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.
Ski information

Nightlife
Nightlife in Winter Park is fairly casual during the week but does liven up at the weekend when the locals come up • for an après ski drink then Lime is always a good shout, with happy hour drinks you can’t go wrong • Club Car on Mary Jayne and Cheeky Monk within the ski village are also good places to head • Ullers is a great bar for live music and cheap drinks • in the town of Winter Park you find some friendly and inexpensive American bars which are full of character - Deno’s is one of our favourites and there's a bowling alley and cinema too
Activities
· Dog sledding · Snowshoeing · Sleigh rides · Inner tubing · Ice skating · Snowmobiling · Cross-country skiing · Hot sulphur springs · Day at Sol Vista · Berthoud Pass for a backcountry paradise
Eating out
Winter Parks ski resort village has some quirky restaurant whereas its town has more traditional American places to eat • in Winter Park ski village our favourites are the good Mexican food at Lime, Cheeky Monk offers a bit of the Alps in the Rockies and if you are after quick and easy then Goodys is brilliant! • in the town of Winter Park there is a wider choice with Hernando’s pizza being a local institution and Deno’s does great American fare, but there are lots of grills and pubs here – even fast food if you really want to get in the American spirit!
