Intro
Winter Park is the closest major resort to Denver making it an ideal option if you are travelling for just a week, or even longer. The three huge mountains offer diverse terrain for all abilities, from testing bowls to gentle cruisers, and receiving close to 10 metres of snow in an average season a day skiing powder is the norm, not the exception. Winter Park has been a popular American resort for some time but thanks to the new resort village at the base of the slopes it is becoming an increasing popular option for British skiers and snowboarders with more than 50 bars and restaurants split between the ski resort and nearby town.
