Trying to get a group trip together and most of the poeple want ski and ski out resort.
Are there any on the southside of Colorado, if not middle Colorado if possible? No one
wants to drive to the mountain...they want walking distance to the lifts.
Telluride and Crested Butte both have what you are looking for. It comes at a price of course, but if you're willing to pay, ski in ski out can be had no problem.
SnowmassAspen is another option. If you travel a bit more North and East, Steamboat, Winterpark, Copper, Vail, Breck, Keystone all have plenty of slopeside lodging options.
If we could do 3nights and keep just lodging to under $100 per night that would be nice. I could head north abit too. Coming from Oklahoma so typicall drive will be 10hrs or more.
You are probably not going to find slopeside lodging for under $100 a night. Maybe just north of that. Check Copper mountains website for packages. Crested Butte might have something but it'll most likely be in the town of Crested Butte and not the mountain, if at all. Good news is, there is more to do in town and the shuttle to mountain is free. Most other resorts have a free shuttle system.
If you want under $100 a night, you're either staying at a hostel, or looking at a short drive.
Thanks for all the help!!!!
The group decided on Winter Park. Got a 5 of us a one bedroom with queen, one bunk with twin on bottom/single on top, and fold out couch. Close enough to mountain for us to hit the shuttle. The other half of the group is doing their own thing in Winter Park so we will all just meet somewhere on the mountain.
I don't have my work schedule yet but I bet I will be around then. I do have some USASA excursions planned to Snowmass around then. I'm planning on giving some people some competition this season. They don't know that yet.
