Eldora Mountain Resort is a ski area in the southwest corner of Boulder County, Colorado, near the unincorporated community of Eldora and west of the town of Nederland. ==Location== Eldora is the closest ski area to the Denver metro area. By a large margin, it is the closest to Boulder, and is one of the few Colorado ski resorts on the east side of the continental divide. It is about west of Boulder and about from downtown Denver. The Ski-n-Ride〔http://www.rtd-denver.com/skiNRide.shtml〕 bus (Route N), operated by RTD, runs between Boulder and the ski area seven times daily during ski season and serves as easy transportation from town to mountain. The ski area was founded in 1962 and has proven popular partly due to skiers not having to use the extremely busy I-70 to reach the resort. The summit of the area is at above sea level on Bryan Mountain, with a 1600-foot lift served vertical drop. The slopes face primarily north and east, and the main base area is at . The resort caters mostly to day skiers and snowboarders, although some overnight accommodations are available in Nederland, and many hotel rooms are available in Boulder. In addition to alpine skiing, the Eldora Nordic Center also includes 40 km of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, as well as rentals, lessons and packages. Although Eldora is small compared to some of the bigger resorts in Colorado, the terrain variety is well known and challenging. There are beginner friendly trails located on Little Hawk Mountain, intermediate and advanced trails on Challenge Mountain through Indian Peaks, and expert terrain is found in Corona Bowl and the West Ridge trail which varies from 45 to 70% slope.〔(Eldora Master Plan ) Eldora Mountain Resort 2011 Master Plan〕 After a brief campaign to solicit patron feedback in 2010, an updated master plan was published for 2011.〔 Among the main objectives listed are lift replacements and additions, as well as terrain improvements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eldora Mountain Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
