I am taking my girlfriend to vail this wedneday-Sunday as a suprise birthday present. I notice they have been getting snow but also know that ski season doesn't open for 2 more weeks. Is there any place i can take her where there will be lots of snow to play in. Are there any mountain tours that are open that might takes us higher in the mountains and give her an opportunity to enjoy seeing snow for the first time

Go mountain biking, the Silver Bullet Train is good, they've also got really great restaurants. There's so much to do there, you'll have a lot of fun.

verify those places... Monarch Crested Butte Wolf Creek (all on the western slope) Arapahoe Basin could be the proper domestically...close to to Denver relies upon on how a approaches you like to commute, and maximum critically, merely who has had snow...
