Celebrating their 70th anniversary this winter, Winter Park is one of the oldest ski areas in the state of Colorado. And, while it has everything you would expect from an established Colorado ski resort, it also offers one of the state's newest experiences. What was once Denver's mountain playground is now a true destination resort. The past five years have brought tremendous change to Winter Park, yet travelers are still able to benefit from one of the best values in the mountains.

Winter Park has invested more than $40 million over the past five years on both on-mountain and off-mountain improvements. On the mountain you will enjoy three new chairlifts and a cabriolet, award-winning terrain park expansions and terrain improvements. Off the mountain visitors will love The Village at Winter Park, a brand new base area offering new dining, shopping and entertainment experiences.

The best way to take advantage of everything Winter Park has to offer is by staying in the heart of the action. Choose from the premier ski-in/ski-out Zephyr Mountain Lodge or stay close to the lifts at Fraser Crossing / Founders Pointe, Winter Park's newest condominium-style property. The Vintage Hotel delivers on value and, at only a short cabriolet ride to The Village at Winter Park, this affordable location is just two minutes from the lifts. Families should check out the Winter Park Mountain Lodge. It's conveniently located across the road from the resort and guests love their large indoor pool, hot tubs and on-sight microbrewery and restaurant.

Accessing Winter Park's more than 3,000 skiable acres is easy and affordable. After flying into Denver, travelers are only 75 miles away from one of the largest ski areas in Colorado, allowing more time to enjoy the nationally recognized terrain.
