Winter Park offers some of the best skiing in the States at a great price, and is really easy to get to - just a 1.5 hour transfer from Denver. Colorado is known for getting huge snow falls of the lightest powder, and Winter Park is no exception receiving close to ten meters in an average season. It’s one of the largest ski resorts too with a great range of slopes from excellent cruisers to some great back bowls, whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro there is something here for you. The new village at the base of the slopes has a handful of restaurants and bars, plus some very good value accommodation. You’ll want to head into the town of Winter Park on some nights, just 5 mins from the ski resort, to experience a real American town.

Eating out
Winter Parks ski resort village has some quirky restaurant whereas its town has more traditional American places to eat • in Winter Park ski village our favourites are the good Mexican food at Lime, Cheeky Monk offers a bit of the Alps in the Rockies and if you are after quick and easy then Goodys is brilliant! • in the town of Winter Park there is a wider choice with Hernando’s pizza being a local institution and Deno’s does great American fare, but there are lots of grills and pubs here – even fast food if you really want to get in the American spirit!
