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

Fun Family Mountain with very reasonable lift ticket prices. A great mountain for families. The lodge could use an update

The shops in Snowmass were nice but the people were less than so, and the prices on rental gear and lift tickets were really high and... More

We only ski occasionally but decided to go ski for a few days at Sunlight Mountain. It's an easy drive from Glenwood Springs and upon arrival we had a great experience. The lift tickets are reasonably priced and everyone from the ski rental employees to the lift ticket operators were very friendly and welcoming. It's a small place, there are... More

My family loves Sunlight Mountain. This is a hidden gem. All slopes come back to one point, the lodge. Ticket pricing and ski schools are affordable. The lodge is very comfortable, but NO WIFI. They sponsor several events throughout the ski season.

My wife and I have returned to skiing after several years off. We planned our return by visiting several smaller mountains and this was our final mountain of the season and we were not disappointed. The runs are long with several great intermediate runs that can truly work your skills. We preferred the west side of the mountain. The runs... More

I'm a flatland skier and have skied a lot of the big name resorts... Keystone, Snowmass, Crested Butte, etc... but found Sunlight to be a great change of pace and great all around skiing experience. The staff was friendly, personable and willing to help with any and all needs that arose. My boots wouldn't adjust so they helped me adjust... More

Just returned home from skiing here with friends - took my child (age 11) for first time and found the 2 hour ski school excellent for a brand new skier. I was back on the slopes after a decade break. I found the entire staff from ski school to school supervisor to the rental staff to the guest services to... More
