A Perfect Colorado Ski Day at Eldora Mountain Resort!

We spent the day skiing at Eldora Mountain Resort. Glorious! Great snow, clear blue sunny skies, warm, a perfect Colorado day on the slopes.

Our two kids both took a lesson and I couldn't believe what a great deal Eldora has at their ski school. A full day lesson 9:30am-3:15pm, equipment rental, lunch and snacks for $99 and that includes the lift ticket! Class size seemed to only be around 8.

Kids get to use the "Magic Carpet" lift which is so much easier than trying to learn using a rope tow, t-bar or chair lift.

Both our ten year old daughter and six year old son learned lots, had GREAT times and can't wait to get back.

If you're a little rusty, have never skied before or have children, Eldora Mountain Resort's ski school has a tremendous reputation and I will personally vouch for it. You should give it a try.

Need lodging? Check out the Boulder Ski Escape packages offered by the Alps Boulder Canyon Inn. After a day of skiing, the Alps is just a short drive from Eldora Mountain Resort.

Relax with a glass of wine in front of your rooms real wood burning fireplace or rejuvenate weary muscles in a room with a double "Jacuzzi" tub for two.

Don't forget to enjoy the Inn's nightly selection of complementary homemade desserts. I highly recommend the Key lime pie.
