Winter Park Home Loans & Mortgage Services
Life in Winter Park, Colorado
Winter Park is Colorado's most accessible major ski resort — and its most unpretentious. Just 67 miles from Denver through the Moffat Tunnel, Winter Park offers 3,081 acres of skiing with some of the most consistent snow in the state. The resort is city-owned (by Denver), giving it a community-first ethos rare among major ski areas. The base village has grown into a lively gathering spot with restaurants, shops, and live music, while the town of Winter Park along US-40 retains its friendly, laid-back character. The Fraser Valley's wide-open spaces provide stunning mountain views without the crowded feel of other resort towns. Summer transforms the area into a mountain biking mecca — the Trestle Bike Park is among the best in North America. The Winter Park Express Amtrak train offers a car-free ski trip from Denver's Union Station, making this one of the few resorts genuinely accessible by train.
- 3,081 acres of skiable terrain
