Skiing Winter Park Resort

The conditions at Winter Park Resort are awesome. I skied today and got to ride the new 6 pack chairlift servicing Parsenn Bowl. For a Sunday the lift lines were fairly short and the slopes uncrowded. It was my first time skiing Mary Jane and I loved the bumps. The scenery is spectacular up there.

Be sure to get up to Winter Park and spend a week to ensure you ski every trail; there's over 140 of them. With all the snow we received in the last week, the coverage is great.

Call us today to book your ski week in a wonderful mountain vacation home; hope to be seeing you soon. http://www.mtnlodging.com/ or email info@mtnlodging.com
