About the Resort Update This Info
Sprawled across four mountains with nearly
3,000 acres, Winter Park features some of
the best skiing in Colorado. Winter Park
averages 349 inches of snowfall annually,
more than any other major Colorado resort.
The Winter Park Mountain features everything
from groomed trails for beginners to steeps
and bumps for the expert. Skiing Magazine
ranks Mary Jane, the wilder side of the mountain,
#1 in bumps while Vasquez Cirque takes riders
above tree line to steep pitches and untouched
powder.
Winter Park Resort is one of the largest
and most frequently visited ski resorts in
the United States. It is also the closest
major resort to Denver, just 90 minutes from
downtown. Winter Park is family-friendly
and affordable, which is why year after year
the resort proudly reclaims its title as
“Colorado’s Favorite.”
