For true beginners I think peak 9 in breckenridge is incredible. The greens are very mellow and wide. As someone who learned to ski as an adult I would have loved to learn there. There are also easy blues you can progress to.


I believe you. But 2+ hours on I-70 in the winter is not for the faint of heart. We did it in the summer and that was terrifying enough.


huh?

what was terrifying about it in summer? I can see it being scary during a snow storm, but the rest of the time it is just a highway.

We have driven it many times in winter. It has never taken more than 2 hrs to get to Breck from the airport. I would not recommend going when a storm is coming or it is actively snowing, but the rest of the time it is fine.


It freaks me out too. Any mountain pass that you’re one accident from falling to your death is scary.


Where are there sheer drops on i-70???
