Winter Park is found high up in the Rockies sitting on the Continental Divide. The area was originally used for skiing by the railway workers when the Rio Grande railway was built in the 19th Century. Winter Park is a popular ski holiday destination due to it’s reasonable transfer time from Denver, slopeside accommodation and 3000 acres of terrain that suits all abilities.
