Uh.....  Have you looked at the map as to where Cheyenne is?  Short answer is you're not skiing anywhere around Cheyenne without getting into a car and driving several hours.  Cheyenne is on the high plains...

Closest place is probably Eldora in Colorado, which is maybe 2.5-3 hours from Cheyenne.  Then there's all the I-70 resorts, Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, etc that are 4+ hours away, Vail will be 5+ hours and so on...

Jackson Hole is maybe 5-6 hours from Cheyenne...

Is there any place in Wyoming where you CAN'T ski this time of year?

Cross country skiing may be a thing there. Heck, I wonder if they ski with sails, like kite boarding? Both times I've been through Cheyenne it was windy.

Has anyone been to snowy range? The Google says it's an hour away?

You mean to tell me that the entirety of Wyoming isn't on the side of a big, rocky, mountain?  Who knew?

Yeah, Jackson Hole, which isn't particularly close to Cheyenne.  Or up near Sheridan, which is 4+ hours from Cheyenne.

I was there once. It's good, if a little small. Only 900 ft of drop, but it's a decent place with a good mix of runs. Blue heavy, but I like that. I'd go back if I was in the neighborhood.

What about the front range by Denver? Rather not go to the back range, Copper mt. Etc.

I've honestly never been there.  It's far enough away from me that if I'm planning on going skiing, I just head up to Vail.

Good call on Eldora! Nice mix of runs, friendly helpful staff, and the snow was just what I needed. Two thumbs up, thank you sir!

Nice!  Glad you liked it!  I'm heading up to Vail this Thursday, my shoulder is finally healed up enough for me to ski and they're supposed to get snow all this week, woot!
