The Best Skiing near Highlands Ranch

Winter in Colorado means hot chocolate, building snowmen, and hitting the slopes. Whether you enjoy skiing or snowboarding, here are three destinations near our Highlands Ranch apartments that offer unforgettable fun:

Echo Mountain

With the most affordable skiing in the Front Range, it’s no wonder that Echo Mountain draws a crowd. Skiing began here in the 1960s, and a recent renovation expanded the beginner area and added a tubing hill. The projected opening date is November 29th, and hours will be extended until 9:00 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. 

Echo Mountain is also home to a talented team of ski and snowboard ambassadors. They’re found in the beginner area and offer tips so that everyone can get the most out of their time on the mountain. 

Eldora Mountain

A favorite among locals, Eldora Mountain features the best snow-making system in Colorado. It’s easily the most accessible resort in the Front Range and is one of the state’s smallest ski destinations with 1,600 vertical feet. Visitors find downhill ski areas, terrain parks for snowboarding, and miles of cross-country trails that are also used for snowshoeing.

Eldora also offers beginner adult lessons. The first level introduces participants to snow and foundational skills. Students don’t typically ride the lifts until they master the basics and progress to level two.

Loveland Ski Area 

Averaging 400 inches of snow every year, Loveland is one of Colorado’s best skiing and snowboarding destinations. It features 1,800 acres of diverse terrain and the world’s second-highest chairlift. Loveland is open for the 2019/2020 season, and its location offers unique skiing possibilities that you won’t find anywhere else. 

Visitors can also enjoy one-on-one lessons. The instructors welcome all abilities and offer personalized instruction that’s not available during group sessions. 

Skiing is just one of the wintertime activities that you can enjoy as a resident of our apartments in Highlands Ranch. For even more outdoor fun, check out nearby Golden Gate Canyon State Park. If you’re searching for a place to call home, please contact our leasing staff. They’d love to show you firsthand all we have to offer.
