"Colorado’s longest continually operating ski resort, this beloved mountain escape for Denverites has been spinning lifts since 1940 and uniquely offers what no other Colorado ski area can: a train that picks you up in the heart of Denver and drops you directly at the base of the resort. With the Winter Park Express in place, riders can skip the rental-car counter, avoid I-70 traffic and resort parking, and still make an easy day trip thanks to the 7 a.m. Denver departure and 4:33 p.m. return." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"Even getting there is part of the adventure: from Denver’s Union Station you can board the seasonal Winter Park Express Amtrak train and skip the parking hassle. Once on snow, you’ll find over 3,000 acres with a tilt toward advanced and expert terrain, plus snowcat and Sno‑Go ski bike tours and glow tubing under neon lights. Intermediate and advanced skiers can also book an hour‑long session with a pro to sharpen technique before morning laps." - Brandon Perlman Brandon Perlman Brandon Perlman (also known as Mr. Luxury Ski) is one of the world’s foremost experts on luxury travel, specifically the upper echelons of ski, alpine culture, and outdoor lifestyle.

"Lift Ticket Price: $112 per day with a four-day Ikon Pass. With more than 3,000 acres of skiable, family-friendly terrain and a direct train connection from Denver, the resort is an easy place to get to for plenty of adventure. "This is the closest resort to Denver," Sherman adds. "There’s actually a Ski Train that goes from downtown Denver right to the resort. It’s on the Ikon Pass and has a large selection of more affordable hotels, motels, and condos." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
