Golden, Yes or No

[arcticdodge]

I am thinking of going to Golden around Dec 27 for a few days. I have only ever been to the CNP, Atlas, and Corbin. I am wondering where is a good safe place to sled for a guy with some but not alot of mountain experience. Also interested in a hotel which is safe and hopefully secure. When at these areas do you need a trail pass daily, weekly or yearly? Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark:d

quartz creek is probably your best bet. it's about 15-20 mins W of golden on the number 1. great area to ride for all abilities. the trail in is only about 10 miles or so and is groomed a lot. they collect trail fees in the parking lot, i think they are $15 still for the day. there is a nice cabin at the base of the riding area, and all in all, a good place to ride. as for hotels, i know lots of guys that stay at the golden rim. good rooms, restaurant and bar.

Some friends i know went up quartz creek this season already and said it was good ! do you guys still think it will be ridable?

These guys are bang on as far as Quartz is concerned. I've also stayed at the Ponderossa Inn before. It was just a room but it was clean and if you tell them your a sledder they have an extra discount, which means more $$$ for fuel and other recreational activities in the evening
