There's a 2,010 foot vertical drop at Sunlight Mountain Resort and there's often plenty of untracked powder. The best part of a day on the mountain at Sunlight Mountain Resort is splashing down into the hot springs complex in Glenwood.

Visitor Reviews of Sunlight Mountain Resort


Dylan Lewis from UNITED STATES writes:

Sunlight Mountain Resort is a unique winter playground that is affordable and family oriented. Sunlight has hundreds of acres for skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing. Sunlight’s summit on Compass Mountain in the White River National Forest, overlooks majestic Mount Sopris and the awe inspiring Elk Mountain Range. Amenities include a restaurant, lounge, rental and retail shop, ski school, childrens center, and snowmobile tours.

Sunlight (Sunlight Mountain Resort) features 67 named trails covering over 470 acres. In addition to miles of cruising intermediate terrain, Sunlight’s East Ridge has one of the steeper runs in the state. Aptly named, The Heathen falls beneath your feet at a breathtaking 52 degrees. Sunlight is home to one of the longest trails in ski country, Ute, a beginner slope that winds more than 2 miles from summit to base. Sunlight (Sunlight Mountain Resort) also hosts some of the best tree skiing in Colorado with many aspen groves untracked days after snowfall. All trails converge at the base lodge, so friends and family can always keep track of each other.
