loveland ski area印象

While visiting friends in Denver, we decided to head into the mountains to snowboard. Loveland is only about 45 minutes from the south-west side of Denver so the location is great. We got there (on a Friday morning) and the slopes were relatively empty. We never had to wait in line for any of the lifts and the snow was well groomed.As with any ski area in the mountains, this is much more challenging than the small hills in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New York. I'll definitely be back!

Loveland may not have the après amenities like the bigger resorts on the other side of the Eisenhower, but it definitely makes up for it with the best customer service and great varied terrain. The value of Loveland simply can't be beat. And renting from their ski shop was an excellent experience. Plus, it doesn't have the crowds like the bigger resorts, so I felt like I had the mountain to myself. Definitely my new favorite in Colorado.

They did not have the trails marked as to what they were rated. (Green, blue, etc.). They had a ski lift for the green go out and were taking 4 year old kids in a ski school down a green slope. This slope should have been marked blue. It was so steep.

It is a great place... An hour away from Denver ( about 2 - 2.5 hours on weekends with traffic) Probably the closest place to go snowboarding if you stay in Denver... Great mix of beginners through expert terrains, FREE ridge cat tours, I would recommend get a Loveland pass, which you are supposed to get by mail 5-7 days after a purchuse.... I got my after like 2 weeks, when I came back from Loveland but they were able to look it up online so I got the discounts, there is a cage available, so you don't have to rent lockers if you don't want to... spend like 5 days over there, enjoyed... they have a really good rental basic (I think its called sport) snowboard package

My husband and I spent two days here skiing (for the first time) and loved it. My sister (a Denver local) skies here and recommended it. Our instructor, Ben Kimmell, was top notch. Can't wait to come back! (Tip: bring snacks so that you don't have to eat in the cafeteria, and especially if you're vegetarian or vegan.)

This year we decided to try Loveland and last weekend we just skied two days there. Our level is most blues and some easy blacks. So we did not go to Loveland Valley but just hang out in the Loveland Basin. We skipped Chair 9 which leads to hard black runs but explored all rest of chairs of Loveland Basin. The snow condition was good on most runs. Chair 1 was busiest but still the waiting time was reasonable. Chair 2 was the second busiest. This makes sense as these two chairs are at the base and everyone needs to take one of them to go up. At the middle of the mountain, Chair 6 can be a little bit of waiting. Overall the waiting was minimal really, in comparison to our Copper Mountain experience. The weather was really cold and windy for most of the two days. That made riding on the chair lift into tops very uncomfortable. The wind condition worsened many runs too, as the ice patches here and there and some runs were icy from the top to the bottom. Sunday afternoon warmed up nicely and we had a great time around Chair 8 with tons of power. That area was somehow sheltered from the wind somewhat. The newly constructed cabin was very beautiful, super warm and had a great new wood smell to it. I really like these two aspects regarding food:1. The new addition to the main building next to the restaurant has really good food. We thoroughly enjoyed the corned beef sandwich and the pork BBQ sandwich. Chilli was very good too (chili is served at all food places). However, all hot food service would stop after 5pm, which made people like us who were waiting for the traffic to clear out before leaving a little annoyed. This was overcame easily the next day by ordering earlier, so no big deal. 2. There is also a microwave available on the second floor next to the picnic style table. That made us happy as we could warm up some food we brought. We kept the food in the car and it was so close from the base to the parking lot that we walked back to the car, changed to comfy shoes, and took food to warm up in the base building. There is a complain about the microwave though---when the working light is off, it would continue making noise as if it was still operating; even when the door was opened to retrieve food, it would still make noise. This made us wonder if we were exposed to the radiation! Overall I only have four minor complains about Loveland Basin Ski area:1. The runs are not as long as those in Copper Mountain. Though if our level can ski Chair 9 runs, that would make a difference. 2. The unloading areas were very steep for most chairlifts. I can do both ski and snowboard but did not ride because I was afraid my snowboard level can not handle the steep exit properly. 3. The trails to and back from Chair 8 were not ideally constructed. It was not only long cat walks at parts of the run, but had ups and downs too. Be mindful of not losing any speed. From Chair 8 there is a black run down the mountain to go through the tunnel to return to the base, but our friend said the condition was bad there and it should be two black diamonds rather than one as marked on the map, so we took the Zippity trail to return to Chair 4 area. 4. One of the runs to the west of Chair 4 is Apollo (Blue) turned into Forest Meadow (Green). Avoid the green section as everyone there, no matter ski or ride, was walking to overcome a flat stretch. Overall, we would love to ski in Loveland again for sure despite these minor complains.

As bad as the traffic gets on I 70, Loveland being half an hour closer than any other ski area is a real asset.

While on a trip to Denver to visit family we decided we wanted to do a day of skiing. Loveland makes doing so quite easy and convenient. Located right on I-70 (literally. A tunnel for the highway is actually under the slopes) this ski area is full service, with decent runs, good food, great employees who are friendly and helpful, at a quite fair price.While it certainly isn't Vail or Aspen, it is much easier to visit for a day trip from Denver when in town for business or pleasure. Plus they have a deal where they will outfit you with snow pants, a decent ski jacket with gloves and hat, and boots and skis.Well worth the visit for it's conveience and friendliness.

Lots of vertical and great snow here. Lift tickets are cheaper than the surrounding resorts. Even a deal for beginners that if you get you lift ticket, rentals and lessons for 3 days it turns into a season pass!Excellent terrain and one of the highest resorts in the west.

I've heard this called the locals place. Sure it doesn't have gondolas but for the price and friendly service it is a nice change of pace. Long runs and one of the areas that get the most snow. We enjoyed are day at Loveland and wouldn't think twice about do it again
