Green/Blue Camp - Lodging & Ticket Info

Postby Diana Rogers » Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:26 am

Hello Harb Ski Campers!

We hope that you are starting to think about the upcoming winter and ski season. If you are planning your lodging for the Ski Granby Ranch Green/Blue Camp, here is some information.

You may lodge anywhere you like during the camp. Ski Granby Ranch offers a variety of lodging, including hotels, motels, condominiums, and B&B’s, at the base of the mountain, the foot of the access road, and in nearby Granby. Other than Base Camp One (see next section), you need to have a car in order to get to and from the mountain.

Ski Granby Ranch is about a 2-2.5 hour drive from Denver International Airport. The drive goes over Berthoud Pass on State Highway 40. You can rent a car at the airport and do all the driving, which gives you the most flexibility; take a shuttle to and from Granby and rent a car there for the week; or take the shuttle and have no rental car.

No Car?
If you will not have a car during camp, then plan to stay at Base Camp One, directly at the base of the mountain. You can eat dinner each night at the Granby Ranch Grille in the base lodge. You will need to manage one ride to the City Market grocery store in order to stock up on breakfast provisions. Post a note on the forum and see if you can share a ride with another camper.

Car Rental in Granby
If you prefer not to drive over Berthoud Pass, you can take a shuttle from the airport to and from Granby, and rent a car there at Avalanche Car Rental, 970-887-3908.

Base Camp One
This deluxe lodge, directly at the foot of the mountain, provides ski-in, ski-out convenience at camp. Campers and coaches have stayed there in previous years and will be there again this season; staying there really adds to the camp group experience. Campers who stay there have an easy time socializing and finding dinner companions. You can walk to the lifts and walk to dinner each night at the Granby Ranch Grille.

Want to share a unit? Post on the forum and see if you can find another camper to share with you.

Other Lodging
Ski Granby Ranch’s web site has links to numerous lodging options...

Last year our “traveling coach” stayed at the Littletree Inn, between Granby Ranch and the town of Granby. It was economical, quiet, and convenient:

Alignment Pre-days
If you are arriving early for camp and wish to have your indoor alignment session done prior to camp, we do have openings at our shop on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 8 & 9. [The shop is directly on your way from the airport to Solvista, but you'll need to have a car to come there.] Please call or e-mail us by mid-January if you wish to schedule a pre-day appointment.

Daily Alignment Sessions
Each afternoon's alignment session will take place in the “8350” Members Club on the second floor of the base lodge. Please bring a pair of loose pants or shorts for your alignment session.

Lift Tickets - Important!
We will have group-rate tickets available through us for camp. We are finalizing the prices, but they are approximately $200/5 days. There should be options for seniors (61-69) and goldens (70+). We are planning that most campers will be getting their lift tickets through us, so please do not purchase any tickets with your lodging. We will post the final rates on the forum and contact you when they are available.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Diana Rogers
V.P., Harb Ski Systems

Jim,

My current contact at Ski Granby Ranch is leaving, so it may be a few weeks. As soon as I get the info, I'll post it.
