In addition to miles of cruising intermediate terrain, Sunlight's East Ridge has one of the steeper runs in the state. Aptly named, The Heathen falls beneath your feet at a breathtaking 52 degrees. Sunlight is home to one of the longest trails in ski country, Ute, a beginner slope that winds more than 2 miles from summit to base. Sunlight also hosts some of the best tree skiing in Colorado with many aspen groves untracked days after snowfall. All trails converge at the base lodge, so friends and family can always keep track of each other « less

A less expensive place to ski, with generally good skiing and easy access from Glenwood Springs. The lifts are the old fashioned slow ones, everything is low key and friendly. More

Want to get away from crowds, overpriced foodstuffs and busrides from the parking lot to avoid having to pay $25 to park slope side? Want to find fresh lines at 3pm on a powder day? Want to ski some of the best steep and loaded tree runs in Colorado? Want to pay a fraction for the lift tickets compared with... More

We have always had a great time here. The lift operators, ski patrol and rental crews are very friendly and helpful. The swim and ski package makes a weekend vacation much more affordable. We love coming up here every year. More

Sunlight is very casual and all the staff was very friendly and helpful. I don't have anything negative to say at all. Glenwood springs has activities for the... More

As a recent transplant living between Aspen & Sunlight Mountain, I find myself skiing more at Sunlight than anywhere else. I read a reviewer comment complaining that there were too many kids on the mountain but the rest of the review was positive. That is EXACTLY why I love it up there. It is a mountain that is a bit...

I had not skied Sunlight for over 30 years, so I admit to a bit of nostalgia. They have added some terrain and even double diamond bumps. Not a good snow year this year, but the skiing was fine and not particularly crowded on a sunny Sunday in February. Sunlight should be a destination for families!! Much cheaper than nearby... More
