Snow skiing questions

[BTLowry]

Thanks for all the info

No idea what a "ski town vibe" is

Decent skiing and lower numbers of people are more important

Ski Cooper was cool little place outside Vail about 30min. We did 2 days skiing there and 2 days at Vail. I say we….I destroyed my left knee the first day. I had gummies and watched Narcos on Netflix while everyone else went skiing. 3 surgeries later, a cadaver ACL and meniscus, I won’t be skiing anymore. Have fun and be careful wherever you decide to go.

Purgatory is good skiing but food options are limited unless you want to drive about an hour.
Enjoy Keystone. Go during the week.

Thank me later! We took our 9 yr boys on spring break. Not crowded at all, lift tickets come with the hotel stay

They skied by themselves after the first day

Don't go to Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper or Vail. Lol. Massive crowds. New Mexico is your spot.

I like Red River in my older years. I hate lift lines now. Very nice little town. The ski area is small but has some nice runs. You can drive 30 minutes to Taos or Angelfire as well.

Definitely go in Jan or Feb. Cheaper and less crowded. You can stretch president's day into a long weekend if kids are in school.

Red River, Wolf Creek, Purgatory, Durango are good for families.

This is what you want here. Plus everyone you meet will be from TX.

Steamboat isn’t too bad either outside of the holidays and festivals.

Mid Jan-late Feb is the time to go skiing. Lower crowds, biggest base levels, highest probability of fresh powder.

Steamboat and Winter Park are both family friendly resorts. As far as time to go, really anytime but weather wise I would probably target late February before spring break.

Purgatory is not bad, took my family and had a great time.
Another place that is much harder to get to but not crowded at all is Targhee Ski Resort, really cool place.

Targhee looks awesome! thanks for the tip!

Ski cooper! I live 2 hours from there. Way smaller than all the big resorts, it’s priced really well and never gets crowded. Fun time

Not park city utah i can tell you that. It kicked our @$$. I felt like the whole time i was skiing i was going to go off the mountain. There where no big bowls to ski in and help teach someone how to cut and turn.
