my favorite time of year

[djetok]

Hi all,

I am truly excited about this season. This season I plan on skiing at least 30 days. Being from oklahoma that will be a great season for me. Most of the trips will be crested butte, wolf creek, and monarch. We are looking at joining the okc ski club as well. We typical ski 90 percent blues and black.

I have skied almost all the big resorts but tend to gravitate to the local mountains. We went to monarch last year and like it a lot as a family. What other resorts should I look at. Cooper?

Copper is a great mountain that would give you a lot of terrain variety. It's pretty cool how the terrain is naturally divided from the green side to the black side.

If your headed to Taos you also might look at Ski Santa Fe, my home mountain. I’ve had a lot of students who come from OK and it seems (depending on where in OK they are driving from) that we are a closer drive than other places in CO and at lower prices. Ski Santa Fe is not a destination resort but there are plenty of really nice places in Santa Fe (16 miles down the mountain). There are some ski packages available. Typically Santa Fe has the same snow conditions/weather as Taos. Late season dumps at both seem more common than early season ones. Holidays get really busy here as well as most weekends, but not a problem if you get up there early and like the upper mountain.

Have fun getting your 30 days in. That seems to be a cool plan, hitting so many areas. I’ll be going to Breckenridge, Keystone and Winter Park for clinics, maybe some others in late spring. I still get a charge out of visiting different areas and experiencing the local vibe.
