Ski & Snowboard

The sport that draws more tourists to Pagosa Springs than any other has to be skiing and snowboarding! Pagosa Springs is located only thirty minutes away from Wolf Creek Ski Area whose claim to fame is the most snow in Colorado! Wolf Creek averages about 430 inches of snowfall a year and attracts skiers from all over the United States for it's legendary powder. It can accomodate about 5,000 skiers on its 1,600 skiable acres and 1,604 ft of vertical drop. But unless it's Christmas Break or Texas Spring Break Week, you won't see nearly that many. Lifts operate from 8:30am to 4:00pm and the season usually starts in early November and lasts until early April.
