Best places to Ski?

[Chief Walking Stick]

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

Mountains are generally the best place to ski in my experience.

Watch out for those edibles.... Unless you are looking to lose a day to the sofa....

I've done drugs before, thanks

Sounds like you already have tickets. But A-Basin is a sweet mountain. No resort on site and they are no longer part of Vail Resorts, so its cheaper. It's my go-to. Its just a bit further up the road from Keystone coming from Silverthorne.

And yes, hit up DC's restaurant if you get time!

I was originally going to recommend Chestnut ski hill. Until I realized you meant a real ski resort...

+1 for Basin. I don't do it anymore, but always had a good time there.

Oh, and forgot to mention the bacon bloody marys. They are amazing. I have changed what hill I am going to, just to get one.
