F.R. Snowboarding Community

ooooohhhhh risk taka. jk Were all friends at frostyrider.com haha.

Na i dont live there - that must be cool to live out west and snowboard all the time in pow tho lol

Ya 100 for a lift ticket is just stupid lol. 
They shouldnt even have to make snow or anything out there which should make it cheaper.

Thats weird how can they sell tickets?  Craigslist sounds dangerous lol

I used to live in Colorado and the combination of reliable snow, terrain, and selection of mountains is really hard to beat.  Yeah, I know they get a lot of money for their day passes there, that's why I worked at the mountain most of the time (for the free pass as a perk).  For the times I didn't I got the Summit Pass (A.K.A. Buddy Pass).  It used to be like half the price.  Now it is $459.  But still a good buy if you are going more than 5 or 6 times that season.

Now if you are going to only be there for a weekend or something, here is a little secret.  You can get discounted lift passes from Safeway or King Soopers grocery stores.

I found this on the internet, may help if you plan on staying  in the Denver area.

Yeah, Frosty gave you probably the best place to buy a lift ticket, unless your a KBPI member on random wednesdays and can get a Breck lift ticket for $10. 

But another thing to remember is to fill up your tank before you leave Denver.  I am out in West Denver and gas here is around $1.59/gallon and up in Dillon/Silverthorne where Keystone is just on the other side of the divide, gas is still around $2.25/gallon.  In Idaho Springs it is up to $1.79 so it is a bit more but not as bad as across the divide.  Even in my SUV I can still make it to Breck and back without needing to fill up again.

Enjoy your time out here.  I am working those days that you are around here.  But a couple days later I will actually be in Northern Michigan at the resorts out there visiting family.
