LOVELAND VALLEY
If you are new to snow sports and not quite ready for the Ridge Cat, there is no better place to get started than Loveland Valley. Loveland Valley is a separate area just for beginners with its own lifts and gentle slopes perfect for making those first turns. Beginners don’t have to worry about intimidating runs crossing their path or sharing the slopes with more advanced skiers and riders. And if you need help improving your technique, the Loveland Ski & Ride School’s expert instructors are ready to help you learn, laugh and have a great time.
AVOID THE CROWDS
Loveland’s 1,800 acres of terrain are packed full of snow, not people, so you can say goodbye to lift lines and crowded runs. Ski Loveland and you can avoid much of the traffic too. Just 53 miles from Denver, Loveland is the first ski area on the I-70 corridor so you can avoid the tunnel and the traffic on the other side.
AFFORDABLE TICKETS, PASSES & LESSONS
While the mega resorts compete for the most expensive lift ticket price in the state, Loveland is keeping it real with lift tickets and lesson packages that are about half the cost of what you will find at neighboring resorts. And you won’t need to take out a second mortgage if you want to grab a bite to eat. You can afford to ski or ride more at Loveland!
