Buttermilk

There's no better feeling than earning your turns skiing or snowboarding. Skin up Buttermilk Mountain at dawn to catch the sunrise from the top. Watching the light slowly illuminate the Maroon Bell Mountains is an inspiring sight. Then ski down with a huge sense of accomplishment. It's only one run, but it's a great workout. If you don't have your own gear, you can rent some from Ute Mountaineer.
