For such a huge resort, not much is visible from the valley floor. You'll need to get higher to enjoy the huge views. It's at least 2,200' to the summit ridge (on the Lionshead side), and not that easy at this altitude! Taking the gondola gets you to the better trails faster, but it's not cheap unless you have a ski pass (which includes summer usage for free). It's free to ride down if you get yourself up.
Visiting Tips
Trails at the top usually open for July 4th. Wildflowers start to peak in mid-July most years and extend through August. The aspens are spectacular starting in mid-September, and the crowds are all gone by then.
Parking in both structures is free during the summer. It fills up on weekends, but when that happens, overflow parking is allowed on the frontage roads.

Food & Drink
After the Ride: Local Favorites
Rimini Gelato
I think I went here every day while on my trip. Love their hot chocolate, gelato, cookies and sandwiches (breakfast and savory). Super nice people too!
The Dusty Boot Steakhouse and Saloon
Skip this joint, $7 each for side salid and chips and salsa. Far under par to "boot"... Two thumbs down.
Blue Moose Pizza
There is an unpublished lunch special. Drink & a slice of pie for a bargain.
Nozawa Sushi
The sushi is fresh and tastes pretty good!
Gondola Pizza
The gondola pizza was out of this world!
The Columbine Bakery
Cakes/tortes are gorgeous and delicious.
No Se Hagan Bolas Taqueria

Go for the Azteca! Cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, garlic, pepperoni. Oh my!

A real gem... don't be fooled by the exterior in a strip mall- fresh, authentic!
Local Joes pizza
