    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

      • 1

        Fly into Denver (DIA) and either drive or take a hopper flight to your ultimate destination.

      • 2

        Winter, obviously, is the best time to take a ski honeymoon in Colorado. Early season can be chancy on snow, so mid-January through March is the safest time.

      • 3

        Skiing and snowboarding are for the athletic and adventuresome, but these days even a klutz can make it down a groomed beginner run on decent equipment.

      • 4

        Curl up by a fire, soak in a Jacuzzi, or build a snowman if you're not inclined to hit the slopes.

      • 5

        Shop, wine and dine in the ritzy towns of Aspen and Vail.

      • 6

        Rub elbows with the cowboys of Steamboat Springs and race their famous ice driving track, or bobsled down Howelsen Hill.

      • 7

        Choose between four mountains near the town of Dillan: Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin.

      • 8

        Hit the famous back bowls of Vail, one of the west's largest resorts.

      • 9

        Reserve your trip through Colorado Resort Net's "Deals of the Week," where you can get a package deal for $150 to $200 per night including lift tickets.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Dress warmly. It's winter, after all.

    • Demo a pair of new shaped skis that will have you turning in your sleep.

    • Take advantage of preseason and spring season discounted lift tickets if the snow warrants it.

    • Avalanches are a real danger anywhere there are mountains and lots of snow. Ski within the boundaries, or if in the back country, with a guide and proper safety gear.
