Ski resort hot spots

Published: March 2, 2008

Here's a look at the top five places for Oklahoman spring breakers to ski:

1. Wolf Creek Ski Area, southern Colorado: With a base of 162 inches, snow is not a problem. Wolf creek is known for having the most snow in Colorado. This mountain knows powder, and is also Colorado's best kept secret.

2. Buttermilk, Aspen Colo.: Base of 67 inches. They might not have the most snow, but this is the home mountain to ESPN's Winter X-games so they must know something.

3. Crested Butte resort, Colorado: Base of 89 inches. Great snow, shops, dinning and night life. Crested Butte is ideal for the family that has someone that wants the vacation without the skiing.

4. Red River Ski area, New Mexico: Base of 65 inches. Red River is a smaller resort that is ideal for family getaways or a quick weekend trip. If the kiddos tucker out with a half day of skiing, there is still more fun to be had tubbing and snowmobiling.

5. Angel Fire resort, New Mexico: Base of 54 inches. Angel Fire's claim to fame is having the most diverse terrain in New Mexico. Angle Fire has two terrain parks, cross country trails and New Mexico's only freestyle half pipe.
