” The fact that they have terrain to keep the whole family busy all day doesn’t hurt either. The Eldora Nordic Center features a network of nearly 25 miles of peaceful cross-country-ski and snowshoe trails just steps from the downhill ski area. Woodward Eldora, part of the well-known action-sports Woodward family, uses its progression-based system to teach anyone to master new tricks and skills on snowboards or skis. Crested Butte With wide-open green and blue trails, expert bowls and plenty of unexplored lines and uncrowded slopes, there are countless thrilling options for all skill levels at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. For a once-in-a-lifetime educational experience, check out their Ski with an Olympian program, where you can take a lesson with Olympic freeskiing champion Wendy Fisher. Once you’ve put away your skis and boards, consider a more relaxing activity. Spend the evening sinking into a soothing massage at Creekside Spa, where you can remove any knots earned on a long day of shredding.
