Spring Break Options - Keystone Mar 6-13
My kids' school has an 'early' spring break the week of Mar 6-13,
2004. We are tentatively planning a 5 day trip to Keystone staying at the Hidden River Lodge. Does anyone have any thoughts about what the crowds might be like at that time. I did some searching and it appears that most spring breaks start the week after we will be there. Also, any comment on the bus system. Our kids are 4 and 7 and will be in the ski school. Is it a realistic walk from the Hidden River Lodge, or will we need to bus in each morning? Finally, and recommendation on rentals for skis and boards? Thanks, David |

David, My advise would be if you are worried about crowds dont go to any of the
resorts off of the I70 corridor. Have you ever been to Mt. Crested Butte? It is a destination resort unlike the ones that sit on the interstate so it is MUCH less crowded. I own a condo there and we rent it out when we aren't using it. Unfortunately we are rented the week you are going to be in CO, but I would still suggest that you consider CB. My website is www.iskicb.com and we have links to several of the community sites. If you have a few moments give it a look. I hope you and your family have a great time. LA |

Spring Break Options - Keystone Mar 6-13
Hi David
We were at Wolf Creek Pass the same week last year; not bad at all so far as crowds. Prices a lot better also than the "big names." Drawback is no lodging at the ski area; must drive from South Fork or Pagosa Springs (either one is about 20 miles); we stay at South Fork as I like the drive better. You can contact me back channel at bcl at grandecom dot net for more info, pix from week before Christmas, etc. if you'd like. Lew in Waco, TX. "David Leach" wrote in message ...

I did stay at the Nordic Inn once though, and it was a pretty cool place. http://www.crested-butte.com Disclaimer: Yes, I built their website. But anyone that knows me knows I tell it like it is. I like this place, and would gladly stay there if I were in Crested Butte. ---------------------- Chester Bullock, Colorado Mountain Cams, Snow Conditions, Opinionated Reports http://www.black-diamond.com AIM: tenxible YahooIM: ccb247 |
