Offering over 3,000 acres of diverse terrain, Winter Park Resort has evolved into a premier destination, catering to both casual skiers and seasoned adventurers alike. Divided into two main ski areas, Winter Park and Mary Jane, visitors can experience a range of trails catering to all skill levels. Winter Park boasts beginner-friendly terrain, while Mary Jane offers long, steep runs and challenging mogul fields, earning a reputation as a haven for tree skiing enthusiasts.

Beyond the slopes, Winter Park's terrain parks provide thrills for freestyle enthusiasts, boasting meticulously maintained features suitable for all skill levels.

For those seeking a more serene experience, Parsenn Bowl beckons with its expansive alpine bowls, offering panoramic views and wide-open skiing.

Winter Park offers a range of lodging options to suit various preferences, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for all visitors. The Village at Winter Park, situated at the base of the resort, provides an ideal setting for families seeking ski-in/ski-out convenience. Boasting a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and accommodations, guests can choose from lodgings offering direct slope access or those requiring a short walk or transport via the open-air cabriolet lift. The village's recent expansion has introduced additional charming shops and dining establishments, further enhancing the overall guest experience and reinforcing Winter Park's family-friendly atmosphere.

Whether guests prefer to stay slopeside or in the nearby town of Fraser, Winter Park lodging options fit every budget and preference. From cozy studio condos to spacious houses, there are options available for solo travelers, couples, and families alike. Those looking to save on lodging costs can opt for accommodations in Fraser, which offer quality lodging at a fraction of the cost compared to staying on the mountain. Despite being further away from the resort, Fraser provides easy access to Winter Park via The Lift, a free transit service operating year-round between Winter Park Resort, Downtown Winter Park, and Fraser. This convenient transportation option ensures that guests can easily navigate between their lodging and the resort, maximizing their enjoyment of all that Winter Park has to offer.

For visitors acclimating to the altitude, Winter Park's elevation presents a unique challenge. With less oxygen at higher elevations, altitude sickness can affect even the most seasoned travelers. To mitigate its effects, staying hydrated and taking frequent breaks are essential. Additionally, newcomers to the area are encouraged to acclimate slowly and refrain from strenuous activities upon arrival, ensuring a safe and enjoyable mountain experience. As Winter Park continues to evolve, its commitment to providing exceptional skiing and lodging experiences remains steadfast, inviting guests to embrace the tranquility and beauty of this Rocky Mountain retreat.
