A combination of altitude, a unique climate and big storms sweeping in from the west
mean that Wolf Creek is a real snow trap, so much so that it picks up almost 11m of powder a year. Add in its fairly remote location and you have the perfect combination – no crowds and lots of powder. This means that although there’s some decent skiing for beginners or intermediates, the real attraction is the advanced and expert terrain, plus the renowned tree-skiing. The runs off Knife Ridge are the jewel in the crown, but there are also some great steep runs in the Waterfall and Alberta Peak zones.
There is little more at the base than a couple of lodges and a big car park, so you’ll need to stay down the hill if you’re looking to ski here. Pagosa Springs or South Fork are your best bets, each lying around half an hour away. Wolf Creek’s remote location (you either need an internal flight or a five hour drive from Denver to get here) means it is worth tying in your trip with a visit to another nearby resort – Telluride, Silverton and Purgatory are good options.

Getting to Wolf Creek
The resort is a mere hour and a half away from Denver by car and its also possible to get there easily by bus or even the train, just add on an extra hour to the journey.

Snow Overview
USA
Updated 24/12
The Left Coast’s historically bad start to the season begins to slowly turn a corner this week, with temperatures falling in all locations west of the Mississippi. It will remain mostly dry, however, with sun and a few belts of cloud throughout. A few flurries of snowfall will come down in the PNE and Frontier Ranges.
Further north, the Tetons benefits from excellent conditions north of the border to see steady snowfall from Wednesday night thruoghout the Christmas period, with around a foot down at all elevations as things turn cooler and cooler across the weekend.
On the Ice Coast, great conditions continue with snowfall expected on Christmas Day as temperatures plummet to 1F (-16C). Things turn drier and sunnier – and milder, too – into the weekend meaning skiing conditions will be ace!
