With sun-filled days and not another storm coming in for at least a week, this is the best time to discover why boarders and skiers alike have coveted the deep powder and incredible natural snow in Southwest Colorado....Wolf Creek Ranch is half the distance from the slopes, and it the best place to stay! The people there were so nice. We rented a wonderful cabin that had its own hotub. I recomend this place when looking for lodging in Wolf Creek....Totally awsome skiing and boarding here....I went to Wolf Creek with my youth group in march of 2006. It was my first time skiing, and i would love to go back it was fun and exciting all the people were really nice to. Thanks...
