Full review

So I must start by saying I was first at Winter Park in March 2003 (same week the war started). If you know what happend that week (6ft of snow in two days) you will understand why I loved my time at this mountain. Beyond that great memory I think the mountain is very compairable to other resorts in Colorado (Beaver Creek). Lots of terrain, lots of off mountain activities, and lots of lifts. The worst and best part about winter park is that lots of people come from Denver to ski, which means the city of Winter Park and Frasier are rather quiet because most people only stay for the day. But the slopes are busy because all the Denveriets crowd the place. Like I say about any Colorado resort, I love to ski there but will never live there.
