State COLORADO WINTER PARK (regional info) > Tourism & Travel Guide: Winter Park BEST WESTERN ALPENGLO LODGE THE VINTAGE RESORT The former railroad center of WINTER PARK , 67 miles northwest of Denver, may not be Colorado's trendiest resort, but its wide, ever-expanding variety of ski and bike terrain, friendly atmosphere and good-value lodgings draw over one million visitors a year. As the only publicly owned resort in the state, it has great facilities for kids and disabled skiers - and the 200-acre Discovery Park , an excellent, economical area for beginners. Experienced skiers, in turn, relish the mogul runs on the awesome Mary Jane Mountain , the fluffy snows of the Parsenn Bowl, and the backcountry idyll of Vasquez Cirque . In addition to skiing, you can snowmobile the Continental Divide on a one-hour tour with Trailblazers in Fraser (tel 970/726-8452), or around a 25-mile course at Mountain Madness (tel 970/726-4529), just north of town. Summer visitors can enjoy six hundred miles of mountain bike trails, some of the best of which are accessible from the chair-lift, in addition to the super-fun mile-and-a-half-long Alpine Slide and several contemporary music festivals.
