Eldora Mountain

I got my rentals from an off a mountain rental so the price of the day was worth it. Make sure to purchase it the day before to get the discount. The slopes are well maintained and the ski lifts were very nice too. All day pass is worth it the most. Lines were not long which was very nice.

Getting up to the resort is easy. They have a free shuttle on the weekend that departs from the Justice Center, or a city bus (NB1) that departs from Boulder Station. Both drop you right at the ticketing and rental buildings. I highly recommend this vs driving. The resort itself is simple and small, with a handful of mixed trail levels. The views were pretty fantastic and the lift lines and runs weren't terribly busy on a Sunday. The trails were well groomed and staff friendly. The cafe/lodge was just as you'd expect for a ski lodge. Simple food items and drinks, plenty of seats inside and out. The primary reason for my three star review is simply due to the astronomical prices. For the lift ticket, rental (boots/skis/helmet - fyi they do not rent gloves so bring them or buy them), and "basket" lockers we paid over $300 per person for those things. It is such a shame this sport has become so inaccessible. Maybe it is different for season pass holders? Either way, I hope they re-evaluate their pricing model.

Definitely enjoyed our time at Eldora! We were visiting for a conference and had the weekend to explore Denver. Unexpectedly snowed 8-10 inches which put a dent in our original plans, so we decided to make the most of it and go skiing! This resort is a little over an hour from Denver and was easily accessible (even in a small 2WD vehicle like ours). This was our first time skiing in several years and we had so much fun! There are a few green trails to get warmed up before hitting the blues. Beautiful views at the top.

I love this mountain. My sister lives nearby so this is always a must stop for us when we visit. The lifts are great, the hill is always busy but they move people along. This place is a nice option for locals and those looking to avoid I-70 I know it’s run by Icon now but it still has a hometown vibe ; much prefer to your Breck and Vail corporate America spots 5/5. Have been many times and will return.

Love going to Eldora! Easy to access and get to from anywhere in the front range and super convenient to not have to get on 70. this place is the main reason why I keep renewing with Ikon. it’s a smaller resort so there are usually never any lines. Went today for some end of season spring skiing and had a fantastic time in the mashed potatoes.

Convenient location at close driving distance from Boulder. Facilities are rather outdated and tracks mostly similar / repetitive and it tends to get really windy but it was my first experience skiing in the US and overall a rather pleasant one with good snow, few people and a beautiful sunny day

Had an awesome first time snowboarding experience at Eldora. Neither of us had any experience and our instructor, Christopher, was seriously amazing and took us through the basics at our pace. Can't wait to go back! 👍

Really enjoyed this mountain. It's smaller than the Summit County resorts but it has a decent number of runs. It's a great destination for a day of skiing...however not enough terrain to keep you interested for multiple days. The rental process was quick and easy, the staff were all helpful. Total cost for a day of skiing and rentals was about $250...it felt a little high but I enjoyed the day. Huge kudos to the professionalism of ski patrol. I fell in the afternoon, separated my shoulder, and Kamheron had to take me down the mountain in a sled...kind of embarrassing but I felt well cared for with my injury. Overall 5 stars and I look forward to returning again.
