Eldora

Category: Outdoor Recreation

Conveniently located just 21 miles west of Downtown Boulder, CO, Eldora Mountain Resort is an easy 40 minute drive or hour bus ride from Boulder. One of the few Colorado ski resorts on the east side of the continental divide, the easy accessibility of Eldora makes it most popular with day skiers staying in nearby towns and Colorado locals. Whether you cross country or downhill ski, snowboard, or snowshoe, Eldora has something for you.

Despite its close proximity to the Denver metropolitan area, Eldora is still an impressive mountain: its longest run is 3 miles long, it has over 680 acres of skiable terrain, has a double black diamond, and receives nearly 300 inches of snow a year. Gear can be rented at the resort or nearby in the Boulder, and both individual and group lessons mean that anyone can learn! Eldora's convenient location and number of gentler runs make it a great mountain for beginners, families, and experts alike.
