  Ski season

  Vail Mountain targets mid-November and runs to mid-April. The Back Bowls need a real base and rarely open in full before Christmas, so December skiing is front-side skiing. Fuente ↗

  The pass and the Eisenhower tunnel shut for storms, spun trucks and avalanche control several times a winter, and the traction law applies from the first snow. Build a spare day around a Saturday drive from Denver. Fuente ↗
