Go as far as County Road 107 allows out of Allenspark. Take the road on the right as it switches back a few times. It might be kind of bare down here, but it's sure to be deeper a bit further up. Follow the Saint Vrain Mountain Trail as far as you want to go, and descend back down through the fun trees. You could descend from St. Vrain Mountain, but it's often wind-blown crud.
Difficulty
Easy
Wide gentle slopes at around 20 degrees or less.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
