We just returned from a week’s skiing at Wolf Creek, CO. It was awesome! Wolf Creek gets the most snow in Colorado. We saw a graphic demonstration of this fact – it snowed every day and dumped 33 inches of fresh powder on the slopes! The result was the best skiing conditions we have ever seen anywhere! The resort operators called it “hero snow”, meaning anyone could do anything they wanted on skis in such incredible conditions. Even though we never saw the sun, the skiing was sensational and the slopes were not crowded at all. We had a ball!

Nearby Pagosa Springs, where we rented a villa, is famous for having natural warm mineral springs. Every evening after skiing we went to the Springs Resort to soak. It was so soothing! The water is naturally at 140 degrees and it is stepped-down in a series of outdoor pools to anywhere from 98 degrees to 108 degrees (the “lobster pot”). There were waterfalls to stand under and a delightful ambiance to soak away the day’s strains from the slopes. All of this for $15/person! We will certainly return next year or, alternatively,
try nearby Purgatory Mountain in Durango. Cheers all,

Bill
