COME TO LIFE Winter Park Express Frisco Frisco makes a great ski-trip home base, especially with Copper Mountain just down the road — a favorite for its high-alpine bowls and long, varied runs. In the afternoon, anglers can venture to the nearby Blue River in Silverthorne for some fly-fishing, where steady water flow keeps trout-filled stretches of water open all winter long. As the sun sets, head to Kemosabe at Silverheels , an American sushi grill known for its lively atmosphere and expertly prepared sashimi and steaks. Winter Park Hop aboard the Winter Park Express train from Denver’s Union Station, which drops you right at the base of Winter Park Resort . Here, two sections offer something for every skier, from beginner-friendly greens on the front side to the exhilarating tree runs of the Mary Jane side. The resort is also home to the National Sport Center for the Disabled , one of the country’s leading adaptive programs. After a day on the slopes, head to A-Frame Club , where retro-inspired cabins, a roaring fireplace and craft cocktails create one of the coziest après scenes in the Rockies. 58 1-800-COLORADO MARC GLUCKSMAN / RIVER RAIL PHOTO
