I never have had anymore fun than on a ski vacation to Vail I took a couple of years ago. Thanks for the article on Vail! When I go the next time I will check out "The Lodge" as a great place to stay.

I have visited the Denver area a couple of years ago and I loved it. Amazing nature so close to a big city and the powder was fantastic.

Colorado definitely has the powder. Being from the Northeast, I am used to skiing on hard pack and ice. Maybe someday I'll ski there.

This isn't really a vacation for me, I live in Colorado and I can say that skiing at Winterpark is everything you advertise it to be. I think it's great that you're here getting tourism for us.

I usually head to the Poconos and will have to put Winterpark on my list! Thanks!

Colorado is known world wide for its great snowfields but as a sunlover Id prefer to go to the Winter Park Music Festival and Ive been told the countryside is just as beautiful full of Spring flowers.

Last time I tried to ski I ended up in hospital with a separated shoulder, so now I do my skiing from the comfort of my wii. Or as a spectator and Colorado gets some beating when it comes to ski. Ha.. and the tought of that hot chocolate!

Hey! I like that! One inch of snow per day of the year! I do know that these are fabulous ski resorts, and this Hub confirms that point admirably. Also, proximity to an airport like Denver is also a big plus point, after a long flight.
