  Fourth of July in the mountains

• Apertura

  Ski season

  7 Nov – 25 Abr · normalmenteMucha gente

Máxima afluencia — Ski season, Ullr Fest

• Riesgo

  Avalanche season

  1 Dic – 30 Abr

  Colorado's continental snowpack builds weak layers early and keeps them all winter, which is why the state leads the country for avalanche deaths. Read the Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecast before anything outside the ropes, including the pass roads. Fuente ↗

  Ullr Fest

  17–19 DicGran festivalMucha genteCierres

  Three days of ritual snow-begging to the Norse god of winter, built round a deliberately silly Main Street parade and a record attempt at the world's longest shotski. It runs the week before the Christmas rates kick in. Fuente ↗

• Festivo

  Christmas to New Year ski peak

  20 Dic – 3 Ene · normalmenteNavidad y Año NuevoMucha genteReserva pronto

  The week from Christmas to New Year is the busiest of the ski season: lodging and lift-ticket prices reach their highs, ski school and rentals book out and lift lines are longest. Book months ahead, and early-season snow cover varies year to year. Fuente ↗
