GREAT DEAL
Echo Mountain is nothing but a great deal and still the cheapest season pass and daily lift ticket in Colorado. Skiing and riding from 9am to 9pm five days a week. Proximity to Denver means less time on the road and more time on the snow.

MOUNTAIN DINING
Offering a variety of no-frills fare, the Echo Bar & Cafe features convenience items ranging from pizza, soup and burritos to brownies, energy drinks and fresh-baked cookies. The Echo Bar offers a variety of domestic beers, seasonal microbrews and daily happy hour specials.

LESSONS
The Echo Ski & Ride School offers group and private instruction for adults, teens and children as young as three years old. Weekend progression sessions focus on the art of freestyle skiing and riding. Lessons are offered weekends and weekdays to fit your busy schedule. After school or after work, you can improve your skiing and riding and still keep your boss happy or get your homework done.

BIGGEST EVENT
"Team Challenge" is Echo's most fun and spectator-friendly event. Held mid-February, costumed teams of three ski and ride in unison and are judged on team synchronicit and creativity. "Last Park Standing," held late April, is Echo's end-of-season event competition open to pro and amateur skiers and riders.
