For many years, Winter Park has been referred to as Colorado's best kept secret. You may not have heard of it, but Winter Park is the third biggest ski area in Colorado and growing all the time. Winter Park is also the closest major ski resort to Denver and is only a 11/2 hour transfer. The resort receives an amazing average of nearly 370 inches a season - in Euro language that's 10 metres and in anyone's language that's a lot of snow! Winter Park is also the closest major ski resort to Denver, which is only 67 miles away.
This is a resort everyone is talking about, so go now and beat the rush!

Straddling the continental divide at the east end of the Fraser Valley, the area is rich in Western lore and reminders of its pioneer history. Three interconnected mountains create a microclimate, which is responsible for the fantastic snow and variety of terrain. The 30-acre “Discovery Park” is an excellent area for beginners who can learn the fundamentals in a controlled, sectioned-off area. Once up and running, Winter Park offers mile after mile of wide open intermediate slopes which are perfect for laid-back cruising, it's designed to make you feel and look like a pro! For advanced and expert s the pull is the legendary steeps, deeps and moguls of Mary Jane. The locals say “No pain No Jane!” Every standard of gets maximum enjoyment. In a nutshell Winter Park offers everything to make a memorable ski course an outstanding one - great snow, plenty of sunshine, a big, varied ski area and easy accessibility.
