Great mountain offering bunny slope area and green runs for beginner skiers or snowboarders. Also one of the few that offer night skiing. There's a small cafe that serves drinks and food. read more

Echo Mountain - Menu - Ski Resorts Near Me - Idaho Springs, Colorado

I visited Echo Mountain as a first-time snowboarder and paid for rentals, lift access, and a helmet. I was directed to the beginner area with the understanding that staff would be hands-on and supportive with new riders. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The staff lacked warmth and did not provide the level of hands-on guidance that beginners need. When I asked for help, the assistance felt hesitant and dismissive rather than instructional. I was sent down the beginner slope without being taught how to stop, slow down, or fall safely. As a result, I gained speed quickly, fell backward, and hit my head on the ice (despite wearing a helmet). I was visibly distressed and remained on the slope for some time without staff checking on me or intervening, which was concerning given that other beginners were actively using the area. Due to the lack of instruction, attentiveness, and overall care, I did not feel safe continuing and was unable to use the snowboarding portion of my visit. I reported the issue on-site and later contacted guest services to share my concerns. I hope management takes beginner safety, staff engagement, and hands-on instruction more seriously moving forward, as this experience did not feel supportive or safe for someone new to the sport. read more

Echo Mountain near Denver is a great spot in winter for a quick getaway. They have a small but fun tubing area and a ski area that's perfect for a short trip. We really enjoyed our time there read more

We had to best time here!! I don't know how to ski, only snowboard but the staff were so friendly and helpful on my new ski journey, love it!! Our family will be back. Maybe after brushing up on our skills a little more. This is an intermediate course. Start small. They do have a green/beginner area but it was pretty congested when we were there. Nevertheless, the staff never let it show. They were patient with all us beginners. The grill on sight was very tasty, busy but tasty. Lol Thanks guys! read more

Our family loved snow tubing. Eric in particular was really friendly and helpful, and he made it worth the trip.

My friends and I came here to learn to ski this weekend. My friends already had lessons booked at Winter Park but when they saw these prices, they cancelled. We rented equipment and got lift tickets for cheap! Adults (Ages 16-64): $59 - $77 per person Children (Ages 6-15): $40 - $50 per person Compared to their resorts, it's a steal. Now, let me say: THERE ARE NO LESSONS HERE. They have "Ambassadors" that will give you amazing pointers and even take pics of you. This was my first time skiing and I rocked it. These guys were all so nice and cool. I can't recommend this place enough. Shout out also to the equipment rental employees. They were super nice and informative. They gave us a great recommendation for a late lunch too. My only negative is that the ONLY slope that I could ski here is the bunny slope. The next level up was WAY too advanced for a beginner. Trust me, I tried, failed, and did the walk of shame back up the hill. If you're cool spending the day on the bunny slope, this is your spot. Now I need to find an intermediate spot so that I can learn and then come back and ski those awesome runs for a great price. I hope I'm a fast learner. read more

Echo Mountain - Newbies!!! The first of many ski days. - Ski Resorts Near Me - Idaho Springs, Colorado

What a beautiful mountain to explore. My husband and I went to Echo Mountain to ski and went to natural hot springs after. We had so much fun skiing here, no line, no crowd. The mountain view is epic, the sky is blue, and the cloud is big and white!! The ticket system works very fast here. The staff is friendly and works super fast. There is only one lift but there are a lot of slope options you can choose from. For beginner skiers or snowboarders, please make sure to check the ski map or directions in case gets to the blue slope by accident. we came on the weekend, and only paid $60 each for the lift ticket. It was so cheap! I would definitely come back again! read more

Holy cow!! I cannot say enough positive things about the staff and my experience at Echo Mountain. The word "Hospitality" would be an understatement. I've only been once but I will be returning! The bartenders and staff were so friendly and helpful - and even when electrical problems occurred , the ski-patrol and staff rose to the occasion and exuded pure professionalism. The young man with black earrings working the ticket desk 02/20/25 was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure all us guests were safe and in good spirits! I would HIGHLY recommend Echo mountain purely for the quality of people they have working there. I lost my wallet while they were dealing with a greater situation and the staff actively seeked me out to return it to me. Truly a 5-star experience! These people care and it shows! Please give your staff a big high-five! Echo mountain will forever be a place I recommend! read more

We are a local family and came up on New Year's Eve 2025 to go tubing. It was so much fun! I want to give a special shout out to Anthony, Fallon, and Alex, who were a big part of the fun. They had great energy and were really helpful, and were especially great to my 8 year old. They gave him a cute nickname and cheered him on every time he came up to the top for a run. Thanks so much, you guys! Happy New Year! read more

