Straddling the Continental Divide, high in the Colorado Rockies, Winter Park has provided Americans with an amazing ski area of three big mountains plus an inviting bowl which they have successfully kept to themselves. But now the secret is out and Winter Park has joined the lengthening ski of Colorado ski resorts sought out by British skiers and boarders. Being the closest major ski area to Denver, Winter Park is an affordable, convenient resort with a choice of over 50 bars or restaurants and offering friendly service combined with the laid back atmosphere of genuine Colorado.
