There are some things we would like you to keep in mind for your first visit: everyone learns at a different pace, for both yourself and others it’s important to keep your expectations reasonable. “Factors that can affect learning to ski or snowboard include your attitude (how open you are to new things), age, and physical ability. Both skiing and snowboarding take specialized skills that improve with time and practice.” The good news is that we have experienced instructors to teach all skill levels, beautiful groomed terrain to practice and a long ski season to hone your skills. If you enjoy snowboarding, our three terrain parks offer something for everyone. We are always working on the terrain parks and adding new features so you have new adventures every time you visit.

Another thing we remind our visitors at Eldora: “Following the “Colorado Ski Safety Act”, the “Your Responsibility Code”, and the “Freestyle Terrain Use Guidelines” will help all skiers and snowboarders have a safer mountain experience.” Information on all these safety guidelines can be found at the Resort website. We are easy to find and are close to Boulder, Colorado outside of Nederland. If you want to ride on public transportation to get here, the RTD bus comes from the Boulder main station at 14th and Canyon. CU students/Eco pass holders ride FREE! Otherwise, the fare for routes N & B is $4.00 one way. We want to see you at Eldora and hope that your plans can include a great time with us.
