Wolf Creek Ski Area is where I learned to ski as a kid, so it holds a special place in my heart. It is a small resort, not a part of the big pass brands like Epic and Ikon. Its affordable, and homely, but has some of the best snow in Colorado. Its a great mountain to learn on but also an awesome mountain for expert terrain, with ridges to hike to from top of Alberta lift and fields of trees to find powder.

Its my local resort. Easy to get in and out of, great shuttle service in the parking lot. Hardly ever wait for a lift . Not too crowded.

Cant really recommend Wolf Creek. First it is a ski area not a resort so there is no lodging options, nor are there any overpriced shops to window shop while not skiing. Second, while not usually too busy, one generally finds themselves parking where they need to take a shuttle or ski out of the parking lot to access the lifts.once you finally get to the ticket office one finds themselves having to fork over almost $100 for a lift ticket during peak season. Dont get me started on the lift lines, ther actually was one I swear. Upon reaching the top of the mountain it seemed like there was 3 feet of fresh snow everywhere, like who wants that? Then getting hungry, I actually had to pay $12.00 for a half pound cheese burger.
