Winter Park

Pros: ski schools, personnel, family oriented
Cons: parking

The last 4 times I have been skiing I have been to Winter Park. I have also skied other areas in Colorado. Winter Park has been the best place to ski so far. I believe it is a more family oriented resort. It is still pricey but not as pricey as some...

Pros: great terrain, great snow, fun
Cons: Not much above the timberline skiing

Winter Park is not a very well known famous Colorado ski resort - not like Aspen or Vail or Steamboat. But it is a great place to ski. They have great snow, great trails and an all around great environment.

The snow quality here is great....

Pros: Accommodates anyone and everyone, lots of "extra" activities aside from skiing, variety of terrain, great snow!
Cons: Winter doesn't last all year... but I hear summer at WP is great too!

You read right… I'm one of those lunatic florescent-orange-bib-wearing-blind skiers you see on the slopes of Winter Park… and I love every minute of it. (Thanks to the orange bib, I've only been run over by one person, and that was another blind skier!)...

Pros: short lifts for kids, inexpensive food courts
Cons: early closing hours, parking

Winter Park ski resort, in my opinion, is one of the best places to take a family on a ski trip. I have been to other resorts, and Winter Park is by far the best choice for a family of skiers. My two sons, ages 9 and 6, always enjoy Winter Park...

Pros: Friendly Instructor Excellent Instruction Dedicated Beginners Area
Cons: Lackluster beginners support in rental shop Over-priced drinks and food

Last year, I decided to learn how to snowboard. I wrote about the lack of success here. In May, I moved to Denver, so naturally, I decided to take up snow sports. After many discussions with locals, I decided to try Winter Park, but this time, I would ...

Pros: Great Weather, friendly employees at WPR, excellent skiing, no crowds during week.
Cons: Early sundown, can get bitter cold and windy, crowded on weekends.

I just returned from a great trip to the Winter Park Resort (WPR). It was my first trip to WPR. I went with the intention of learning to snowboard after skiing for over ten years. Weather: The weather was perfect, clear, 30 degrees at base, no ...

Pros: lots of variety, great challenging terrain, easy access from Denver
Cons: lots of flats to traverse to move between different areas of the mountain

I went skiing this year in late March to Winter Park, and had a blast! I was with a large group, and one of the best things about WP was that there was something here for skiers of all levels. The younger kids learned well with the ski school service ...

Pros: Lots of things to do with the family, great weather and beautiful scenery.
Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer.

We spent a week in the Rocky Mountains and chose Winter Park Colorado as our destination. We had always wanted to go to the Rocky Mountains. The whole family had a wonderful time. We went mountain biking, hiking, roller blading, horseback riding and ...

Pros: varied terrain, close to Denver
Cons: can be crowded

As a Colorado native, I can ski any resort whenever I want. My favorite, hands-down, is Winter Park. As a young girl, I learned to ski here and still choose Winter Park as my destination of choice. Why? Because there is a wide variety of terrain...

Pros: great bumps, great and varied terrain, day trip from Denver
Cons: its in colorado and I'm in Minnesota

Winter Park is pretty much one of the best ski areas out there. The terrain is just varied enough so that everyone can get out there and have fun, but yet those who are hankering for a bit more difficult terrain will have more than enough for their...

Pros: it had slopes for everyone
Cons: hard to ski because snow was slushy

Well, my friends and I visited Winter Park in Spring Break of 1999, and it was pretty fun but not as great as I expected. It might have just been the time of year that I went. When I went the snow was very 'slushy' and hard to ski on. Although it was...

Pros: Excellent skiing. Extremely short lift lines.
Cons: Not quite as good slopes as Aspen, etc. & very little nightlife.

Winter Park is by far my favorite place, for skiing specifically, in the United States. It offers excellent skiing and long runs of various difficulties. The snow is fantastic (as with almost all the resorts in Colorado!), and the best attraction is...

Pros: Many varying degrees of easy to difficult runs
Cons: Inefficient crowd management

This is a pretty cool resort. There are many trails with varying degrees of difficulty so that it's easier to try those trails that are just a little bit harder. The ski lifts run smoothly, and all of the staff I have encountered have been very helpful...

Pros: beauty, nice snow, active
Cons: snow turns into water

Ive been to Winterpark CO twice once as a 14 year old skier and then as a 18 year old non skier. I know the best of both worlds. As a young naive teenager i decided to enroll in ski lessons that were being taught by ski instructors. Let me mention i...

Pros: You'll hear great bands you've never heard before
Cons: none

Music and mountains go together like wine and cheese, Ren and Stimpy, shoes and socks. Ever since Julie Andrews belted "the hills are alive..," we have images of children dancing in the grass and clear, vibrant sounds bouncing...
