Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 23, 2018 Author Report Posted October 23, 2018 Leaning towards Copper at the moment.

Expand Where do you think would be better for a vaca with kids that would be less crowded from Dec 24 to 26 that is within a couple hours of Denver?

Expand I doubt the back bowls are gonna be open that early in the season unless it dumps like crazy. Some of that terrain has some steep sections but nothing like the Pali lift at ABasin or most of the blacks at Jackson hole. Ski2Live the days you’re skiing are not crowded times..the holiday at ski resorts starts in earnest beginning the 26th. The 24th and 25th most people are celebrating little baby Jesus birthday and roasting chestnuts on an open fire. Edited October 23, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

Lodging on site = they can take a break and watch a movie in the room while I do some runs on my own. Expand When you put it that way...copper will be hard to beat. with lodging on site you are limited to copper, breck, vail, keystone and beaver creek. All of those locations will be crowded that week. Christmas is not as crowded, but christmas eve can be. GSS is right that Dec 26-31 is far worse. Of the list noted above, Breck has the best terrain, Keystone is probably most interesting for kids and copper is middle of the road in both departments. If you want to ski really good terrain, I would try to sneak away to the A-Basin for a day if Pali is open by then. Edited October 23, 2018 by jordan 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I think Pali is too difficult for Ski2Lives skill level.. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 23, 2018 Author Report Posted October 23, 2018 Possible, there are certainly some things in the Rockies that are beyond me. Either way I won't be trying it this trip. If I do any skiing without the kids it will be at the resort we are staying at. 2 Quote
