Winter Park Area:
Long a quiet hidden secret, Winter Park is the last ski resort area in Colorado to be developed. Winter Park has two ski areas: Mary Jane and Winter Park, home to Intrawest’s ski resort. Long before Winter Park became a world class mountain resort and venue for both winter and summer activities, it was famous as a silver mining town, and boasts a lively and colorful past. Remnants of the mining past dot the surrounding area.
Winter sports - Skiing, snowboarding, tubing, snowmobiles, ice fishing
Summertime Activities & Cool Mountain Air:
In the summertime many front range residents visit the town to escape high temperatures since Winter Park is usually 20°F (6°C) cooler, being that Denver sits about 5,280 feet above sea level and Winter Park is above 9,000 feet.
Winter Park is a very community-oriented place. Many events are scheduled year-round, such as mountain bike racing series, golf classics, 5 mile run/walks, Blues festival, Annual Alpine Art Festival, Fraser River Days and Lumberjack Show, music festivals, rodeos, folk and holiday festivals, concerts in the park, bicycle and foot races.
