What do you guys got? I've never skied in my life but a couple buddies and I want to get out of town. Just looking for a quick, cheap-ish weekend getaway to get on the slopes. I'm more concerned with bourbon than the skiing but figured I'd ask

Angel Fire
Red River
Taos (If you have friends looking for a good hill)


They are all in the 13 + hour driving range from Des Moines. I would think all of these will be less spendy than the Colorado equivalents.

Red River specifically is a drinking town with a skiing problem.

I think your personal parameters would make a trip to the Appalachians in eastern Kentucky a prime destination. Drank on some of their sweet sweet bourbon and if you have enough I'm sure that you can find some good skiing.

Well, we're coming to Colorado lol. I'll be there next week, staying with a buddy who got us 30% off lift tickets. Overall, it's going to be a fairly cheap trip.

South suburbs. Hit me up privately if and when you can make it. We can discuss via cell. Totally buy you a round of drinks or two.

Well, if you ever make it to Denver I'd love to hear it. Or, you can always share on our beloved CCS! I'm all ears/eyes!

The short version is, I chose some really bad equity partners that committed to a cash investment that never delivered, and I got left holding the bag.

Live and learn!
