[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're going to stay in Frisco/Silverthorne in a few weeks and will head to Copper. It's reasonable priced and centrally located to other resorts should we opt to venture out.

My friends love Purgatory becuase they have the kids ski free, which is fantastic. I looked into it and it was pretty cheap but the flights down to Montrose are more expensive than Denver.

A lot of resorts will offer package deals if you book lodging through them. I had thought about staying at Copper ad they offered discounted lift rates with stay

I found it cheaper to get an Airbnb in Frisco, plus we have family staying and I need space.

A lot of people drive down to Purgatory from Denver in a rental car. Makes sense if you're doing a 5-7 day trip. If Montrose is anything like Vail airport, you will be at the mercy of the weather gods. So many people get canceled flights at Vail airport and then need to scramble to Denver at the last minute to try to get home. [/quote]

Montrose is on the Western Slope (so not in the mountains) and doesn't have the same weather issues that Eagle and Aspen/Pitken have. You can also fly in and out of Grand Junction and avoid the weather issues. I wouldn't recommend flying into Denver for anything on the Western side of Colorado because I70 sucks. [/quote]

Why does I-70 suck? Is it just traffic? Not from CO myself[/quote]

Traffic, rental cars without snow-rated tires, really bad snow storms. Usually all three of those combined. And then once you get off 70, you may have to take smaller twisty highways to get to your resort (A-Basin, Winterpark, Keystone, etc.)[/quote]
