The oldest resort in Colorado, Winter Park, has had a reputation for fantastic skiing and the most consistent snow year after year - but not for a happening village at the base. Most of the bars, restaurants, and shops have always been in the town of Winter Park, just a couple of miles down the road. The town itself continues to thrive, but now travelers to Winter Park have the added benefit of a developing village at the base of the resort as well.
Having been bought by Intrawest, millions have been invested to turn Winter Park Resort into a true destination ski area. The new 'village at Winter Park Resort' consists of 30,000 square feet of additional shops, restaurants, and high-end living areas, adjacent to the already popular and only true ski-in ski-out accommodation of Zephyr Mountain Lodge.
Restaurants planned for this year include Cheeky Monkey, a Belgian bistro specializing in Belgian beer, Lime Mexican restaurant, and a family Italian eatery. Fuzzywig candy store and a T-shirt shop are just two of the new shops added to the village this year. |
