Hoedown Hill - what you need to know
- Hands down the most affordable and convenient beginner's hill for the majority of Coloradoans. Perfect for first time skiers and snowboarders!
- Located in the town of Windsor, CO, we are just an hour north of Denver and ~20min from the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland.
- While smaller than the mega resorts off of I-70, we offer open slopes and modern amenities, perfect for families looking for an authentic introduction to winter sports.
- Fun for the whole family. Parents seeking thrills can enjoy tubing while the kids learn to ski. Likewise, you can lounge in an sdirondack chair with hot cocoa while taking photos from the warmth of the Grain House.
- Snow Schoolers operates all ski and snowboard lessons, but we do not sell lift tickets or tubing tickets. To purchase lift tickets or to make a tubing reservation, visit the The Water Valley's main reservation website at www.hoedownhill.com.
