With over 3,000 acres of skiable terrain stretching across three mountains, Winter Park Resort offers an unforgettable experience for every kind of visitor, whether they come to enjoy the peace and mountains views or are looking for adrenaline-pumping adventure. Averaging over 320 inches of annual snowfall, 300 days of sunshine, and located just 67 miles northwest of Denver, Winter Park Resort is the closest major destination resort to Denver International Airport and a favorite among the Denver locals who call this place their "home mountain." The high altitude combined with good Northern exposure keeps Winter Park's snow cold, light, and ideal for skiers and snowboarders. The resort has the powder, the vertical and the adventure for an epic skiing experience.
With over 75 years of history, Winter Park Resort is Colorado's longest continually operated ski resort, featuring seven territories across thousands of acres of award-winning terrain. From groomers to black diamonds in the Winter Park Territory; world-class glade skiing in the Eagle Wind Territory; panoramic bowl skiing/riding in the Parsenn Bowl Territory; jumps and jibs in the Terrain Park Territory; off-the-beaten-path powder stashes in the Vasquez Ridge Territory; steeps and deeps in the Cirque Territory; to the world-famous bumps in Mary Jane Territory, there is truly something for everyone at Winter Park Resort.
The Towns of Winter Park and Fraser, located in Grand County, Colorado, are situated in a high mountain park at elevations of 9,000 and 8,800 feet. The Town of Winter Park is 7.5 square miles, including the base village of Winter Park Resort. The town and ski area have long been popular with Denver Metro residents, though the region is quickly becoming a four-season vacation destination.

Approximately 3/4 of the land in Grand County is publicly owned, allowing for some fantastic hiking and biking in the summer, and excellent snowshoeing and back country skiing in the winter season. The nearby Rocky Mountain National Park sets aside 265,727 acres of natural land and wildlife habitat for the public to enjoy.
Winter Park is home to a community of explorers and adrenaline junkies; sight seers and nature lovers; lifelong skiers and fly fishing fanatics; mountain bikers and peak hikers.
