Boulder CO

[Vermonter]

Alright a buddy of mine already in CO told me to check out this site an i gotta say it seems pretty sweet. Im headin out to CU at boulder next year an when i visited i went skiing at winter park. Course when i compare that to what we got here in VT is was pretty goddamn incredible, but the long ride was a bit of a bummer. I just remember that there was another smaller mtn closer by an i was wondering if anyone here knew what it was called so i could look into what they have there, if they have a website or anything i could check out. Cant wait to get out into that pow pow, thanks for any help.

A.) its called CU Boulder, not UC

B.) The close small mountain is called Eldora, they have some good days each year...usually early season before the base becomes windswepts blue ice. Get a pass there cause its cheap, but also get a pass for Copper/WP or a 5-Mtn Pass (or all 3 if you a baller)

eldora blows. drive the extra 45 min or so to loveland at least. you'll get the hang of the drive.

[MadMatt]

"Analton, CO".

Opps, yeah....get a loveland pass.



will you have a car?


even if your parents don't want you do get a car make friends with some other dedicated skiers and buy a beater car.

One of my friends had a 300 dollar buick wagon and skied 70 days with it his freshmen year......tire chains are a beautiful thing.

[skiHOG]

yea, eldora sucks for the most part. the extra driving is well worth it.

[Pablo Escobar]

better get your dorm app in quick or you'll be stuck out in willy villy taking the loser cruiser into class.

see you at the home games. old alumni always bring in the good bourbon.

[Danno]

Eldora doesn't blow. Eldora CAN blow. But for a small mt, if you catch it on the right day it can be pretty fucking sweet. And there's a LOT to be said for avoiding I-70.

That having been said, I don't really ski Eldora.

Yeah....last season I had a day there in like late november/early december with like 20 fresh and like 40 people there.....that was fucking rad.

Eldora sucks so much, that the word "suck" can't even quantify how sucky it really is. Infact, I think the new word for something that sucks so incredibly much should be "eldora."

Used in a sentence, "marker bindings are so eldora."

That's nice. I like it.

[Nitro]

Love it....let me try..."The Chicago Cubs are so Eldora"

[brutah]

I can't believe someone from the east coast is moving to boulder

Is boulder a required stop when moving west from the east???

[arbuckle]

dont knock it that hard, im a CU student and when i have class at noon its nice to go up in the morning and get some turns for a quick half day, u dont wait in a lift line and even though they dont get dumped on as much, when they do its pretty nice.

but like danno i dont ski there that much either. like 10 days/year

[funkendrenchman]

4 years at Boulder

0 days at Eldora

[MakersTeleMark]

I once skied 28 days straight at Eldora. Is that Eldora?

[powbmps]

similar to funken:

5 years at Boulder

0 days at Eldora

I never felt that motivated to head up that way.

[Danno]

when the monster storm hit here in december, i had a 20+ day at eldora.

that's the only day I had there this year. but labelle works there, and she's had some sweet pow days this year. or at least that's what she's always claiming.

oh yeah..... 7 years in boulder (BA, BS, MA)

1 day at eldora (to try out tele)

even back in the 90's when you could get a pass + the bus back & forth for like $225 for the season, nobody went there.

that being said, any ski area (eldora, echo mtn, the new coors place by idaho springs) that keeps folks off I-70 is ok with me.

[PowTron]

yeah, and I grew up out EAST too....

Eldora is still better than most resorts out east, and it is nice to get to early in the AM before work/school....

personally, I like Eldora better than Winter Park....that place is BS....

[MadMatt]

Eldora has some nice steeps off the backside.

winter park is the suck.

[Vermonter]

Damn so i guess eldora isnt the place to be. Anyone here from CU know how the transportation works for the ski club cuz i cant have a car freshman year but im gonna beat the shit outta myself if im in CO an i dont get enough time on the mtn.

[Dside11-11]

The only place that sucks worse than Eldora is Loveland. Don't ever go there. It's flat and lame and makes you think you are better than you really are. Or something like that...
