Sourcing
We rely on official resort websites, pass providers, transit agencies (CDOT, RTD, Amtrak), CDOT's COtrip, and statewide sources such as Colorado Ski Country USA, Colorado Tourism and Visit Denver. We link sources in each guide.
Editorial judgment
Phrases like "best for beginners" are our opinion, based on terrain layout, learning facilities and access. We label them as such.
What we won't publish
- Live snow totals, weather or "real-time" claims
- Invented ticket or pass prices or precise opening dates
- Fake reviews, awards, test reports or author experiences
- Photos presented as specific resorts unless verified and licensed
Images
Images on this site are illustrative Colorado-style mountain scenes created for Denver Ski Guide. They do not depict specific resorts.
