Winter Park Resort: rent in Idaho Springs, ski the mountain
Winter Park covers more than 3,000 acres and has a reputation for moguls, bowls and groomed runs that suit almost any skier. Mary Jane is the territory people come for: bump runs, trees and steeps that stay interesting all season.
Beginners are not left out. Winter Park keeps dedicated learning areas and long groomers for first-timers, and the resort is a good choice for a family with mixed abilities.
The drive is the part to plan. You leave I-70 and climb US-40 over Berthoud Pass, which is beautiful and occasionally slow. Leaving Idaho Springs early with gear already fitted buys you time on the hill instead of in a rental queue.
- Performance skis from $45 for Mary Jane's bumps
- Demo skis from $55 to test a wider ski for the bowls
- Kids' packages from $25 with a helmet included
- Multi-day rentals earn free days for long weekends
