Closest ski area to Colorado Springs?
Where is it? It could be any ski area - not just one of the larger areas
(http://www.coloradoski.com/resorts/index.cfm) - unless that is all there is? Just curious. Thanks. -- Marty |

Closest ski area to Colorado Springs?
The ski area closest to COS is Loveland.
2nd would be Breckenridge. When it is open (which is seldom), Cuchara Valley would be second. Cheers, TCS TCS (The Colorado Skier) Loveland opens in less than 3 months. |

And, from memory, if Berthond is open, isn't Winter Park closer than Breckenridge? C. |

And, from memory, if Berthoud is open, isn't Winter Park closer than Breckenridge? C. Here is a list, to the nearest 5 miles. Mileage from Colorado Springs to nearby Ski Areas: 115 Breckenridge 120 Loveland 125 Winter Park 125 A-Basin 130 Copper Mtn 130 Keystone 130 Monarch 140 Ski Cooper 150 Vail I believe that I previously indicated that Loveland was the closest. It is closer in Time rather than Miles. All freeway all the way - and no mountain passes to cross. However, Breckenridge is all two-lane road with one minor and one major pass to cross. My favorite was always Ski Broadmoor. About 5 miles. Cheers, TCS TCS (The Colorado Skier) Loveland opens in less than 3 months. |

Another that you mentioned was Cuchara Valley. Thanks! -- Marty |

smaller areas - or what is left of them. Are there many? Another that you mentioned was Cuchara Valley. (Sorry for the delay - I was on vacation) Lost ski areas is my hobby. How many would you like to hear about? In Colorado there were over 100. How about Pikes Peak, Tenderfoot Hill, Holiday Hills, Sharktooth, Arapahoe East, Squaw Pass, Berthoud (sadly), Geneva Basin, Hidden Valley, Red Mountain, Ski Dallas, Mesa Lakes, Rimrock, Marble, Stagecoach, etc., etc., TCS (The Colorado Skier) Loveland opens in about 2 months. |
