Winter Park
Enjoy the finest accomodations, cuisine and activities
It's the closest major destination resort to Denver International Airport. Even Amtrak and Greyhound can get you there. If you're driving, be sure to check the weather at Berthoud Pass - it can be blowing snow while Denver is dry.
Avoid heavy traffic and you'll be at the slopes in only an hour after you leave Denver. Plan your vacation online and ski all three nearby mountains with one lift ticket - Winter Park, Mary Jane and Vasquez Ridge. While you're on the web, snag yourself some great discounts on flights, hotels, ski rentals, and 101 other ways to play in the snow - boarding, snowmobiling, sleigh riding, ATVs and horseback riding. You can even get your groceries delivered before you arrive.
A far cry from its classic skiing roots in the 1920s and 40s, Winter Park Mountain is now replete with brand new lodges, restaurants, condos and lifts. No matter your skill level, there's enough downhill here to try different routes for a week. Discover the breathtaking view from the open-air gondola over the village and get wild snow tubing at night. Vasquez Ridge offers acres of intermediate terrain and fantastic mogul runs. Want to get your family started with skiing? Learn from the nation’s top-voted ski and ride schools here.
Skiing Magazine ranks Mary Jane the number one mogul skiing spot in North America. The Olympic US Mogul Freestyle Team has trained on these phenomenal bumps for the past 14 years. Known for its tree skiing, hidden huts and challenging terrain, Mary Jane's view above tree line at the Parsenn Bowl is just indescribable.
Sink into the lodge's hot tub after a day in the cold or indulge in the fabulous outdoor hot springs. Arrive in the summer for the alpine slide and one of the newest mountain sports - bike skiing. Sample the Cajun seafood, traditional German Jagerschnitzel, steak Diane and Rocky Mountain trout. While you're in the valley, be sure to check out the climbing wall, hit the miles of mountain biking trails or play 27 holes of Colorado mountain golf on the three distinct courses. Summer or winter, this mountain playground is rising to the top of America's must-visit places.
