![]() You would be very disappointed if you went to the wrong one. To avoid confusion the Utah ski resort renamed themselves "Nordic Valley Ski Resort". The lift tickets are also a lot less expensive than the typical Colorado destination resort and the lift ticket line might be the only line you see all day.īy the way, this Wolf Creek ski resort in Colorado should not be confused with the Wolf Creek resort lodging and Wolf Mountain ski resort, near Powder Mountain Utah. Without the shopping and restaurants of a glitzy resort, this little known resort doesn't have a "glam" reputation, but it is just right for the advanced skier who wants a variety of terrain and an abundance of snow. Wolf Creek resides on its' own in Southern Colorado, away from the masses from Denver who routinely head West to visit the resorts of Summit County. This resort is spectacular for advanced skiers and boarders as the upper bowls and vast array of gladed terrain have a decent pitch and an above average snowfall. ![]() With an average of 465 inches of snow per ski season, Wolf Creek gets more snow on average than any other resort in Colorado. But the back country lifts don’t! (Bonus for the blue and black run skiers).It's hard to capture photographs of the optimal blue bird day at a ski resort that constantly gets dumped on with fresh snow. Probably cuz most of the greens are there. Only issue: on wkds the lifts near the lodge can get backed up some. This place the snow was better, softer and more plentiful. We drove all the way down from Denver after skiing a day in summit county. Stay half hour to hour away in Pagosa springs, Alamosa, or further in Durango. While no lodging at the place, get over it, cuz of the skiing. It’s not a fancy resort, but a ‘skiers place’. Yet this place is modest and ‘affordable’ for skiing, with $80 weekday lift tix and $90 wkd tix.Ĭan ski here for two days for the price of one in summit county. Plenty of terrain for a couple days of skiing, and while we didn’t have a powder day, this place would be spectacular on a powder day with so much space in the trees. Alberta lift is awesome for getting out in solitude on the mountain and skiing through trees and moguls and trails on the way down. Definitely recommend Wolf Creek to any family looking for a place to go! It was perfect for us beginners but they had so many trails and lifts we could have done.Īs avid skiers, we look for fun terrain and good, plentiful snow.įor 20-21, snow is in short supply. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and we will never forget their kindness. Thanks to these fine folks my children had an awesome day and walked away knowing how to ski and wanting to do it again. Even one of the lift operators Ernesto, jumped in and helped and rode with one of the kids that was afraid to ride the lift alone. ![]() They were both soooo patient and graceful with the kids. Soon, his fellow instructor be Kathy came to our rescue too and helped with the kids. He helped get our 11 year old up on the lift and then the 8 year old down the hill the first time. Not long after we had been standing next to the beginners lift an instructor, Josh, who was there helping,even though they aren't doing lesson right now thanks to COVID-19, came to our aid. My wife was the only one of the six of us that had ever skiied so it took us a little while to adjust to even standing on the skis. We rented skis for me, my wife and 4 children at Pagosa Ski Rentals (very reasonable and so nice) and took off to Wolf Creek. We made the trek down yesterday after flying into Denver and it has been worth it. I can't say enough good things about the folks we met today at Wolf Creek Ski Resort. ![]()
