Winter Park summary

Winter Park is perfectly positioned next to the Continental Divide, giving it the distinct advantage of being able to catch winter storms from nearly every direction. Western and southern storms get "trapped" by the Divide. Northern and eastern "upslope" storms often spread over the west side of the Divide and add to the snowpack. On average, Winter Park receives 369 inches of snow, annually. Also known as "Colorado's Favorite", Winter Park continues to be voted the number one resort by in-state skiers. Front Range skiers feel a sense of ownership about Winter Park. The resort is owned by the city of Denver, but operated by Intrawest under a 50-year lease. Located closest to the Front Range (67 miles from Denver), it will mark its 65th year of operation this season. The separate areas of Winter Park Resort are all interconnected with trails and lifts. The Jane's bump-studded slopes make her a favorite among mogul fans. The Vasquez Cirque, in a 1,000-acre parcel of heaven located due west of Mary Jane's Parsenn Bowl, stretches north to Vasquez ridge. Disabled skiers with almost any physical or developmental disability can learn to ski alpine or cross-country, snowboard or showshoe at The National Sports Center for Disabled. Accommodation for more than 10,000 people during the ski season including mountain inns, bed and breakfasts, hotels, and condominiums ranging from upscale to budget. Locations are slope-side, downtown Winter Park, and some rooms are tucked away in the forest.

Visitor Reviews of Winter Park


John Crawford from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Just back from a week in Winter Park, after skiing there once before (in 2005).
In short, we had forgotten just how incredible the ski area is!
Fantastic snow conditions (the natives cannot begin to understand the concept of "ice" and refer to hard packed snow as such), no lift queues of more than 5 minutes - even on a UK half-term week/US bank holiday weekend (in fact, no queues at all, midweek) and a largely deserted ski area with challenging bump runs (endless, thigh burners, with the biggest moguls imaginable), incredible skiing in the trees (ranging from steady blues to ferocious - 50 degrees plus - blacks), 50 degree couloirs and chutes plus vertical open faces that you have to hike to. Oh, and lots of great cruising on immaculately groomed pistes in between!
Think I'm raving about it? Well, you'd be right! If you haven't been yet, and like a ski challenge, you can't go wrong with a trip to WP! I've skied several times at numerous resorts in Colorado, Utah, California, Vermont, Wyoming and Canada - and Winter Park is most definitely up there with the best of them!
Although it's a quiet village, in downtown Winter Park there's a wide choice of cheap, good quality restaurants, which suited us fine as we were too exhausted to shuffle around the streets after 9.30 pm... zzzzzzzz.
