The thrills and spills may not be as spectacular as those at Vail and Aspen, but this is a great place to practice new techniques and warm up for some hot dog skiing later in the season.

Loveland is on the east side of Eisenhower Tunnel so you can avoid some of the traffic as you head home from skiing. The snow is usually abundant at Loveland Basin.
