I am free at the end of the month as it stands now. I was supposed to go on a hut trip but can't for a few reasons. I have a season pass for Eldora which is a pretty cool place to ski, lots of trails. They do offer lessons up there too if you are interested. I would be more then happy to help you out too. Skate skiing is not my strong style...but I can still do it. You will be amazed at the people skiing there. Being so close to Boulder I am sure there are quite a few pros up there.

As for the trails...they are not flat by any means. I have heard that lots of people come down from Summit County to train at Eldora because of the hills. They have slightly more Traditional then Skate trails.

I am going to see if I can work a half day again soon to go up and play around. Let me know your thoughts. I think we live kind of near each other but can always meet up at Eldora.
