I live in Denver. My uncle lives in Steamboat. My best friend (who is the person I ski with 90% of the time I go with people) is going Keystone Plus, but he's having a kid here soon so I don't even know how much he'll be able to go.
I personally love the Ikon mountains. Copper is incredible, ABasin is great on a weekday, Eldora is nice to have when I'm not feeling i70 traffic and just want to hit their little park. Winter Park is an awesome vibe. And I can plan around huge storms to go up to Steamboat since they have an open guest room. Might even be able to scoot over to Aspen for a weekend.
I'm trying to save as much money as I can this year so I'm not gonna drop anything on out of state or country trips. If I went Ikon I feel like I'd do the full Ikon pass so I'd have unlimited at Steamboat.
I love snowboarding but it's not as fun going solo.
If you were me, what would you do?
If Ikon, anybody want a new snowboarding buddy?
