Skiing- Whether you have been skiing your whole life or have never even seen a snowflake, you will have many options when it comes to my personal favorite Colorado activity. Some of the popular resorts include Keystone, Aspen-Snowmass, Arapahoe Basin, Winter Park, and Telluride. A lot of these ski areas are located off of I-70 and all offer lots of terrain for all skill levels. Rentals are available if you don't have your own equipment throughout most Colorado cities, as well as at the ski resorts. There are also many lesson plans and lodging available at most ski resorts in Colorado.
