We are planning a trip to Colorado from Wisconsin from Jan 23-29 or thereabouts and are trying to nail down where we should ride. We will ride 4 or 5 days. Have been to Wyoming Snowies and Togwotee lots of times but want to try a new place.
We'd like to be flexible and follow the snow but that isn't that great of an option when you need hotels, etc. So my question is, where should we plan on riding??
My list is looking like this right now in order of "Must Ride"
1) Crested Butte. Hearing lots of good things on the internet, but not finding much reading on it. The are looks really small though?
2) Wolf Creek. the tree riding looks appealing to me there.
3) Rabbit Ears. Just because it gets the most press everywhere. And staying here we would have some options to ride Vail or Grand Lake if those locations are better?
Any input is appreciated!
