  • New Additions in Colorado Ski Country Winter 2019-20 Investment, Enhancement and Transformation Continue
    New Additions in Colorado Ski Country Winter 2019-20 Investment, Enhancement and Transformation Continue Colorado Ski Country USA member ski areas are in the midst of a transformative period of investment over the last two years. Since 2018, Colorado ski areas small, medium and large have added 11 new chairlifts to whisk skiers and riders up the mountain more quickly and efficiently, four new lodging offerings, 10 new dining options and other facility and program upgrades. New Lifts and New Terrain • Cooper will have a new lift on the east-facing slopes and new terrain. The Way Back lift will serve 70 acres of new, mostly double black diamond gladed or tree skiing including 5 new runs. • Copper Mountain will welcome 273 acres of expert terrain on Tucker Mountain with the new Three Bears chairlift, which tops out at 12,421 ft. This three-person fixed grip lift will access terrain that was previously accessible via snowcat or hiking only. The lift will come complete with a ski patrol warming hut at the summit and bathrooms at the base. • Winter Park Resort’s new 6-person Sunnyside chair will replace the original 3-person fixed grip chair. The $6 million upgrade will reduce the ride time from eight minutes to under four. This will greatly reduce lift lines at this popular resort location. • Steamboat Resort is replacing the gondola after over 30 years. This will increase capacity by nearly 40 percent, reducing ride time from 12 minutes to 10 and increasing guest ease with gondola cabins flush to the ground allowing riders to walk straight on as opposed to stepping up into the cabin.

  • Winter Park Resort by Kaley Freeman
    Freeman 1 Kaley Freeman Instructor’s Name ENGL 1013 Date Winter Park Resort Picture a quaint, friendly town filled with cheerful skiers and snowboarders nestled deep in snow-covered mountains. Pine trees sparsely decorate the winding road all the way up to the tree line, and wildlife roam freely on the mountainside. Cozy mom-and-pop shops fill the town, and there isn’t a chain restaurant in sight. This is Winter Park, Colorado, the happiest place on Earth. Winter Park offers a wide variety of delectable scents and flavors. Vendors line the sidewalks, strategically opening their doors to let the mouthwatering aromas entice famished visitors. Rich hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon can be purchased at every store. Deeply inhaling will reward hungry tourists with smells of fresh waffles covered in warm syrup and the most mouthwatering pizza that has ever existed, courtesy of the Pizza Pedal’r. After another sniff, one can enjoy the aroma of fresh bread that is baked with every herb and cheese imaginable. Each loaf of bread has been carefully crafted to perfectly complement a large bowl of hot soup. If one inhales once more, he or she will take in what seems to be the tangy scent of a skunk, but that’s no skunk; it’s marijuana. It is lucky that in Colorado that marijuana is legal to use recreationally as well as medically because by the end of the day, most of these visitors will be in agony from falling on the slopes and will need some form of pain relief.
