The Indy Pass

My money's on Cooper. A pleasant off-the-beaten-path joint with good snow preservation. See my reports from the last few years.

I agree. It would be nice if they could add one or two more in CO so a trip can be made.

What's the best place to stay if you want to do one day at Suicide 6 and one day at Bolton?

S6 isn't going to keep you entertained for a full day (unless you are easily entertained). I assume you would be coming from your Cabin? I would tag S6 and then double back and stay in the Montpelier area. Unless you are looking for something specific in your lodging selection?

Woodstock has a bed base, most of it is probably pricey. Okay town if you want the touristy thing.

S6 to Montpelier is an hour. S6 to Bolton is 1.5. Bolton has on mountain lodging, not really anything else. Burlington also nearby, depending on whether you are coming or going. Directional logistics would impact lodging location.

What's the best place to stay if you want to do one day at Suicide 6 and one day at Bolton?

I would back @saratogahalfday on the suggestion to stay in Burlington but I am partial to that town as its home to my alma mater and many fond memories. Perhaps skip Suicide all together, bring your touring equipment, spend one day at Bolton, then one morning in the Bolton backcountry followed by an afternoon at Cochrans just for the experience.

If you sticking to Suicide 6 and Bolton @riverc0il has the right idea with MontP AKA the only state capitol without a McDonalds. That would also open up the ability to dine at Mad Taco which would be a pretty solid add on in my book.

I assume you

Asking for a friend. Should have said that upfront.

But I probably would enjoy S6. I'm not a fan of skiing more than one place in a day.

I agree Woodstock probably too much for this trip.

Indy Adds Sunlight Mountain Colorado

We are very excited to announce our first Colorado resort and wanted you to be one of the first to know. If you'd like to speak to me or Troy Hawks from Sunlight our contact information is included here. Thanks for all your past support of the Indy Pass and I hope you're having a great season.

Sunlight Mountain Resort, Colorado Joins Indy Pass

Sunlight is now available for Indy Pass holders to ski through Spring 2022 and next season.

PORTLAND, Ore. (February 15, 2021) – The Indy Pass announced today that Sunlight Mountain Resort would join as a partner resort for the remainder of the 21-22 season and 2022-23 with no blackout days. Sunlight becomes the first in Colorado to join the fast-growing coalition. It's located in the heart of Colorado ski country 10 miles south of Glenwood Springs in between Vail and Aspen. Featuring breathtaking views of Mt. Sopris and the Elk Mountain Range, Sunlight boasts 2010 vertical feet with a summit elevation of 9995, 72 runs, and three lifts that access a wide variety of terrain including one of Colorado’s steepest lift-served runs.

“The entire team here at Sunlight is excited to join the Indy Pass family of independent ski areas and we can’t wait for more skiers and riders to come and enjoy a two-day taste test. We’re confident they will enjoy spreading out on our 730 acres served up the old school Rocky Mountain way,” said Sunlight's Troy Hawks.

"Adding Sunlight is a huge win for Indy Passholders. Colorado is North America's ground zero for skiing and snowboarding and now we have access to one of the most cherished indie mountains remaining in that great state, said Indy Pass founder Doug Fish. The mountain skis much bigger than it looks on paper and the base operation is as authentic and laid back as anything you'll find in the West."

Excellent! Here's my Sunlight report from MLK weekend two years ago.

If Indy Pass could figure out a way to add Cooper, Powderhorn, and/or Monarch, they'd have a great handful of ski areas.
