Discounted Lift Tickets for Winter Park Ski Resort

Great news for skiers and snowboarders looking for deals on Winter Park Resort lift tickets! Winter Park Lodging Company will have great money-saving coupons on the very expensive lift tickets at Winter Park Resort Ski Area for the upcoming winter season. Winter Park Resort charged $92 per adult and $48 per child for a one day lift ticket last season, even during off-peak dates. What? Who can afford that?

So, stay at a plush condo or home with Winter Park Lodging Company and save over $40 per adult and $15 per child on each lift ticket you buy. Let’s say you have four adults and six kids in your group and want to ski for 4 days. That would amount to a total savings of $1000. That’s enough money to upgrade from the tiny hotel run by Joe Schmoe to a beautiful home or condo in Winter Park - complete with the amazing guest service of Winter Park Lodging Company.

Try out Winter Parks Best Hot Dog at the Cosmic Dog!

Located in downtown Winter Park next to the Gausthaus Eichler, the Cosmic Dog is a delicious and affordable new addition to your summertime lunch options. The bright colored vendor stand specializes in a variety of hot dogs (beef, pork, chicken and veggie) that are first steamed and then put on the grill for that yummy finishing touch. Being ladies who can appreciate a quality hot dog, Amy and I went to check it out the other day. We both went with the “meal deal” which includes your choice of dog, side, and drink for $6.50. As the beef franks went on the grill, we chose our sides from three options of chips, curry potato salad or homemade coleslaw. Last but not least was my personal favorite, the lengthy condoment station stocked with an array of peppers, onions, slaw, sauces and more. Topped off with an ice cold soda, we enjoyed our meal in the sun, at one of the picnic tables provided. Fernand, the owner of Cosmic Dog (see above) was very gracious and also gives out punch cards that will get you a free dog after purchasing five.

Fresh Catch with Grand County Fly Fishers

Grand County Fly Fishing Company has teamed up with Winter Park Lodging by Owner for guest disounts on guided fly fishing trips. I just met with co-owner Jeff Ehlert at a networking event through the Chamber of Commerce, and they have convinced me that I would choose no other fly fishing outfitter. Their guides have decades of experience, all of them practically born with a fly rod in their hands, and have the patience needed to help you have an enjoyable and stress-free experience. They’ll help you find the best water and choose the best bait as well, guidance that can prevent a lot of frustration for unexperienced anglers. Plus, not only can they take you to world-class sites on the Colorado River, North Platte River and Rocky Mtn National Park waters, they have four miles of exclusive access to the Fraser River.

Here is an excerpt from their website on the benefits of fishing the private access of the Fraser River -

“The public water in and around Grand County is spectacular, but sometimes you just want a stream all to yourself. We have miles of private water on the Fraser River where you can find the solitude that you’ve dreamed about. In contrast to the private water trend, we manage our water for wild trout. You won’t find pasty, pellet fed, finless trout that fight like a wet towel here. This is what fly fishing was meant to be.”

Guests of Winter Park Lodging by Owner save 10% on all guided trips. That is savings from from $20 to $65, depending on what type of guided fly fishing trip you choose. There are wade or float trips ranging from 4to 8 hours and lunch and snacks are included in the 6 to 8 hour trips. If you just want to go out on your own, they also have equipment for rent. They are located in Fraser next to the Ski Broker and Valley Board and Bike shop, across Hwy 40 from Safeway. Call 970-726-5231 for reservation and information or go to their website.
