Winter Park - Information
Winter Park is the closest major ski resort to Denver. It is located close to the continental divide and enjoys one of the highest snowfalls in Colorado. With so much snow and nearly 3,000 acres of terrain, Winter park offers something for everyone. The ski area spreads across 3 inter-connected mountains: Winter Park, Mary Jane and 12th Vasquez Ridge. The town of Winter Park and its nearby neighbour, Fraser, have lively bars as well as a great choice of restaurants and shopping. A short distance away is Berthoud Pass with 1,000 acres of challenging, off-piste terrain for advanced skiers (requires separate lift pass purchased locally).With nearly 3,000 acres over three peaks, this is Colorado’s third biggest ski area. Parsenn Bowl provides a huge expanse of above-treeline skiing heading down into pretty glades, all accessible via the new Treeline lift, which reaches a giddy 12,060ft and gives spectacular views. Vasquez Cirque offers some of the most challenging terrain.
