Can anyone please give me some recommendations on where to stay and areas to ride in Halfway. It looks like a group of 4-6 of us may be heading down there the last week of January.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks :face-icon-small-hap

When I head there, I stay at either the Halfway hotel or Stockman's and ride out of Clear Creek sno-park (7 miles North of Halfway) on road road 66

Or you can check out Cornucopia lodge, they dropped their rates this year pretty reasonable, all meals inclusive, sled right from your cabin

halfway

how is the riding in the Halfway area? How extreme is it? Is there enough hill for some big turboed sleds and old guys to have fun?

Haven't been there yet this season, but there are some good hills to play on, if the weather isn't sucky.

I would recomend the Cornucopia Lodge. Its a nice place, the lodge and cabins, you can ride right from the cabins and your only a few miles from good stuff, relax in the super comfy lodge and drink they're coffee. But the biggest reason, especially for me, is the food, dude can cook, and its the good stuff. Breakfast, a good sack lunch, and then the dinner.

Ditto that, I like to eat and I could never finish the meals, great food and lots of it. Cabins were nice too.

Cornucopia Lodge is indeed a nice place to stay, but the last time I stayed you had to pack your gas or go back down to where your vehicle is park and fill up and then back up to the lodge and head out, or has that changed now? Breakfast, and dinner is not a choice of meal, you got what they made, one person in our group couldn't have pork and we had pork chops for dinner, so needless to say he was a hungry camper the next day. Sorry to knit pick about the lodge but these's are the down falls that I came across when I was there and I do plan to stay again, but just be more prepared for the stay.
