Winter Park
Winter Park first opened in 1940, making it one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado (although alot younger than Howelsen, which opened in 1914). The Mary Jane area was added in 1975. And it really is a "park," owned by the City of Denver.
Winter Park Resort is the local's favorite. Year-in and year-out, more Coloradans visit WP than any other ski resort in Colorado. Stands to reason, given that Winter Park is the closest major ski resort to Denver and boasts a combination of great terrain and reliable snowfall.
At Winter Park you can wear your jeans and enjoy the small-town atmosphere surrounded by the open spaces and lofty peaks of the Continental Divide. Off the slopes try snow-shoeing or cross country skiing, take a dinner sleigh ride or snowmobile tour, or do a tube ride down the famous Fraser Tubing Hill.
