Mark Your Calendars: Holiday Events Are Happening!

Grand County is the quintessential place to celebrate this holidays: big snowflakes that tempt even adults to catch them with their tongues, sun sparkling off fresh snow on a bluebird day, smoke drifting up from chimneys, and snow settled in for winter (and with it, all the winter fun we've been waiting for)! The beauty and the vibe alone make spending this season here nothing short of magical; the month-long calendar of events that our towns, resorts, and businesses have planned make it even sweeter.

We’re constantly in awe of the sheer beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the winter wonderland we call home. Getting out to harvest your own Christmas tree is one of the perks of living (or visiting) here! Kind of like “earn your turns,” we like to put in the work for our trees. We've lived through all the tree cutting experiences you can imagine. The fairy-tale jaunt through the woods with hot chocolate on a bluebird day? The best. Post-holing through the woods to find the perfect tree only to find it's 5-feet too tall when you get it home? Been there. Looking for the cute pic to share with family and friends of your baby on their first tree-cutting adventure only to find their too cold to expose…

Lifts Start Turning: Winter Park & Granby Ranch Opening Days

Winter Park Resort Opening Day 2022

With temperatures dropping and the snow starting to fly, it's time to trade out our bike racks for ski racks. As we dust off our skis, boards, and boots and dig around for our gloves and helmets, snow builds up on the snow stake. Grand County's two downhill ski resorts, Winter Park  and Granby Ranch, have been prepping for months to welcome skiers and riders for their respective opening days. The energy and enthusiasm in town is palpable-we're all excited to spend more days on the snow and are grateful to live in a place where we can hop on a lift and take few runs on any given day. It never gets old, and we never take it for granted.

The deep powder days and “winter wonderland” vibes are woven into the community’s identity. Whether it be cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, or backcountry skiing, there is no shortage of fun to be had in the giant “park” we call home.
