@blkyphoto says Wolf Creek has a great small town vibe and the people are always incredibly kind!
This is a mountain town that I have not visited, so I will start with some stats straight from Wolf Creek Ski!
Skiable Acres - 1,600
Vertical Drop - 1,605 feet
Base Elevation - 10,300
Summit Elevation - 11,904
Longest Run - 2 miles - Navajo Trail
Annual Snowfall - 430 Natural Inches
Based on the annual snowfall - the ski town has been coined "The Most Snow in Colorado!" As of right now, November 27, 2019 - the base is 32 inches and they have 16 inches of fresh powder (most of Colorado is being dumped on today!)
It all started back in 1938 when "lift tickets" cost $1/day, and a Chevy truck towed a rope. Around the world, chair lifts were starting to be developed but this mountain didn't get with the times of chair lifts until 1972.
FYI - if that dollar back in 1938 is adjusted for inflation - it would be $17.45 - however..... todays adult tickets are $76! But you can get atop the mountain by more than a Chevy truck - nothing against Chevy trucks!
Here is a yelp review I found: "We're on our fourth visit to Wolf Creek and here's why we keep coming back. The skiing is excellent, with lots of varieties of runs, updated/new lifts every couple of years, and even when extremely crowded (Spring Break) the slopes are still navigable. The food service is excellent---far above Angel Fire, which we last went to. We eat a big lunch every day and you can eat well for $7 to $10 per person. Lots of variety (quiche, pizza, burgers, 2 new soups each day, chicken tenders, etc. ) Today I had a special, black bean and chicken burrito on a bed of rice smothered with green chili and any dessert of my choice for $10. It was better than most Mexican restaurants. Did I mention the oversized rice Krispie treat dessert? We pick it every time and its enough for 2 or 3 to share. Tip: we usually eat at the main base camp restaurant. Get there by 10:45am and you'll find a table and quick service. Eating early pays off since you'll wait less, have a table to sit at, and be done in time to ski during peak lunch time when lines are shorter. If its too crowded there, try eating at the top of the Raven lift." He comes from TX - where I'm pretty sure their annual snow fall is none?
@chaselikestrees pictured above's only comment in the photo was "Clouds". He said Wolf Creek is the "snowiest place in the southwest."
WINTER - "The Most Snow in Colorado!" - you might want to get first chair!
SPRING - Chimney Rock National Monument and Rock Climbing to name a few!
SUMMER - Fly fishing on the San Juan River - there is even a guided tour!
FALL - Treasure Falls - and Treasure Mountain holds buried gold.
