Schools are discovering that organized ski trips to the states are not only highly educational, but offer their pupils an unparalleled skiing experience at considerably higher standards than those found in Europe, and at excellent value for money. It helps that English is spoken here also!

Over the last three seasons we have established working relationships with leading School Trip Ski Tour Operators such that we are now welcoming schools to our facility on an annual basis. Our growth expectancy for school trips for the next two seasons is stronger than ever.

Why would Winter Park, Colorado make an ideal destination for your School?

1. Affordable: Winter Park is recognised as offering perhaps the best value for money through it's attractive group (and late-season) lift ticket pricing, group lodging rates, and very reasonable on-mountain prices for food and beverage.
2. Big: The Ski Area has three interconnected mountains, above tree-line bowl skiing, and in Vasquez Cirque, a new back-country experience, all across some 2,886 skiable acres and 134 trails.
3. Close: Winter Park is only 85 miles from Denver International Airport and less than a 2-hour transfer making it the closest major ski resort in Colorado to Denver.
4. Deep!: At an annual average of over 30 feet, Winter Park receives more snow on average than any other major Colorado Ski Resort! Such a record and deep base guarantee both early and late skiing.

Then, consider Beaver Village Lodge as your first choice for accommodations in Winter Park.

1. Location: Regarded as the perfect destination, just a 4 minute, 2 mile ride to the Ski Area on the free shuttle buses, and merely a 5 minute walk from downtown in a secluded forest setting.
