The closest ski resort to Denver is the Loveland Ski Area and this is one of the Denver Ski resorts where all the locals go. The Loveland Ski area sees 400″ of snowfall every year. If you have ideas of fulfilling a childhood dream of walking on clouds, walking on these fluffy pillows of snow is probably as close as you are going to get to that dream.
Denver ski resorts offer the opportunity for dreams to become reality for skiers, snowboarders and visitors alike. Loveland is situated 53 miles from Denver at the Arapaho National Forest. It is just as popular amongst the locals of this area as it is amongst tourists, and they always say that locals know the best places to go.
This ski resort provides 1,365 acres, all of them skiable. It is the 10th largest Denver resort which caters for skiers and the season generally starts around late October, which is much sooner than most ski resorts in the US. Man made snow provides a minimum of an 18″ base and as soon as the natural snow starts to fall fresh coverage is provided. The man made base snow minimizes the chances of ice patches.
Anyone wanting to experience Rocky Mountain snow will find Denver ski resorts and Loveland in particular, to be a fantastic destination. The south side has mild slopes but on the north side more aggressive terrain can be found, so there is something available for skiers of all levels of expertise.
The double-black diamond and black diamond runs provide a death defying ski ride for the daredevils, while intermediary skiers will also find the ideal challenge. You will be able to find a map and directions to this resort online at the Loveland site. The resort offers different skiing programs for adults and kids, and tots and teens are encouraged to enjoy the pleasures of snowboarding. They also have an All Terrain All Conditions clinic available for skiers with advanced capabilities, and there is nothing better than enjoying a mouthwatering barbecue at the Basin Deck after a hard days skiing.
