Spring Break Trip - 2011

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

During spring break this year we'll be shreddin' the champaign pow of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Steamboat is home to 25 lifts serving 142 trails.

Google maps shows this bus trip as a short and sweet 20 hours worth of non-stop fun. With the ability to take I-80 almost directly to the resort, our driving time should be much shorter than usual. This means no back road winding turns with an average speed of 20 mph. We should be cruising all the way out, so there's a good chance the overall trip time will be shorter than most of our trips. If you're not interested in the most gnarly bus ride of all time, then you might be out of luck. This closest major airport is probably Denver which is a solid 3 and a half our drive away. If you don't like flying and don't want to take the bus, let us know and we can try to hook up with some fellow members to car pool out there.

Be sure to sign up on the mailing list and friend us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/purdueskiclub) for all of the latest updates and information. Our office hours this semester are from 7-9PM on Wednesday and Thursday below Starbucks in the union (#B50F2) so be sure to stop by and ask any questions that you might have or hang out and drink some Rockstar.

Winter Trip - 2010

Park City, Utah

During winter break this year we'll be shreddin' some pow in Park City, Utah. Home to the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City boasts an absolutely phenominal resume with over 350in of snow every year, 16 lifts serving over 31,400 people per hour and more than 3300 skiable acres lined with 108 designated trails. The terrain is divided into 33% advanced/expert (black, double black), 50% intermediate (blue, blue-black/double blue), and 17% beginner (green). PC offers 4 terrain parks including an enourmous superpipe used in the 2002 Winter Olympics and King's Crown Superpark, one of the most touted parks in the country.

Google maps shows this bus trip as a short and sweet 24 hours however with stops and the like will probably be closer to 28-30. Despite being farther away than Jackson or most Colorado resorts, the entire trip will more than likely be a straight shot on I-80 all the way out to Utah. This means no back road winding turns with an average speed of 20 mph. We should be cruising all the way out, so there's a good chance the overall trip time will be shorter than most of our trips. If you're not interested in the most gnarly bus ride of all time, Salt Lake City airport is a short and sweet 45 minute drive from Park City with shuttles to take you to and fro. If you don't like flying and don't want to take the bus, let us know and we can try to hook up with some fellow members to car pool out there.

This is the first time in 10 years that PC has hosted college groups, so we'll do our fair share to show them what they've been missing out on. Don't forget to attend our pre-trip waxing/meet and greet "get together" and be sure to sign up on the mailing list and friend us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/purdueskiclub) for all of the latest updates and information.

Spring Break - 2010

Jackson is home to 2,500 acres of the most amazing terrain in America. Among those 2,500 acres of in-bound terrain are over 116 trails split between 3 levels of difficulty -- 10% beginner, 40% intermediate, and 50% advanced/expert. Jackson also has over 3,000 acres of the gnarliest backcountry terrain in the nation. If the 116 in-bound trails start to get boring, there's plenty backcountry to go around. Coupled with the 116 trails are 10 high-speed lifts and the 100-person tram, BIG RED, which result in 16,700 SPH.

Just like all of our trips, there are two options for getting there: with the bus or by yourself. The luxurybus ride is a short and sweet ~25 hours, but rest assured that it will be the most entertaining 25 hour bus ride of your life. If you're planning on taking the (hell of a good time) bus ride, we will be leaving Purdue on March 13th and getting back on the 20th. The trip will be from March 14th to March 19th, so if you're planning on carpooling or flying, plan to be there from those dates.

Winter Trip - 2008

Telluride, Colorado

For our winter trip this year, we will be shreddin' in Telluride, Colorado! Telluride is nestled in the south-west corner of Colorado about 6 hours out of Denver. Telluride is home to 92 trails split relatively evenly between difficulty levels -- 24% beginner, 38% intermediate, and 38% advanced/expert. If it's your first time or your thousandth time, don't worry because there is plenty of variation for everyone. Coupled with the 92 trails are 9 high-speed lifts which result in essentially no lift lines. If you don't plan on spending your entire day on the slopes, then have no fear. Telluride is home to 57 shops and galleries along with 50 spots for coffee, dining, and nightlife.

Telluride is home to two towns, the Mountain Village and the Town of Telluride. We will be staying at the Town of Telluride in 4-star condominiums at the foot of the gondola with easy access to Mountain Village and the hoppin' Telluride nightlife. There are also hot tubs nearby so bring your Borat thongs, and swimsuits if you have them.

Just like all of our trips, there are two options for getting there: with the bus or by yourself. The bus ride is a short and sweet ~28 hours, but rest assured that it will be the most entertaining 28 hour bus ride of your life. If you're looking to fly, it seems that Montrose is the closest semi-big airport around Telluride. American and United fly into Montrose from Chicago, so that may be the route to go. Of course, just about anything flies into Denver, but you're looking at about a 6-7 hour drive after you leave the airport. If you're planning on taking the (hell of a good time) bus ride, we will be leaving Purdue on the 3rd and getting back on the 10th. The trip will be from Jan. 4th to Jan 9th, so if you're planning on carpooling or flying, plan to be there from those dates.
