I’m planning a trip to Denver to ski (and snowboard) for Spring Break.

What are the best "parts" of the city to stay in, and what are some good ski mountains (the more challenging, the better)?

Any other nightlife suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks in advance!

As a heads up, the closest major ski areas to Denver are 60+ miles away. Although 60 miles doesn’t sound far, the traffic is terrible on the weekends and it can take 2+ hours each way. So, if the goal of your trip is skiing, you may want to stay up in the mountains instead of in Denver. FYI, Breckenridge and Vail have the best nightlife of the ski areas. If you’re looking to party for spring break, I’d go to Breck or Vail.

For challenging skiing, I suggest Copper Mountain, they have the best and steepest bowls with a complimentary snowcat ride to the steepest terrain. Vail is large and a good place to ski, but their back bowls aren’t too steep. Arapahoe Basin also has challenging terrain and is close to Denver making it an easy day trip if you don’t stay in the mountains.

If you choose to stay in Denver, definitely stay downtown. The best nightlife is in the Lodo (lower-downtown) area. The Lodo area has all types of bars and clubs (from dive bars to Vegas/Miami style clubs) to suit any taste.

Have fun.

Still looking into a nice place to move my family. I checked into other things but i’m wondering what the nightlife is like as far as live bands and what types of music. Is there a good metal/punk scene and how friendly are people?

Nightlife in Denver is a good time. Check out www.westword.com. There are quite a few venues to see live bands and a couple of them have metal/punk shows often.

There are also a lot of opportunities to take the whole family to see live music downtown and at Red Rocks.

I am looking for someone who is from Denver. I am planning to move out there because my husband’s family is in Denver. Currently we have no family near us in Nashville. What are the pros and cons of Denver? What are some good neighborhoods to live in?

Denver’s awesome. I hope someday I’ll find myself back there. Good neighborhoods include, but are not limited to: Cherry Creek, Englewood, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch. There are a lot of great neighborhoods, actually. The weather is great out there. You get all 4 seasons, unlike the south where it’s just hot, hot, and hotter. What’s cool about Denver weather is that a lot of time when it snows, it’s sunny and beautiful the next day (every now and then you do get blizzards, though). There’s a lot of great shopping, lots of great music venues, and a lot of great bars (someone told me that Denver has more bars per capita than any other city in the U.S.) The people are very friendly there, and you’re close to the mountains. The only bad thing about Denver are the Bronco fans (not the Broncos, just the fans).

Lower Downtown’s continually growing number of
restaurants, bars and brew-pubs ensures that the area
is vibrant and alive during the week and positively
jumping at the weekend. Live music can be found there
most nights, as well as at Cherry Creek. Country music
is prevalent, as are jazz and blues and, with a bit of
searching, you will also find venues offering folk,
bluegrass, hard rock and pop. In the clubs, you can
expect to dance to everything from 60s and 70s tunes to
hip hop, house and jazz. Dressing is informal and
anything goes, provided it is tidy and clean. Under state
licensing laws alcohol can be served 0700-0200 but
only to people over the age of 21 years old.

Have fun!

Just kinda curious of what possible trades others may suggest to make Denver able to compete for a championship?

1. needs a good point guard if ever they start Iverson at 2. That point guard should be a pass-first kind of guard like their starter last season, Blake.
2. needs a healthy frontline. Camby, Nene, Martin should be injury-less the whole season in order for them to got a higher seed in the tough west. They got one of the best frontline in the NBA but they doesn’t play in full force because one time or another, someone is injured.
3. needs a reliable sub at 2-spot so that Iverson can slide to 1 if they are against team with big backcourt such as Lakers or Houston (if T-Mac played at 2)
4. needs a better focus during playoff. it’s terible to be sweep by Spurs after winning game 1 on the road.
