Skiing: Although,
downhill skiing is some of the best in the country for
any ability at Winter Park Ski Resort, Berthoud Pass offers
legendary free-riding terrain on the Continental Divide
(12,240 ft) with wider runs and no crowds. Berthoud receives
a total average snowfall of 500" and has 1,200 skiable
trails. Sol Vista Golf & Ski Resort is a favorite
for families with an average total snowfall of 220"
ft on 33 skiable trails. If ski areas aren't your thing
then it's time to trek to some of our many Nordic ski
areas and Cross-Country ski at Snow Mountian Ranch/YMCA
of the Rockies, Grand Lake Touring Center, Devil's Thumb
Ranch and Sol Vista.
Snowmobiling:
A snowmobiler's haven can be found in Grand County with
plenty of snowmobile tracks to be seen. The Grand Lake
area has 300 miles of trails, of which 150 are groomed.
If you're ready for a thrill, head into the hills for
stunning wilderness scenery. Winter Park has great snowmobiling
too. Take a guided, or depending on your level of experience,
an unguided tour up to the Corona Bowl or the Continental
Divide and enjoy spectacular picturesque views of the
valley.
Snowshoeing:
For and adventurous spirit strap on some snowshoes and
trek into the backcountry and discover a new path all
of your own. The Arapaho National Forest or Rocky Mountain
National Park are great places to snowshoe. |
