Skiing in Colorado: Maximizing Your Grand County Vacation

A outdoor enthusiast couple happily avoids crowds while skiing in Colorado.

At this point, the words “skiing” and “Colorado” are nearly synonymous. Every winter, outdoor enthusiasts clamor for a chance to leave their mark on some of the most highly sought slopes in the world. With so many people wanting to taste the Rockies, things can sometimes feel a little hectic while skiing in Colorado. But that’s no reason for you to miss out on the fun! After all, there is a good reason so many people come to Grand County for the winter, and we’d like to show you why while helping you ensure an unforgettable mountain adventure. To help you maximize your time during your Colorado winter vacation, Resort Management Group would like to share a few tips that will enable you to secure the best ski days, avoid crowds, and make memories. 

Colorado Vacation Rentals: Your Home Away from Home

The only thing better than skiing in Colorado is avoiding all the commotion associated with resort hotels by making one of our vacation rentals your home away from home. With an expansive collection of Colorado vacation rentals in the heart of Grand County, you’ll have unfettered access to the best resorts, winter activities, and attractions. Without further ado, here are eleven ways to ensure a memorable vacation, making the most of your mountain retreat.

 

11 Ways to Maximize Your Enjoyment While Skiing in Colorado

 

  • Ski mid-week by utilizing a midweek season pass or individual day passes
  • Check out night skiing at Granby Ranch. The dates are limited, so be sure to check the schedule from the link above to know what nights will work best for you.
  • Purchase and reserve your spot for other activities like dog sledding and snowmobile tours of the Continental Divide, which are almost as popular as skiing in Colorado. Making sure you have other things to do in Grand County will go a long way in keeping you busy!
  • Add an extra day or two to your travel itinerary for a stress-free drive. You’ll also want to avoid I-70 traffic during peak days.
  • Take a look at our winter activities guide for the latest information regarding the best local spots on and off the mountain.
  • Booking now and directly with us will allow you to save money by avoiding service fees from third-party travel sites. 
  • Book the days you want now to secure lift access if you have a season pass.
  • Consider an extended stay. Reach out to us to learn about our extended day deals, and you could have yourself the staycation of a lifetime. Imagine walking through a mountain prairie during your lunch break or skiing down the mountain after your Friday afternoon all-hands meeting!
  • Bring snowshoes and cross country skis. Many local rentals and outfitters are selling out, so booking in advance or bringing your gear will open up more possibilities beyond downhill skiing and snowboarding during busy weekends.
  • Gain peace of mind from knowing we now have very flexible cancellation and deposit policies. Reserve a one-of-a-kind property with the security of canceling outside of 14 days if necessary. 
  • Get all the latest information about what’s going on around Winter Park Resort and Granby Ranch Ski Area by visiting our lift ticket updates page.

Avoid the Crowds with These Colorado Winter Activities

A joyous couple jubilantly strides while snowshoeing, one of the many Colorado winter activities in Grand County.

As much as we love the fantastic ski resorts in our neck of the woods, there is so much more to Grand County, Colorado, than carving down fresh powder with dozens of other people. Furthermore, we realize that some travelers are interested in experiencing some of the other Colorado winter activities, and let us tell you, there are plenty! As we mentioned in our previous post, there is a vast assortment of things to do in Colorado during the winter months. Today we’d like to focus on activities that will help you avoid crowds and enjoy open space while immersing you in the winter splendor of Grand County, Colorado. 

Get Away from It All: Grand County Vacation Rentals

Whether you want an adrenaline-pumping snowmobiling tour or a quiet alpine cross country skiing expedition, you’re going to need a place to stay. With an elite collection of Grand County vacation rentals, Resort Management Group is ready to provide you with both a home away from home and a basecamp for adventure. Why stay at a ski resort or hotel when you can have a private vacation home? Some of our favorites are covered here in one of our previous posts. 

Colorado Winter Activities: More Than Just Skiing

For many people, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Colorado winter activities is skiing and snowboarding. As much as we appreciate those iconic winter sports, there is a lot more going on in The Centennial State than hitting the slopes. Planning your vacation highlights can sometimes be overwhelming, but having a broad idea of your options can go a long way in streamlining your planning process, as well as help you determine which vacation rental is right for you. As such, we’d like to give you a few ideas on things to do if you want to avoid crowds. 

Snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing

Sometimes overlooked, snowshoeing and cross country skiing are excellent winter sports for those who enjoy hiking. The alpine woodlands take on a new personality when covered in a layer of snow, creating a captivating world of discovery for those eager to learn what’s around the bend. Epic Mountain Sports in Winter Park has an extensive selection of high-quality winter sports rentals, including cross country skis and snowshoes. What’s more, groomed cross country skiing trails like the one at Fraser Valley Sports Complex are available for discovery. 

Backcountry Skiing on the Berthoud Pass

Quite possibly the best backcountry skiing east of the Continental Divide, Berthoud Pass is a defunct ski area remnant and is reserved for only the most experienced riders. Berthoud Pass is an integral section of the Front Range and is the focal point of backcountry skiing in Grand County. We highly recommend taking a safety course before taking on this accessible yet volatile terrain.

Snowmobile Tours with Grand County Adventures

Grand County Adventures offers guided and unguided snowmobile tours that will get your adrenaline pumping while immersing you in the highlands. You’ll cruise by scenic vistas and sprawling panoramas as you explore Grand County and the Fraser Valley via hundreds of miles of trails and mountainside recreation areas. Snowmobiling in Colorado is something every winter enthusiast should experience!
