Winter Park


"Winter Park has plenty of sunny days, plenty of powder and a laid back attitude. With amazing moguls on the Mary Jane side and groomers for all levels on the Winter Park side, the resort is small but has something for everyone."

Michelle Summerfield - Winter Park Fan 

Resort

Winter Park is the closest Resort to Denver International Airport just 90miles away and a 1.5hr -2 hr drive a popular Resort for Denverites as it is so close to Denver.

The atmosphere in Winter Park is very easy going with most of the accommodation tucked away off the highway in the woodlands around the town. Recent developments of Fraser Crossing and Founders Pointe have now seen condominiums built at The Village at Winter Park Resort giving perfect slope side access along with the Zephyr Mountain Lodge with its ski in ski out location, shops and restaurants on the lower floor.The layout of Winter Park has two separate bases being Winter Park Village and Mary Jane with the town located a few miles down the road.

The town still has a raw,friendly local feel to it reminiscent of the old rail way days.In the 1900’s when Moffat Tunnel was opened this allowed hardy skiers to take the train and stay in old shacks that were built for the railroad crews. Today the tooting of the train rings out through the town of Winter Park and the Snow Train delivers eager skiers and boarders to the slopes.

You can catch the Ski Train...to or from Winter Park - we can book this for you. It is only US$ 59 per adult.....a great way to return to Denver after your ski holiday at Winter Park.
