d*****t 发帖数: 9 | 1 感恩节第一次去Colorado滑雪,从版上以及网上收集了不少信息,总结如下,仅供参考
。大牛发现不对之处,欢迎指正,并求轻拍。
Denver西部的山里有22个雪场,具体分布见:http://www.coloradoski.com/resorts。
比较有名又容易access的是Vail和Beaver Creek,在Denver以西2个小时车程的地方,
没有Whistler那么高,所以雪道比较短,俺稍稍有些小郁闷。不过胜在够大,每个雪场
都有4+个山头,雪况好的时候,前山后山都能滑,滑上个三五天,都不会重复,这个
比较爽。Aspen在更往西2个小时车程的地方,据说也非常棒。可惜only for
skiers, not snowboarders. 而且实在太远,只能等下次了。 离Denver 以西一个半
小时的地方,有Key stone, breckenridge, Arapahoe Basin,这几个雪场略微小些。
我的了解仅限于这些雪场是因为我买了Epic Local pass, 能够在这5个雪场通用。第
一天去的Vail, 第二天去的Breckenridge. 以下是几点tips:
1. Parking: 本人去的雪场不多,所以当看到Vail的停车费是25刀,着实震惊了。
绕了很久才找到17刀的停车位。Breckenridge虽然10刀,但是依然肉痛了很久。后
来和很多当地人聊天,一个是可以把车停在酒店,或者远一些的免费停车场,然后坐公
汽。这个大家就自己google了。
2。关于雪场的选择,Vail的排名比Beaver Creek靠前,可惜人太多,感恩节的时候,
没有下太多雪,所以BC的雪况反而比较好。Key stone, breckenridge, Arapahoe
Basin倒是差不多。我就胡乱选了breckenridge。 虽然这2个雪场就开了一小部份,
但是滑一天还是不会嫌闷。 不可以去野道,不然就会被没收pass。
3。租车:虽然之前担心很久,但我还是租了一个chevy Impala,普通的sedan.任何
普通的车都有所谓的traction control,所以少少的雪还是可以开的。虽然那里是山路
,有些绕,但是下雪的话上面有铲雪车,只有少量的雪,所以不用太担心。当然,有条
件当然是SUV最好了。机场的enterprise非常好啊,强烈推荐,服务态度非常之好,
车也不错,算是物美价廉的好选择了。
4。在网上http://www.breezeski.com/ 租的板子,又是价廉物美,非常赞。我选的pick up location在Silverthorne, 价格便宜,离任何一个雪场都很近,开的时间也非常方便。而雪场里面的器材就差不多要2倍以上的价格了。

turn之类的,第二天在绿道上玩了一天,很兴奋,回家后研究怎么parallel ski,第三
天也能马马虎虎的划起来了。滑雪真是太好玩了。
可惜在德州,想滑一次雪真不容易。 |

N**i 发帖数: 3857 | 8 Vail is almost 3000 feet higher than Whistler/Blackcomb. If you have skiied
both, you should be tell that Vail has obvious altitude difficulties while
Whistler does not. Most Vail mountain tops are at 11300 ft level while Whistler/Blackcomb's are at 7200-7500 ft altitude level.
Vail is not as big as Whistler, according to their official acerage measurement.
And the Vail trails are a lot steeper than Whistler, that makes its trails feel short since it does down much faster. Most Vail "Greens" are like Whistler "Blue" or "Black" |

绿道”要是下不来就只能坐缆车下来了。

s*******r 发帖数: 1285 | 12 It is not true to say that "... Vail trails are a lot steeper than Whistler
.... Most Vail "Greens" are like Whistler "Blue" or "Black""
According to Ski Magazine and Skiing Magazine, Whistler Blackcomb and
Jackson Hole are two of the most challenging ski resorts. They constantly
rank as the top two challenging resorts. On the other hands, Vail's
difficulty ranking is not even higher than Snowbird.
