We have regular summer guests that come to Winter Park from Arizona to escape the intense 120 degree heat. If you live in Arizona, check out the airfare deals from Phoenix and Yuma, where there are cheap flights into Denver International for under $150 round trip, or from Prescott for just over $200.
You don’t have to live in the heat of Arizona to enjoy the spectacular summers of Winter Park. Temperatures in Winter Park rarely get past 80 degrees and there is no humidity, which makes for perfect weather for hiking, mountain biking, golf and so many more summer activities in Winter Park and Grand County.

There is a section of deals that I left out about lodging, for obvious reasons. However, Winter Park Lodging Company will match any published offer that any other Winter Park Vacation Rental Company is offering. Mind you, this needs to be on comparable accommodations and comparable times.

Colorado Ski Deals
The recession has officially knocked the ski industry back on it’s heels and now is the time to get some skiing and lodging deals. This is from a Denver Post article about deals that ski resorts are offering to get guests back up to the hills in numbers like the 2007/08 ski season.
Vail Resorts is actually selling the idea that now that the economy is in the dumps they will give you a hamburger that is now a deal for the $8.75 to $11.00 that you were paying last year and the years before. Well, before this economic crash we deserved to eat a sub par, expensive hamburger while skiing on crowded slopes. Thank you Vail for now treating us with a little more dignity now that no one wants to buy your overpriced food.
I have a better idea than going back to the still overpriced burger. Come up to Winter Park Resort and save money on lift tickets, restaurants/bars , activities and don’t reward those that were overcharging and under serving in the first place. Winter Park is Colorado’s favorite. If you want to splurge on lodging, skiing, dining it is all here to do that. If you would like to save some money and ski the most snow at any of the Colorado destination resorts then Winter Park is also your place!
Winter Park Lodging Company will try to save each and every guest as much money as it can on your Colorado ski vacation. That is how we have done it last year and the year before and the year before that. Check out our discounts page and see how much we can save you on your ski trip. Snowmobiling, dog sled ride, horse drawn sleigh rides and restaurant discounts are all here.
Our Winter Park lodging selection is large and our service can not be matched! And we will not tell you that we sold you an over priced, sub-quality burger next year.
Fall is upon us and there are still quite a few fun activities to check out during October. Here are some highlights…
October 9-10: 24th Annual Ski Swap. Come on down to West Portal Station to get huge discounts on new and used ski gear and outerwear for the whole family. The swap is a primary fundraiser for the Winter Park Competition Center and scholarship funds, so help the cause! For more info, call 970-726-1590
October 15: Scary Movie Night @ the Fraser Library- “Children of the Corn”. Be prepared to get spooked- show starts at 6pm. For info call 970-726-5689
October 28: Showing of Warren Miller’s Dynasty. Head to Winter Parks Silver Screen Cinemas to check out the best in the ski movie biz. Showings at 6 and 9pm. Contact 970-726-5390 for more details.
October 31: Cooper Creek is hosting the 9th annual Trick or Treat Street and Haunted House. From 4-7pm, come out with the kids for some spooky family fun! Here are a few of the activities planned-
- trick or treating througout the mall

- free spooky supper at Moe’s
- Scarecrow scare-off contest announced at Moe’s at 7pm
