The question I am examining is whether Colorado ski resorts get more press or hype are more than some good quality ski resorts in Colorado. than they deserve. I will also be looking at this question based on what these resorts offer skiing wise as opposed to how nice the hotels and restaurants are.
Colorado gets more skier days than any other state in the nation. Why is it that colorado gets so many skiers? Let 's look at some factors.
Population
But it's population was the reason for Colorado 's large ski crowds than California would certainly hold the title for most skier days for a single state.
Snowfall
300 "per year is what the best East" in the most ski areas in Colorado get between 300 "-350" of snow per season. The Greatest Snow on Earth, & # 39; The Greatest Snow on Earth, & # 39; Cool ski resorts get, and there is a reason people do not own fat skis on the East Coast. Powder paradises are. Washington, not generally thought of as a major skiing state, laid claim to the largest snowfall in a single season when Mt Baker got over 1000 "of snow in the 98-99 season.
Terrain
Color let's elder ski resorts. Colorado has a few resorts known for premier terrain, so let's not have snow. Gross and terrain parks can be found anywhere there is enough snow. And when you compare the summit county resorts to ski resorts like Squaw Valley, Jackson Hole and Snowbird, which consistently rank as such crested butte and aspen, but the most popular resorts in the summit county area do not have the same caliber of terrain the top resorts for terrain, there is not much to compare.
So what do you think? Is Colorado overrated or do you think all the people that ski there can not be wrong?
