Squaw Valley USA Makes Ski.com's Top Ten List of Affordable Resorts
DENVER (AP) — Ski.com has come up with a list of what it calls the ’10 most affordable ski resorts’, including Whistler-Blackcomb, site of the Winter Olympics.
They are:
• Keystone, near Denver, with lots of lodging and flight options and moderately priced condos. Ski.com specials include The Lodge at Keystone, which the website describes as “the nicest property at Keystone.” Also, a Keystone lift ticket is valid at Breckenridge and Arapahoe Basin and also offers some limited access to Vail and Beaver Creek. The resort also offers night skiing, which is included with the lift ticket, on day of arrival with airline boarding pass. If you stay in a Vail Resorts-owned or managed property, you receive The Adventure Passport for free.
Shoulder Check
The thing about downhill mountain biking is, it doesn’t serve to look back. When you’re charging down a mountain at 50 kilometres an hour you’ve got to stay focused on where you’re going.
That’s probably why, for all its success as the premiere lift-accessed mountain bike park in the world, not even last summer’s celebration of the millionth rider triggered a moment of retrospection for the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
Out There: Whistler Mountain Bike Park – Globe and Mail
Find out what gravity and a pair of wheels can do as you go hurtling down hundreds of metres of stunning mountain trails at Whistler’s Mountain Bike Park, which opens this weekend.
This year, riders can also brave the Top of the World Trail, a lift-accessed, single-track trail that starts at the very peak of Whistler and descends more than 1,000 feet – and increases the park’s total vertical to nearly 5,000 feet, making it the highest of its kind on the continent.
