Skiing Winter Park Mountain in Colorado

Winter Park Ski Resort is located north of I-70, just under a 2 hour drive from Denver! This resort is known for its Mary Jane side of the mountain with panoramic views and epic terrain. However, this mountain also has an impressive beginner side of the mountain for first timers. If I were learning to ski/snowboard for the first time, this would be my top choice. They have an entire side of the mountain dedicated to bunny hills and tons of green runs to improve upon! Overall, this mountain is so much fun and has terrain for all levels! In this guide you will find everything you need to know about Winter Park including lift tickets, parking, where to stay, where to rent gear, and trail specs. Happy Shredding!
