As our wedding takes place during the winter season in Colorado, we know many of you may be excited to hit the slopes while you're here. Skiing at one of Colorado’s many world-class resorts is certainly a popular activity for out-of-state guests, and we’re thrilled you’ll have the chance to enjoy it!

However, we want to make sure you're aware of potential delays when traveling to the mountains. The closest major resort to Denver is Winter Park, which, without any traffic, is about an hour and a half away. That said, traffic on I-70 during ski season can be notoriously slow, with delays sometimes stretching to 4-5 hours or more—especially on weekends.

Although it may not be as big and glamorous as the large resorts, we suggest visiting Eldora if you would like to enjoy skiing in a timely manner. Eldora is located about a hour away from Denver and completely avoids I-70 and the major traffic delays. It is also a bit more affordable and family friendly!

To make the most of your time here, we suggest planning a full day for skiing, either before or after the day of wedding, to avoid any unnecessary stress. We want to make sure you have a chance to relax, enjoy the festivities, and experience all that Colorado has to offer!
