The Scene – Owned by the city of Denver, Winter Park really is a "park"--and the oldest, continuously operated resort in Colorado. An unpretentious place to cruise (both on the slopes and off), this no-frills resort is loved by locals and visitors alike for its great terrain, reliable snowfall and friendly, small-town feel. Winter Park includes Mary Jane, Vasquez Cirque and Vasquez Ridge. – – The Slopes – Next to the Continental Divide, Winter Park has the distinct advantage of being able to catch winter storms from nearly every direction.

Simply a great experience
by powderhound58
Without question W.P. offers a great variety for the dollar. The timberline lift down through Mary Jane is as solid as it gets!

A buddy and me were there a year ago for a week and W.P. fits in unassumingly with everything in Summit County!
Skiing above the timberline at W.P. is an adventure that just about everyone can experience, including some tree chutes on the way down.
No Pain - No Jane
- Pros: cheap motels, big vertical, good cruisers
- Cons: air fare/SUV $$$ , travel time, interstate traffic

best skiing around
by page6979
i've been skiing for well over 10 years, and i've tried out lots of resorts with my family. we chose winter park beause it is the best value around for some awesome skiing. winter park mountain is awesome for all around skiing and the bowl is great for more advanced skiers. mary jane provides bumps that will knock you off your feet!! vazquez is decent, but has a long flat bottom and can be difficult to get back to winter park. tickets are relatively cheap and i think it's one of the best kept secrets in colorado!!
- Pros: short lines, cheap tickets, lots of mountain
- Cons: smaller town
