Loveland Ski Area, Colorado
Loveland has been a local favorite for decades -- over 60 years in operation. Beginners enjoy the feel of a separate base area with milder slopes at Loveland Valley. Skiers and boarders looking for more aggressive terrain head for Loveland Basin, to find steeps, bumps, glades and wide open bowls. New this season, Loveland expands with the opening of The Ridge -- 400 acres of skiing and boarding from the top of the peaks that make up the Continental Divide.
