Accommodation
Accommodation is available in the nearby town of Nederland and in Boulder just 30 minutes away, so there is much to choose from. Hint: Due to the closeness to Boulder, Colorado, finding accommodation is not a problem. This is because many of the hotels in Boulder have cheap winter prices and visitors are scarce at this time of the year.

Resort Facilities
Getting Around
Eldora Mountain Resort is a fairly small ski resort, the village isn't the type that everyone stays in. As such the village is rather small and getting around isn't much of a task.
As shown in the map everything you need is concentrated in the "Little Hawk Family Zone" so getting around on site, walking is the best option.
To access the rest of the mountain, the best way to go about it is either skiing or boarding.
Parking
Eldora Ski resort has free parking in both its main and lower lots, located in the main village area.