I can only review this place on the tubing zone. Since there wasnt enough snow yet, snowboarding and skiing wasn't available. 3 stars bc the staff was rude and the tubing slope was very underwhelming. They had 5, maybe 6 slide slopes. Not very steep at all. Also their food truck only had hot chocolate and candies. I also feel sorry for the people that have to clean the nasty portapotties. I just didn't have a good feel here bc I didn't feel like I was playing in the snow. read more

We visited this place in March 2023. Well worth the drive and very family and small kid friendly. We wanted to tube and play it safe. I highly recommend it. My kids loved it. There is skiing and snowboarding in other areas. They do have a deli but we didn't try it at this time. read more

Amazing place for first timers. the bunny slope is small so you do have to wait your turn if it's at a busier time. the actual slopes are little scary and more for advanced skiers/snowboarders! super easy to get rentals and they will walk you through putting the equipment on and off ! i will say the bathrooms are not the cleanest but that is to be expected when it's snowy outside read more

Took the kids to meet tube with Santa and make gingerbread houses. Family had a great time. Very basic food & drinks but still enjoyed our experience. read more

We had a really great time. The instructors and rental people were all incredibly helpful. I only took off a star for the jerk at the top of Ski lift who asked me to move after I fell flat on my back exiting the ski lift. The guy at the bottom was nice helpful. This guy was a jerk. Could you move? Um, could you help? The first slope past the practice slope is incredibly misleading and insanely steep. But you have to go down that slope to get to the ski lift. At the top of the mountain those slopes are not nearly as steep. If you want to only do the practice slope, don't purchase a ski lift pass. Ski rentals prices were affordable at $45. As beginners, it was a great Time, minus the guy at the top of the ski lift. There's a lodge and a little bar that serves some food items that we enjoyed. read more

Great for small children. There are no festive lights as they have posted on their website and it's a single smaller hill. We were told there was a lodge open that our pregnant friend could hang out in but the lodge was closed when we got there. $42 per person. read more

Echo Mountain - The single hill - Ski Resorts Near Me - Idaho Springs, Colorado

There's just one chairlift, the 4-5 runs are pretty short, and you'll probably get bored here after a few hours. That said--it's worth a stop if in the area. Conditions were great, it's not crowded, and the food is actually pretty good. For the price it's hard to do better for a ski day trip from Denver. read more

Love love this place!! The bunny slope ambassador curt was amazing. I could never learn how to ski until I came here!! read more

Ok so the tubing hill is fun but not out of this world. We came up for tubing and we it did 3 runs (20 minutes) cause we got bored. I did not ski BUT how close it was to Denver (1 hour), it might be worth it! read more

The close independent ski areas to Denver, like Berthoud Pass and Geneva Basin, are gone. All that remains is Echo and Loveland. Echo is super close and inexpensive--how about a season pass for under $400 bucks? The other part is the drive-up. Forget about the I-70 weekend and now weekday traffic jams from the Eisenhower Tunnel to Georgetown. A simple I-70 to State Highway 74 (Evergreen Parkway) to 103 (Squaw Pass) and you are there. Echo gives the skier the old-time vibe of what Colorado ski areas used to be like. Family and people-friendly, there to help with anything that comes up. Not the corporate astronomical prices like try $50 bucks for a burger, a slide of fries, and a coke. Yep, even the food is good without forking over a paycheck. A great place for the beginner that won't break the bank either. read more

The staff is so responsive & helpful on Instagram. Thankful for the professional & swiftness in their customer service!

The employees were extremely helpful and accommodating especially jeremiah and chris who helped with our ski issues. It was a great time and would definitely recommend we will definietly be back. read more

AVOID, when you call you get an answering machine. You can't cancel your reservation and they do NOT refund you ANYTHING.

