Whether it’s mid-ski season or midsummer, no skier can keep themselves from dreaming of powder days. While the Colorado Rocky Mountains might hit a dry spell from time to time, when it rains it pours…or…when it snows, it dumps? Here are five of our favorite Colorado powder day videos from around the state.
1. Powder Skiing Colorado Rockies – Brandon Webb
Visiting my cousin Tyler in Breckenridge while of course fitting in some skiing. First weekend using my Line 98 skis Colorado got hit with 47" of snow! This was by far the best powder runs I've ever skied and I just so happened to bring my GoPro! My favorite powder runs were the back bowls at Vail.

This compilation video takes place in Breckenridge and Vail during particularly snowy few days of the 2013/2014 season.
2. Super Deep Telemark Powder Skiing by Pikes Peak Colorado – Freeheelrider
Watch telemark skiers shred super dry powder in North Cheyenne Canyon Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado near Pikes Peak. Ranger's Recommendation, aka The Champagne Couloir, is often filled with desert-dry, champagne powder. When it is, don't expect first tracks.
You don’t see too many telemark skiing videos floating around the Internet unless you’re looking for them. Nevermind a video of someone telemarking on Pikes Peak. Can you imagine how your thighs would feel after this powder day workout?
3. Steamboat Powdercats 22 Inches – Peter Beuth
Dec 22 2013 Steamboat Powdercats had a phenomenal "over the head" powder day with 22" of the world famous Champagne Powder!
Taken during the snowy early winter of 2013 on Buffalo Pass, you’ll want to watch this “over the head” powder for hours.
4. Big Snow at Wolf Creek, Colorado – Wolf Creek
Wolf Creek had received 61 inches of new snow in the week leading up to Feb. 4th, 2014. And the snow continued to pile up for days afterward.

Every once in awhile, there’s so much powder you can hardly tell where you’re going. This video out of Wolf Creek captures that feeling perfectly.
5. Powder Day on Highlands – Ski Aspen
A rippin' powder day on Highlands. Filmed on January 30, 2014 by Nick Farr. Mick Smith skiing and Phil Edge snowboarding. Skiing in Aspen doesn't get much better than this.
This powder isn’t quite as deep as in the other videos featured on this list…it just looks sooooo smooth that we had to include it. Aspen Highlands will always have some of the best snow days around.
