Winter Park Ski Resort
Take a minute to catch your breath. The view is stunning. The mountain is nearly unbelievable, we can’t even begin to describe the snow. But with 3,060 acres/1238 hectares of trees, bumps and groomers – all winding their way through sun and snow, you won’t want the days to end. When you finally drag yourself off the slopes you’ll find the town welcoming and the people warm.
You’ll also find plenty to do that doesn’t require a lift ticket in this winter wonderland. With restaurants, shopping, tubing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and more, you could have a new adventure every day for weeks. Or not. Sometimes it’s just as nice to curl up by the fire and watch the snowflakes quietly press themselves against the window.
