I might have time to make a quick trip this week-end. Early season conditions in mind, blah blah, which would you choose between the two:
Eldora or Winter Park.
Those two are about the extent of my reach at this point (in drive time).

Go with Wanker Park. From what I hear they have more trails open and a deeper base.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I'm lazy and just want to do some lift service groomers. I did some repairs to my boot soles and got some new bindings and just want to test them out, etc. Thanksgiving I'm heading out to LCC.
Any other Northern CO suggestions?"Have fun, get a flyrod, and give the worm dunkers the finger when you start double hauling." ~Lumpy

Went up last weekend to the back side of Cameron pass not to bad but it did require a long skin in.
Let me me know if you need any more bata.

What do you mean by backside? West facing slopes? I've never explored the west side of the pass. How was the coverage? Did you get a peak over towards the Nokhu crags and Mt. R?

Been checking the Snotel, and it doesn't look good up there according to snow depth...

Went to Seven Utes, north facing slopes.
Pretty good conditions up there. Waiting to see what this next so called storm brings us.
Hey 72twenty, I sent you a pm about a ski shop in Laramie did you get it, if so any idea who i am talking about?
Thanks

Neither. Go to AspenMountain
if you can . . .
Skin/snowmobile/crawl to the top - Pumphouse, some others are nice right now.
Usually pretty good early season at the top.
