In addition to improvements that seasoned skiers and riders will enjoy, CSCUSA members are also offering a wide variety of guest enhancements and learning options that brand-new skiers and riders or those returning the sport after some time away will be excited about this winter. Many will debut enhanced or remodeled rental shops including clothing rental options. Below is a summary of the many resort improvements at CSCUSA ski areas for the 2019-20 ski season. Opening and closing dates for the 2019-20 season are at the bottom of this release.

  • Baseline Conditions
    CHAPTER 2: BASELINE CONDITIONS INTRODUCTION On the surface, demographic and economic data can appear as little more than sterile numbers and statistics. However, careful consideration of these numbers can illuminate the unique characteristics of a community, uncovering both challenges and potential opportunities. This Chapter summarizes the most pertinent issues which arise from the demographic and economic data. A more complete and thorough summary of baseline demographic and economic conditions influencing this plan can be found in Appendix II. The State of the County Clear Creek County is located approximately 20 miles west of Denver along the I-70 corridor. See MAP- 1. The County was one of the original 17 counties created by the Colorado legislature on November 1, 1861, and is one of only two counties (along with Gilpin) to have maintained its original boundaries. It was named after Clear Creek, which runs down from the continental divide through the County and continues to influence the identity and economy of the community. The County’s proximity to Denver and mountain location make it unique within Colorado, offering both a rural mountain lifestyle and a relatively quick commute to everything the Denver Metro has to offer. I-70 acts as the “spine” of the transportation system in the County and links many of the communities within the county. There are four incorporated municipalities in the County (Georgetown, Silver Plume, 12 Clear Creek County | 2017 Community Master Plan Empire and Idaho Springs) as well as approximately 20 “Sub-Areas.” See MAP-1. In general, population and services are clustered within the municipalities and sub-areas, with the most populace sub-areas being in the eastern portion of the County.

  • Winter Games - Ski Resorts Are Designing More Programs and Services for the 50-Plus Crowd by Sonja Ryst - Wall Street Journal- February 23, 2004
    Winter Games - Ski resorts are designing more programs and services for the 50-plus crowd By Sonja Ryst - Wall Street Journal- February 23, 2004 In 1994, when the Stratton Trailblazers Ski Club, a group for people age 50 and older, gathered for its first meetings, the entire club could sit around a single table. Today, the group, based at the Stratton Mountain ski resort in Vermont, has 1,000 members across the U.S. Activities include downhill racing on Fridays and a two-hour ski clinic that runs five days a week. See resources of interest for skiers age 50 and older. "We all know each other, and you aren't pushed over your head," says Mark Katzman, a 61-year-old retired chief executive officer and the club's president. "You're skiing with contemporaries." The 50-plus crowd is getting more attention, and more respect, on the nation's slopes. And it's not surprising: They're the generation that helped define "skiing as we know it in the U.S.," according to Bill Jensen, chief operating officer for Vail Resorts in Colorado. Clubs for older skiers are booming, and real-estate developers are chasing after seniors who want second homes near ski resorts. Meanwhile, resorts themselves are designing programs and services that cater to visitors who still recognize the name Jean-Claude Killy. (He turned 60 last August.) Time to Play At Vail Mountain, "our biggest customer group is the 45- to 60-year-old guest," Mr. Jensen says. He estimates that about two-thirds of the revenue at Vail Mountain is generated by baby boomers.

DENVER – Sept. 12, 2018 – Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) member ski areas have spent the spring, summer and early fall working on projects to elevate the guest experience with new capital improvements, investments in infrastructure and new programs that guests of all ages and experience levels will appreciate. Colorado will welcome six new chairlifts at five ski areas across the state, six new dining experiences and two terrain expansions for skiers and riders to enjoy. This year’s improvements will excite expert skiers and riders, but also those that are new to the sport or returning after some time away from the slopes. “Colorado is once again leading the ski industry with significant investment in lift infrastructure for the 2018-19 winter season,” said Melanie Mills, President and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. “Guests to Colorado Ski Country member ski areas will experience new chairlifts, new terrain, new lodging, new dining options and multiple offerings that are directed at those newer or returning to the sport and those that may just be looking to enjoy the mountain environment.” Below is a summary of the many capital improvements and resort upgrades at CSCUSA ski areas for the 2018-19 ski season.

  • A Guide to Car-Free Skiing in Colorado
    A Guide to Car-Free Skiing in Colorado: The Growing Ways to Get from the Denver Region to the Slopes Without Your Personal Car February 2017 For years, the only real way for people to get from the Denver region up to the ski slopes has been to drive their personal car. While the number of people who carpool along the limited roads that lead to our slopes is high, relying on personal vehicles to move hundreds of thousands of people from the Front Range to the ski slopes during the winter is inefficient, unsafe, and has a negative impact on our health and the environment. Only a handful of roads connect the Denver region to the slopes, including Highway 119 from Boulder to Eldora; and Highway 6, Highway 9 and Interstate 70 from Denver to slopes in Clear Creek, Summit and Eagle County. Relying on personal vehicles to traverse along these roads is inefficient and puts an incredible strain on corridors that also must carry local vehicles and the trucks that supply our state. Depending on personal vehicles to carry people to the slopes increases the number of vehicles on the road that might be poorly equipped to handle winter driving and can contribute to preventable crashes. Large numbers of personal vehicles also emit pollution that can impact the public health of communities and contributes to climate change, which increasingly threatens the ski slopes that Coloradans are travelling to use. The use of personal vehicles to get to the slopes also creates an economic strain on Coloradans. For mountain communities, personal vehicles from outside their community put a strain on their local infrastructure often requiring significant investments in parking lots that can also damage the local aesthetics.

    New Additions in Colorado Ski Country Winter 2019-20 Investment, Enhancement and Transformation Continue Colorado Ski Country USA member ski areas are in the midst of a transformative period of investment over the last two years. Since 2018, Colorado ski areas small, medium and large have added 11 new chairlifts to whisk skiers and riders up the mountain more quickly and efficiently, four new lodging offerings, 10 new dining options and other facility and program upgrades. New Lifts and New Terrain • Cooper will have a new lift on the east-facing slopes and new terrain. The Way Back lift will serve 70 acres of new, mostly double black diamond gladed or tree skiing including 5 new runs. • Copper Mountain will welcome 273 acres of expert terrain on Tucker Mountain with the new Three Bears chairlift, which tops out at 12,421 ft. This three-person fixed grip lift will access terrain that was previously accessible via snowcat or hiking only. The lift will come complete with a ski patrol warming hut at the summit and bathrooms at the base. • Winter Park Resort’s new 6-person Sunnyside chair will replace the original 3-person fixed grip chair. The $6 million upgrade will reduce the ride time from eight minutes to under four. This will greatly reduce lift lines at this popular resort location. • Steamboat Resort is replacing the gondola after over 30 years. This will increase capacity by nearly 40 percent, reducing ride time from 12 minutes to 10 and increasing guest ease with gondola cabins flush to the ground allowing riders to walk straight on as opposed to stepping up into the cabin.
