The former railroad center of WINTER PARK, 67 miles northwest
of Denver, may not be Colorado's trendiest resort, but its wide,
ever-expanding variety of ski and bike terrain, friendly atmosphere
and good-value lodgings draw over one million visitors a year. As
the only publicly owned resort in the state, it has great facilities
for kids and disabled skiers and the 200-acre Discovery Park,
an excellent, economical area for beginners. Experienced skiers, in
turn, relish the mogul runs on the awesome Mary Jane Mountain, the fluffy snows of the Parsenn Bowl, and the backcountry idyll of
Vasquez Cirque .
In
addition to skiing, you can snowmobile the Continental Divide
on a one-hour tour with Trailblazers in Fraser; phone
970/726-8452), or around a 25-mile course at Mountain Madness; phone 970/726-4529), just north of town.

Summer
visitors can enjoy six hundred miles of mountain bike trails,
some of the best of which are accessible from the chair-lift ($21
for an adult day bike pass), in addition to the super-fun
mile-and-a-half-long Alpine Slide ($6) and several
contemporary music Festivals.
