Clear Creek County Skiing and Snowboarding
Loveland Ski Area, located on the west side of Clear Creek County is nestled high atop the Continental Divide and provides spectacular views of the entire area. Locals brag that average snowfall of 400 inches per year makes Loveland the best place in Colorado to bring your skis or snowboard. The area offers 1,265 acres of terrain, ranging from easy green runs at Loveland Valley's beginner area to the double black diamond pitches of the highest lift served terrain in the Northern Hemisphere. Since Loveland is usually one of the first ski areas in the country to open and one of the last to close, you can hit the slopes from mid-October through mid-May! Loveland Ski Area has everything you need including rental equipment, sport shops, day care, cafeterias and bars, and one of the best ski schools in Colorado. Found yourself in Colorado not prepared to ski? Don't worry, Loveland's Day Tripper Special will provide everything you need to enjoy some of the best skiing or riding in the world. If you only have a few hours, try Loveland's Flex ticket, which allows you to ski or ride any four consecutive hours of the day. Only 12 miles west of Georgetown, take I-70 west to exit 216. For more information contact Loveland Ski Area at 303-571-5580 or 1-800-736-3SKI (3754) or visit www.skiloveland.com. It's Higher, It's Closer. It's Right at the Divide.

Echo Mountain Snowboard and Ski Park is Colorado's first area dedicated solely to snowboarding and freestyle skiing, with music, night riding and a lodge partly dedicated to video-gaming. Echo Mountain is just 45 minutes west of Denver accessed by Exit 240 in Idaho Springs just past Mt. Evans Scenic Byway. Music from the likes of Ludacris thumps across 30 acres of jumps and pipes built by Planet Snow Design and the 8000 square foot base lodge, with its austere industrial styling resembles a SoHo loft. Echo Mountain is the newest model of ski area made up of nothing but rails, hits, jibs and jumps. Echo Mountain is the next step in the snowy new-school revolution sparked by young, flashy-belted hipsters who have married skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding and surfing into an urban aeronautical groove on snow.
