Wintertime in the Rockies literally turns Grand County into a Winter Wonderland. The beauty of the snow-capped peaks, Christmas lights lining Main Street and the stillness of the outdoors is an invitation to take part in the fun, adrenaline rush, and awe of the alpine lifestyle.

Skiing: Although, downhill skiing is some of the best in the country for any ability at Winter Park Ski Resort, Berthoud Pass offers legendary free-riding terrain on the Continental Divide (12,240 ft) with wider runs and no crowds. Berthoud receives a total average snowfall of 500" and has 1,200 skiable trails. Sol Vista Golf & Ski Resort is a favorite for families with an average total snowfall of 220" ft on 33 skiable trails. If ski areas aren't your thing then it's time to trek to some of our many Nordic ski areas and Cross-Country ski at Snow Mountian Ranch/YMCA of the Rockies, Grand Lake Touring Center, Devil's Thumb Ranch and Sol Vista.

Snowmobiling: A snowmobiler's haven can be found in Grand County with plenty of snowmobile tracks to be seen. The Grand Lake area has 300 miles of trails, of which 150 are groomed. If you're ready for a thrill, head into the hills for stunning wilderness scenery. Winter Park has great snowmobiling too. Take a guided, or depending on your level of experience, an unguided tour up to the Corona Bowl or the Continental Divide and enjoy spectacular picturesque views of the valley.

Snowshoeing: For and adventurous spirit strap on some snowshoes and trek into the backcountry and discover a new path all of your own. The Arapaho National Forest or Rocky Mountain National Park are great places to snowshoe.
