How about 3 resorts in 3 days? This posting is to gauge interest in a short multiday ski trip, tailored for those with a Powderhorn season pass. This pass also allows 3 days of skiing each at Monarch Mountain, Sunlight, Loveland, and 2 days at Silverton ski resorts. Weekdays preferred to avoid crowds. These unpretentious resorts are charmingly low tech, with great terrain and interesting histories.