I went night tubing at Echo Mountain. I didn't even think about it, but I definitely should have taken meds to not get car sick. We were prepared for the roads with our vehicle. I don't get super car sick, but I was feeling a bit nauseous after the drive. There is this conveyer belt you ride up to the top of the slope. The car ride + first time on that made me need to sit out for a bit. Unfortunately at night, the food truck was not open and the vending machine inside was broken. So just be prepared and bring any food or drinks you may need. After sitting down for a bit and sipping water, I was fine. The tubes go super fast! Especially with adult weight! It was so much fun. I was sad the tickets were only for an hour. Two adults, no children. When we first arrived, it seemed like mostly families and not any adult couples or groups. This tubing is definitely great for adults too! Bathrooms are porter potties. They were terrible, but at night you have to use your phone for light or I guess if you have a flashlight read more

When it's a blizzard or light drizzle of snow echo is the place to go. I went on one lift but it was quiet yet moderate speed lift. The features and trails were okay good nothing that will blow your mind. But I would recommend that you take a friend that's starting out to ski or snowboard. Pro tip: buy your tickets in advance online read more

I came here for the snow tubing hill as part of a group tour. We were the very first group to ever use the tubing hill so I'm sure it will get better with time. We did night tubing and it was extremely cold. I'm from Chicago and while everyone else was freezing at Loveland the weekend prior I was fine. I was one of the few in our group to tube the entire hour..most went down twice and then sat in the bus to warm up before coming out again, so dress for the elements. The lift was great, the runs were long. The only thing that would have made it better would be to have a designated person to push tubers down. I noticed a big difference when I scooter myself down and when someone pushed me down. There was a lodge area with a fireplace to warm up. They had lockers available as well. The restaurant served food and drinks. I'd come back during the day. read more

Great views here. Very shameful how the parking staff treats guests. They force you to unnecessarily park insanely close. I parked in the back today to avoid having to park 18" from the person next to me. Dummy in the Oakley goggles clearly had someone park closer than a foot on purpose just to irritate me after we exchanged words earlier. Probably won't be back over it. read more

I wish I could give this place a better review but they made that impossible. I could not attend my reservation due to Covid. I contacted them as soon as possible after finding out I was exposed, which was the morning of my reservation. I assumed like most businesses nowadays, that I would be able to get a refund with proof of a positive result. I was WRONG! I understand the normal policy of not refunding orders for missed reservations however this was not me simply missing a reservation, it was a matter of public safety. The CDC has said it can take anywhere from two to 14 days after someone is exposed to the virus to present symptoms. And that's not counting asymptomatic people. They want you to cancel 3 days prior for a refund. Was I supposed to cancel my reservation before I even had symptoms? They're so consumed with profit that they haven't updated their cancellation policy to reflect the state of the world. Oh yeah, Lindsey has absolutely no customer service skills. What company representative signs off with "If you're unable to visit, we wish you the best and hope your next trip goes smoother and is sickness free." after refusing to refund me and acknowledging that it was impossible for me to reschedule? Do better. read more

Below is the review I posted on Google last month. Decided to post it here as well after just learning that our ill loved one at the time reached back out to Echo Mountain on our behalf. She felt awful about the events that occurred. Well a rep from Echo Mountain responded back to her & let's just say his response is unreal. I will post the ridiculous & unprofessional email shortly. One of our family members begin to have heart problems in the early am before our tubing reservation. We were scheduled for the first slot at 9am. Below are the screenshots of my conversation with their guest services manager. They refused to issue us a refund and wouldn't allow reservations for a future visit in December 2022. read more

First time here and probably last one too. It's an ok place, customer service is bad. As soon as I stepped out my car some lady rushed to tell me that I wasn't allowed to walk in with my dog, which is understandable and I wouldn't have brought my puppy if I knew dogs weren't allowed in the property away from all the activities. No phone number in their webpage to call and ask, a misleading sign of a dog sitting on a tube at their front desk, bad propaganda in my opinion. With that being said, the kids enjoyed tubing. read more

This is a good site mostly for beginners. They have good selection of rental skis. There is a learning hill w/ magic carpet and one lift with access to a few runs. They also have a tubing hill which is a nice break from skiing. The view from the parking lot is beautiful and the lodge is nice. But again, mostly for beginners or casual skiers. read more

After all my research this was the closest one to downtown Denver so we chose to come here and it being most of our first time skiiing it was also the cheaper route. For the ski lift package and rental for the day it ended up being $90. Which isn't bad but you get no training but the workers are helpful if you ask them. After a couple times on the bunny slopes i thought i was a pro so i challenge myself to go down to the ski lift and boy was i wrongi should of did some more practice on the bunny slopes. For you first timers make sure you are truly confident before you go to the ski lift bc you have to ski all the way down and it is not easy at all!! For my first time i did ok. I'm glad i did it but i probably won't ski again. I tumbled down and i didn't get hurt so let me stop while I'm ahead lol. Oh and make sure when you return your ski gears it's yours bc they do check all the numbers. read more
