I hope you brought your swimming trunks. I'm amazed at how inexpensive Winter Park is and the availability of hotels. It seems if you go midweek nonholiday there is absolutely positively no reason to book a nonrefundable reservation. I learned my lesson the hard way.. If it snows a lot I might do 3 days at Winter Park and 1 day at Copper. Dont want to drive in the snow unless I have to. Want to do Copper because it's by the Eisenhower Tunnel which I've always thought is very cool. Edited February 4, 2019 by saltyant Quote

When's your first day at Jackson Hole? No stoke thread? Maybe I'll drive up one day to do a run with you. It's only 7 hours and 40 minutes away. Edited February 4, 2019 by saltyant Quote
Barb Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Winter Park has a lot of fun terrain. You could definitely spend 3 days there. They don’t groom much. Mid week should be pretty empty. Enjoy! 1 1 Quote

saltyant Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Posted February 5, 2019 Well looks like I made it. My RTMs are in the background. Made sure to lock them up since they're the most popular ski in Winter Park. Lots of fresh perder, 2 or 3 inches dumped overnight. I was complaining the whole time cleaning the snow off the rental car (just kidding!!!) 2 1 Quote
