Colorado is known worldwide as a destination for skiing due to it's dry climate producing light blower powder throughout the region. Some mountains tend to receive and maintain Colorado powder better than others but you can't go wrong skiing in Colorado mid-season.
When compared to many ski regions around the world, Colorado produces what is considered high quality powder throughout winter with some resorts opening as early as November and closing as late as June. With front range skiing including resorts as close as Eldora linking you to backcountry terrain and remote hut networks spanning across the continental divide there are skiing objectives open to skiers of all experience levels across Colorado.
