Winter Park, Colorado

Perfectly positioned next to the Continental Divide, Winter Park, Colorado has the distinct advantage of being able to catch winter storms from nearly every direction. Western and southern storms get "trapped" by the Divide. Northern and eastern "upslope" storms often spread over the west side of the Divide and add to the snowpack. On average, Winter Park, Colorado receives 369 inches of snow annually. Also known as "Colorado's Favorite", Winter Park continues to be voted the number one resort by in-state skiers. Front Range skiers feel a sense of ownership about Winter Park, Colorado.

The resort sits the closest to the Front Range (67 miles from Denver). The separate areas of Winter Park Resort and Mary Jane are all interconnected with trails and lifts. The Jane's bump-studded slopes make her a favorite among mogul fans. The Vasquez Cirque, in a 1,000-acre parcel of heaven located due west of Mary Jane's Parsenn Bowl, stretches north to Vasquez ridge. Disabled skiers with almost any physical or developmental disability can learn to alpine, cross country, snowboard or showshoe at The National Sports Center for Disabled.
