In Colorado Ski Country some of the best skiing and snowboarding is found off the beaten track, we refer to these as our GEMS and with less crowds and down-to-earth prices it is easy to see why.  With a variety of terrain and a laid back atmosphere, it is no wonder that they are Colorado's hidden treasures.  So get off the interstate and head to a mountain oasis free of paid parking, fancy après, and lift lines.  And while the prices are not free the terrain, customer service, and smiles are worth it.
