Loveland has something for every age and ability. Loveland Basin, the main area, offers a wide variety of terrain including wide-open cruisers, trees, bumps and open bowls.

For beginners, Loveland Valley offers a separate, non-intimidating learning area to work on techniques with its own lifts and gentle terrain. There is also a terrain park that is accessible to all ages and abilities, from entry level to advanced park-riders. Enjoy free snowcat skiing along the Continental Divide and explore some of Loveland’s most exhilarating terrain with a free ride on the Ridge Cat. Skiers and riders are required to have a valid

season pass or lift ticket in addition to Ridge Cat Pass which can be picked up free at the Basin Ticket Office.

Arapahoe Basin, known as “The Legend” to many Coloradans, has one of the longest ski seasons in North America. Enjoy 360-degree views from the summit or lunch at Black Mountain Lodge while skiing some of the world’s best terrain. It offers a family-friendly, laidback atmosphere with free parking, one convenient base area and affordable lessons for kids and adults.

Most facilities are located in the base area including kids’ snowsports lessons, dining areas, retail shop, administrative offices and adult ski school. Lessons are offered for skiers and snowboarders of every ability throughout the season. Both private and class lessons are available.

WINTER BACKCOUNTRY SAFETY

When heading to the backcountry, especially in winter, be aware of the range of dangers you may encounter, and be prepared.

Clear Creek County created a Back-County Survival Guide card with tips, suggestions and a place to write contact and route information to assist rescuers if necessary. Find a downloadable version at alpinerescueteam.org

There are many things backcountry users need to know, but here are a few basic reminders: travel with a partner and stay together, tell others your plans, assess your physical abilities, wear appropriate clothing, stay hydrated and know the weather. Keep in mind, cell phones can be used to track a location and may provide a signal to emergency personnel. All backcountry users should also know how to handle issues involving elevation and altitude sickness, hypothermia, lightening, fallen trees, burned areas, streams and waterfalls, fast-changing mountain weather, wildlife encounters and more.

In winter, always carry essentials including first aid kit, compass, GPS or cell phone,

matches and candle, pocket knife, flashlight, warm clothing, insulated footwear, shelter, emergency food and water, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, and waterproof gloves and outerwear. Remember, cotton kills. Polypropylene or synthetic materials are highly recommended.

Avalanches are the biggest danger in winter. Always check Colorado Avalanche Information Center weather and avalanche data at 303-4999650 or avalanche.state.co.us before heading out. Remember: 30-45 degree slopes are most prone; cross slopes one at time; carry a transceiver, collapsible probe, shovel and know how to use them; wear gear with Recco reflectors; avoid leeward ridge sides; slides are most common during and after storms; avoid narrow gullies; stay high on ridges or well into valley floor; beware of nature’s warnings like collapsing layers and recent slides. Should a problem occur, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office has authorized the Alpine Rescue Team to fulfill its search and rescue duties. The jurisdiction of the Alpine Rescue Team spans county-wide, excluding municipalities. Call 303526-2417 or visit alpinerescueteam.org for details.

EMPIRE/U.S. 40

Empire, located at the foot of Berthoud Pass, is part of Colorado’s early mining history and the search for gold, which was found here in 1860. The settlement was called Valley City, then changed to Empire City in 1861 and incorporated in 1882. The Original Hard Rock Café, which today is home to a local brewery, opened in 1934 and provided food and a dormitory for miners. The small town — a popular stop for food, coffee, craft beer, sweets and more — is on the way to and from busy recreation spots at Jones Pass, Berthoud Pass and beyond. U.S. 40 continues on to Grand County, Winter Park, Grand Lake and the West Entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

JONES PASS BERTHOUD PASS

The Jones Pass Winter Trailhead provides access to the Jones Pass Road, a snowmobiling and winter recreation hot spot, and Butler Gulch, which is closed to motorized vehicles and popular with Nordic and telemark skiers and snowshoers.

From U.S. 40, turn left at the sign for Jones Pass/Henderson Mine. Park and off load at the Henderson Mine gate and follow the Jones Pass Road to reach backcountry bowls. Jones Pass Road travels above treeline for several miles until it dead-ends after crossing the Continental Divide. Essentially a groomed snow road with some steep grades, skiers and fat bikers will find it a challenging workout. It is mostly used for snowmobile recreation.

Snowmobiles operated on public land or trails in Colorado must be registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Registration, renewals and nonresident snowmobile permits are required annually and are valid from Oct. 1-Sept. 30. Visit cpw. state.co.us to learn more. Be aware, moose are not frighted by vehicles. They will stand their ground and possibly charge.

Operating in the Jones Pass area with a permit for use of 2,600 acres, Jones Pass Guides, 409 East Park Ave. in Empire, offers skiing and snowboarding experiences in three unique bowls with touring and snowcat access daily. Call 970-7265442 or visit jonespassguides.com to learn more.

