Skiing & Nordic at Howelsen Hill

Local favorite

Colorado's oldest continuously operated ski area, running since 1915. It has produced more Olympians (100+) than any other ski area in the world. Watch for the Olympic ski jumps from the lifts. Groomed Nordic trails wind along the base for classic and skate skiing.
