The Front Range only has 3 areas officially. And two are pretty great.
In other news: it's snowing!!

Tiny snowflakes, pathetic, crooked snowflakes.
It's dumping YUUUUGE...it's gonna be amazing folks...
On my first day riding chairlifts, I'm going to make a mark, believe me, a huge mark on the TGR and social media folks...
loveland, eldora, and echo?
Which one is pretty great (besides loveland)?
(i guess i was incorrectly lumping summit/eagle counties with the front range). Skiing in the front range/summit/eagle county is fun, but the terrain clearly doesn't compare to Jackson. Southern Colorado does.
YAY FOR SNOW!!!
I believe Sleigh Basin and Keystone would also technically be a part of the Front Range mountains. So there's 5 total.

^^^Beat me to it, and don't sleep on WP.
WP, Keystone, A Basin, Loveland, Eldora, and "Echo". 6 Front Range areas.
Two "Williams Fork Mountains" in the state....who knew.
Snowing in Arvada now, stay in the mountains yo!
Excuse me, but I do have a day job and it's 1066 miles from Breckenridge; so I usually can't give precise weather reports.
as soon as LeBron wants to donate to a needy skier, I'm set to move.
And for anyone else out there that has been waiting for a serious snowstorm to roll thru Breckenridge but also doesn't live there; this is about the best webcam there is, it's live and I think it's got audio(sounds like snow hitting what would be parts off a webcam; but could be just internet noise): http://www.earthcam.com/usa/colorado...?cam=beaverrun
My bad, I never thought Keystoner was technically part of the range. I forgot WP, silly me. And I think Echo is being sold once again?
Nobody's comparing Jackson terrain to Front Range/SuCo terrain. But considering there's good terrain like that near a good city, I'm happy.
Back to weather - looks like high pressure next week? So will most of this snow melt?
2-3" at Vail and seems to be done for now.
stoked asf
I was hoping the front range (not the mountains) would miss the snow so we could break the latest, first snow fall date (Nov 21). It would only seem right with the warm dry weather this fall. oh, so close.
Friend hunting on Stillwater Pass said solid 10" up there already, just hammering.
Looks like 7" at Loveland today? Maybe 4.5" at Breck (they'll report 6" :) ).
How did other locations do?
It's still snowing in Vail.
super deep in Fort Collins City Park

I'd disagree with that map. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say Crested Butte is in the West Elk Mountains. CO Geologic Survey map:
