Tips for Skiing at Winter Park:

  1. Drink a lot of water prior to arriving
  2. Book your ski rental in advance for the best deals
  3. Book your lift tickets early for the best rates
  4. If you are flying, try to get a flight that gets you into Denver by noon, so you can see the beautiful scenery on the way to Winter Park.
  5. Don’t forget your sunglasses, Colorado has over 300 days of sun and there is 50% more ultraviolet radiation at 10,000 feet elevation.
  6. Bring sunscreen and apply a few times throughout the day; even if it’s cloudy.
  7. Don’t forget the lip balm

This weekend has been a busy with President’s Day visitors. Great snow, great temperatures, and great fun for all the families and visitors to the Winter Park Fraser Valley for skiing, snowmobiling, tubing, and sleigh rides.

I just did the math and there are 27 days of Winter left and then spring skiing begins on March 20th.
There are 62 days left to ski and ride Winter Park Resort and 41 days of skiing and riding left at SolVista Basin in Granby.

There is still time to have fun this winter in Grand County and to stay in the best lodging available. Come enjoy the snow and all the fun activities surrounding your vacation rental including skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and snowmobiling.

Go on a sleigh ride, tube, go ice fishing for the day, take a snowshoe tour of the Fraser Experimental Forest – then stay in a vacation home rental or condo with Destinations West.
