Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Colorado 'confidential' - the raw comments of resort users

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The US magazine 'Ski' regularly polls its readers to produce rankings of American resorts. This is something a little more tasty - Bill Husted, a columnist for The Denver Post, has got hold of "more than 150 pages of quasi-confidential comments submitted by thousands of readers" to the same magazine.

Here are his pickings from that selection (and very limited they are, unfortunately), maybe geared to keeping Colorado on its toes.

Any comments from those who know the resorts quoted?

I would agree with:

Beaver Creek: "Gets so much attention for luxury - people don't realize it's a pretty good ski mountain"

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Beaver Creek is the only ski area I've ever visited where every child-portion death cookie had a little flag on the piste marking the hazard. The patrollers yell at anyone skiing too fast there, too.

I wish I'd been skiing with a lawyer because he would have been hugely enthusiastic about these measures. Agree with Fox, though - there's some good skiing on beautifully profiled slopes. Most of the visitors are lazing around in front of 20ft open fireplaces in vast 'hunting lodges', while there's more fun to be had elsewhere - so there's great potential for cruising around empty slopes at the right time of day.

Steamboat: "Snooty and unfriendly, overpriced ... The most friendly resort we have ever gone to ... I want to retire here now ... Weak nightlife and chance to hook up."

I keep going back to Steamboat. Have always found it friendly and no problems with nightlife - allthough I'm normally to knackered to explore it thoroughly.


Vail: "$16 a day to park is obscene ... Best overall ski resort I have ever been to ... Vail sucks money out of your wallet faster than a Hoover Deluxe ... Full of rich and famous, service people are snobs ... The most overrated ski resort in America. The best resort in the world ... It's big and rich ... Too glitzy. Women stopping midmountain to apply makeup. Too groomed ... It's Vail. C'mon! It's all good! ... Lots of poseurs.

Hmmm. Fantastic skiing and they dont groom the backbowls. Expensive though, and parking is a nightmare. There is a free bus service. Definately full of the rich Texan type. Didn't go out as I couldn't afford it! rolling eyes

i think the texan reference applies more aptly to Breck as opposed to keystone.