The non-motorized Butler Gulch Trail is 2.4 miles one way and begins about 100 yards from the winter trailhead. Popular to Nordic and telemark ski and snowshoe, the area has a quick approach and open bowls.

Berthoud Pass — named for Edward L. Berthoud, the chief surveyor of the Colorado Central Railroad during the 1870s — the pass traverses the Continental Divide on the border between Clear Creek County and Grand County. The Berthoud Pass Trailhead, on the Divide, offers a variety of winter activities. The site has a warming hut with vault toilets, interpretive information, and is open year-round. Winter activities include backcountry skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. No sledding or snowmobiling is allowed.

Once home to the now-defunct Berthoud Pass Ski Area, the pass is a destination for winter recreation due to its abundance of steep and challenging terrain and plentiful snow averaging 500 inches annually. There are 65 advanced to expert slopes on 1200 acres. The twisting road on both sides of the pass also makes “car shuttles” possible, eliminating the need for skiers and snowboarders to hike to the top after each run.

There are also numerous stunning trails to snowshoe or cross-country ski. Second Creek Trail is a short trail that’s great for adventurers and heads to Broome Hut, one of the most famous remote cabin rentals in Colorado. Ease of access and great skiing make for excellent backcountry recreation. Visit grandhuts.org or call 970-925-5775 for information.

The road over the pass is a modern, four-lane highway that is well maintained with guard rails and other safety measures. Check weather and road conditions before making travel or recreation plans. Find additional resources online at cotrip.org, isberthoudpassopen.com and berthoudpass.org.

Just on the other side of the pass is the town of Winter Park and its well-known ski resort. Offering more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain, Winter Park Resort, 85 Parsenn Road, offers an unforgettable winter experience. Open over 75 years, Winter Park Resort is the state’s longest continually operated ski resort. Call 970-726-5514 or visit winterparkresort.com for details.

WINTER DRIVING

Colorado’s weather can change rapidly. Be prepared for tricky and sometimes dangerous winter driving conditions. Be a safe winter driver by slowing down; most crashes occur by driving too fast for the conditions. Leave extra space between vehicles, and always wear a seat belt.

MAINTAIN TRACTION Be sure to have good tire tread; start and stop gradually; drive at steady speeds; accelerate slightly when approaching a hill, then maintain a steady speed going up; and gear down on downgrades.

SKIDS When a vehicle begins to skid, remove your foot from the accelerator or brake, steer in the direction of the skid and once steady, turn the wheel straight and proceed.

BRAKING Be gentle when braking. Without anti-lock brakes, gently pump brakes to avoid locking wheels and skidding. Avoid braking on curves; drive through at a safe, steady speed.

In winter, Interstate 70 can become congested with ski traffic, especially on weekends and holidays. Avoid delays by planning ahead and staying informed about traffic and weather. Call 511 for regularly-updated road conditions. Visit COtrip.org, for road conditions, traffic camera feeds, real-time alerts and more. GoI70.com provides a weekly I-70 travel forecast based on historical data and estimations of how weather, construction and events may impact travel times.

When conditions require, Colorado’s Passenger Vehicle Traction and Chain Law can be implemented requiring snow tires, mud/ snow tires or a four-wheel/AWD vehicle. Drivers with tires that don’t have at least one-eighth-inch tread are in violation and could end up with a large fine. Chains or an alternative traction device like AutoSock may be used. During peak travel times, the I-70 Mountain Express Lane opens. It is dynamically priced.

Altitude sickness, also called mountain sickness, is a group of general symptoms that are brought on by climbing or walking to a higher and higher altitude (elevation) too quickly. Altitude sickness can affect anyone who goes to high altitudes— defined as 8,000-12,000 feet above sea level— without giving the body time to adjust to the changes in air pressure and oxygen level.

The more rapid a climb to high altitude, the more likely that altitude sickness will develop. Age, sex and general health do not seem to make a difference in risk for altitude sickness. People with lung or heart disease may be told to avoid high altitudes. Skiers, hikers and anyone planning a trip to a location significantly higher than normal should be know the signs and symptoms of altitude sickness and how to prevent and treat it.

IDAHO SPRINGS

AT THIS EXIT

Idaho Springs, named for Chief Idaho and nearby natural hot springs, was founded in 1859. It is the site of the state’s first significant gold discovery. Mining was largely responsible for its creation and growth, and the city continues to preserve and celebrate its heritage. During the late 20th century, the town evolved into a tourist center and popular stop for travelers heading to and from recreation areas along Interstate 70 or nearby Mount Evans, Echo Lake and adjacent national forest lands. A Victorian-era downtown offers unique shops, popular restaurants and breweries, while mine tours and historic sites provide insight into local history. Idaho Springs’ western-most exit is mostly a residential area, but the exit is the best way to access Stanley Road/County Road 312 and mine tours to the west and a network of easy trails through Idaho Springs to the east.
