Echo Mountain
No. 13 of Ski Resorts in Colorado

Echo Mountain

4.8
Echo Mountain Ski Resort has a long and rich history, evolving from a public ski area in the 1960s to a terrain park, to a private ski training center, and then to what it is today: the closest, most affordable ski resort to Denver. Echo Mountain is one of the few ski resorts in Colorado that offers the unforgettable experience of skiing and snowboarding under the stars, with plenty of lights. They offer night skiing and snowboarding included with your daytime lift ticket, which means you can have fun under the lights until 9pm. The terrain for night skiing is only intermediate (the Blue Plaza Trail), and while our beginner area is open at times, it is not guaranteed. Echo Mountain also has a dedicated beginner trail - the Sale beginner area is a great place to learn stops, turns, and master the basics.Clear Creek County · 6.5 km from Idaho Springs
