I call these my Goldilocks trails, because they're just right. A half mile of fun, technical descent on professionally designed trails with an easy half mile, wide trail for the pedal up. Most bike parks use the same symbols/designations to mark trails as ski resorts - green/easy, blue/intermediate, black/difficult. As you look at the Front Range, your Green trails start to your left, far right is the Black Line, and there's plenty of the in between. http://eriesingletrack.com/trail-maps/

Ski from the Front Range! I learned to snowboard late in life and have fallen in love with the activity. Now, I have been to many ski resorts and I will say that Eldora is The Best for learning to ski or board. Their beginner terrain is expansive and unbeatable. They have plenty of steeps for the more advanced too. You can even take a bus from the downtown Boulder bus stop (on Canyon St.) to the ski resort. My cross country/nordic ski friends say that this is one of the most enjoyable courses in the state. https://www.eldora.com/

Many locals will make the day trip up to Trestle for one of the best downhill biking experiences in the world. Downhill biking in Colorado is everything you would imagine it to be, an adrenaline filled day. I definitely suggest always starting with a Green trail to get a sense of any bike park. From the Farmhouse to Trestle you are 1 hour and 38 minutes away. Its a breathtaking mountain drive that takes you over Berthoud Pass. Keep in mind that i-70 traffic, the main artery into our mountains, does vary quite a bit.
