Where to avoid Christmas week crowds?
Can anyone list a few ski areas where one can actually ski and not just
stand in line? Hope to ski during the M-F Christmas to New Years week somewhere in the southwest USA. That means California, Utah, Colorado or New Mexico. Most moderate beginners and light intermediate skiing. |

Anywhere in the states between 8am and 10:30am; then again from 12noon to 1pm; and again after 3pm. |

I read about this resort on MSN. Its supposedly not as big as Aspen but gets the job done. Lodging around this place is not touching the sky either. I am actually planning on going there myself. Lift tickets are also reasonable |

Yeah, but anyone who flies into Denver and drives past Winter Park,
Loveland, A-Basin, Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, Vail and Beaver Creek to go to Sunlight is a fool. |

Well, that may be true but I can tell you that after 20 years of skiing
in Colorado I have never waited in a 30+ minute liftline. As far as lift tickets go, get them pre-season and they are a lot cheaper. Right now you can still find 4-passes on Ebay for under $200. But if you really want to get away from the crowds, go to Montana. Big Sky, Bridger Bowl and others have great snow, great terrian and no crowds. snoig |
