Winter In Boulder
Affordable, Accessible and Spirited
Winter in Boulder is surprising. Hotels offer their lowest rates, the average temperature in January is 45 degrees, there isn't much snow in town, and CU is in session giving the town hip, young energy. The city is compact with an intimate small-town feel and you can walk almost everywhere. The shops, galleries, restaurants and breweries are just outside your door. When the sun is shining and the weather is warm, you can rent a bike or go for a hike. |

Colorado's
Most Affordable Ski Vacation
The Boulder Ski Escape
 Skiers who are looking for a more accessible, easier, and less expensive ski vacation will like the Boulder Ski Escape program Lodging - with lift tickets at Eldora Mountain Resort - starts at $64.50 per person for a one-night stay. That's less than the price of just a lift ticket at most ski areas! The rates are good all season, including the holiday weeks and weekends. Some deals even include breakfast and transportation.
Eldora is 30 minutes from Boulder with 680 acres of terrain and four restaurants. One of them, The Lookout at Corona Bowl, sits at the top of the mountain with fantastic views of the Rockies.
