If you are a potential skier planning a ski vacation look no further than Winter Park Resort in the state of Colorado. Yes there are all sorts of well-known resorts here in Colorado that are house hold names throughout the United States, but these popular resorts are beset with crowded ski runs and lift lines. Which is precisely why Winter Park Resort is Colorados Favorite. Coloradoans frequent this ski resort more than any other resort in the state, as it is one of the biggest resorts, with the most snowfall and the fewest tourists. It doesn't hurt that it is only 67 miles from Denver.
Winter Park Resort also contains the notorious Mary Jane. Mary Jane has been rated among the top 5 resorts in North America to bump ski by Snow Country Magazine. It is not for the faint of heart, as there are no green runs anywhere on the Jane.
Parsons Bowl takes you above the cloud level and the treetop line. The bowl offers intermediate and expert ski runs, and just so happens to be a favorite among locals. Once you are at the top you will be grabbing for your camera, and a warming lodge.
Ski Magazine ranks Winter Park Resort's terrain parks & pipes among the top 10 in the nation. The Railyard is Colorado's longest terrain park and covers 15 acres on a 3,650 foot rail-grinding spectacle. Then there is the Jack Kendrick for beginners of the sport, with wider rails and easy jumps to enable progress to the next step.
There are plenty of great restaurants and bars on the mountain, and as with the lines at the lifts, never are crowds an issue. You can also venture into the actual town of Winter Park when the lifts shut down. It is a little small stretch of restaurants, bars and shops. There is actually a very good sushi bar in town that is not likely to surprise folks with its good food and reasonable prices.
Finish out the day with a trip to the Fraser lighted tubing hill. They provide the lift, warming hut and the tubes. And if you're in the mood for a day on the sidelines of the slopes, you can go on a snowmobile tour up to the Continental Divide summit, or go low down right old fashioned and ride along on a dog sled.
