Aspens, Adventure + Activities Abound! From Film Festivals to Oktoberfests to Trail Runs, Here's Everything Worth Marking on Your Fall Calendar

Summer's warm, easygoing days are winding down, but here in Grand County, that just means the best season of the year is about to begin. Every year around this time, I'm reminded all over again why fall in the mountains is my favorite; there's something about it that just feels like magic. Mornings arrive crisp and frosty, the high peaks start catching their first dusting of snow, and the aspens are just showing off with their vibrant gold, orange, and red everywhere you turn. The pace of life eases up too, leaving plenty of room to get outside in the cooler air and soak it all in. It's honestly one of my…

Winter Park Untamed: Get to Know the Neighborhoods Outside of Subdivisions Along and Off Vasquez Road, Idlewild Lane, Arapahoe Road, and Other Quiet + Cozy Corners of Winter Park 

The secret is out on living in Winter Park. Five minutes to the base of Winter Park Resort, ten minutes to the base of Mary Jane, a quick drive to Denver (and DIA for those who travel often), our quaint little town offers easy access to all the mountain adventures you could dream up! And living just outside downtown Winter Park, while still within town limits, gives you that peaceful mountain retreat feel while still being a quick walk or bike ride to Main Street and its restaurants, shopping, and calendar full of (primarily free) events. Even better, you're right in the…

No Pain, No Jane: Celebrating 50 Years of Skiing + Riding Winter Park's "Wild Side"

I’m a firm believer that every day in the mountains is worth celebrating. I never want to take for granted the alpenglow over snow-capped peaks, the view from the top of a summit, the ability to hop on trails right out my back door, or the slower pace of life. But this year, there's even more to celebrate here in Winter Park: Mary Jane’s 50th birthday!

Winter Park Resort’s Mary Jane territory ( “the Jane side”) is known for its steep, deep, and raw terrain. Largely ungroomed, the trails on the Jane develop some of the best moguls around. Couple those bumps with the steep pitch and it’s easy to see why the “No Pain, No Jane” slogan rings true. And if you spend a…

Winter Park Resort Ups Its Game with 37 Million Dollar Investment in Snowmaking Capacity

Winter Park Resort kicked off the ski season on Halloween this year, tying its 2022–23 season record for earliest opening day since its inaugural season in 1940. With a late start to the snowy season, the resort’s $37 million investment in snowmaking capacity is clearly already paying off! After a relatively dry fall, the hopes of opening before Thanksgiving would’ve been dashed without a big push to build snow coverage as soon as the temps dropped low enough. They started blowing snow the night of October 16, covering enough ground for the lifts to start turning on October 31.

The investment in an upgraded system (that more than doubled the volume of water…

Home Ownership Simplified: Idlewild Custom Home Care Gives a Whole New Meaning to "Living the Mountain Dream"

Living in the mountains really is the dream: snow-capped peaks outside your window, trails calling your name, fresh air that makes it easy to breathe a little deeper and relax in your alpine oasis. But as any homeowner knows, even the dream comes with its less-than-glamorous side: maintenance lists, repairs, scheduling services, stocking the fridge - all those little things that quietly eat up your time and potentially keep you from enjoying your mountain home as much as you'd envisioned.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just show up, settle in, and get straight to the good part (skiing, hiking, or just curling up by the fire) without…
