Colorado Ski Resorts | COME TO LIFE amenities are moments away — because they’re all hidden behind a soaring mountain ridge. A quick gondola ride ferries you to skiing and riding bliss. VAIL Vail sets the standard for ski resorts in North America, and the bar is only getting higher. With seven back bowls, 195 trails and a staggering 5,317 skiable acres, it’s one of the nation’s largest resorts. And don’t forget Vail’s luxury accommodations, shopping, dining and seemingly endless off-slope activities. WINTER PARK Winter Park boasts diverse terrain, deep snow, and top-notch lodging and dining. For a bumpy ride, Winter Park is your destination. The resort’s fancy new high-speed gondola will get skiers onto the powder quicker than ever. Hop on the Winter Park Express train at Denver’s Union Station, which runs right to the Winter Park base area. WOLF CREEK Famous for the most snow of any Colorado resort, Pagosa Springs’ Wolf Creek sees an astounding annual average of 430 natural inches for powder floaters. Feel good bonus: It’s the country’s first ski destination to run entirely on renewable energy. JENNY STILLO. CRESTED BUTTE MOUNTAIN RESORT COLORADO . COM 19
