Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Echo Mountain near Mt. Evans in the Front Range has long believed that offering park and pipe skiing -- with night options -- is a viable business model. To date, with the exception of Keystone, the bigger Colorado resorts have left night skiing alone. But last week, Telluride offered a night skiing option to their terrain. Sort of.
Unlike Keystone, Telluride didn't string lights down several runs. The mountain constructed a new superpipe and terrain park right off Lift #2 above the Mountain Village. The superpipe is open during the day seven days a week, and at night from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Telluride offers night lift tickets for $25, and a night season pass for $200, or $150 if you already have a season pass to the resort.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
