locals Barb and Scott
Henderson do what they
enjoy most—carving the
slopes of Eldora.
RIGHT: The pair, both
former ski racers, have
traveled the world but
chose to settle down in
tiny Nederland, where
they can see the slopes
of Eldora from their deck.
WHERE TO GO:
GETTING THERE
The closest skiing and snowboarding from
Boulder, Colorado can be found at Eldora
Mountain Resort, about 20 miles up Boulder
Canyon just outside the town of Nederland.
Ride the RTD’s N Route bus from Boulder, which
deposits skiers and riders steps from the resort’s
Alpenglow Chair. In Boulder, catch the bus at
the Transit Center, the Boulder County Justice
Center, or Settler’s Park. Visit rtd-denver.com
for this season’s schedule.
IN TOWN
The quirky town of Nederland couldn’t be a
better home base for Eldora. Stop into Salto,
where owner Karina Luscher roasts coffee
beans in-house to ensure a taste and quality
that’s up to her standards. Take home a bag of
her Salto blend. Crosscut Pizzeria & Taphouse
makes tasty pies made with Colorado-milled
flour and serves wine and beer on tap. Finally,
for $2, take a spin on the Carousel of
Happiness, a restored 1910 carousel.
