Embracing winter is a lifestyle for those of us living in Grand County. As we say goodbye to autumn, the parks are less busy, the temperatures dip, and the snow will accumulate quickly. But don’t let the brisk air dissuade you from a Rocky Mountain vacation. With so many things to do in Winter Park, now is the time to pull out the ski boots, thermal socks, and long johns to bundle up and enjoy a magical time of year with a beaming smile. In Grand County, Resort Management Group has a wide variety of Winter Park vacation rentals that lend themselves to being the perfect launchpad for adventure and excitement. From snowmobiling to hot air balloon rides, winter activities in Colorado are some of the best in the world!

Guests of Resort Management Group are guaranteed the best rates, not only for lodging but for things to do in Winter Park as well! The seemingly endless abundance of serenity is one of the most lovable aspects of a Rocky Mountain vacation. Although Grand County remains a bustling and vibrant community, you’ll find fewer crowds at some of the most popular recreation areas. There’s something special about being the first to step foot on a trail after a recent flurry on a frigid morning. Now, we can’t say the ski resorts won’t be busy, so we strongly encourage our guests to either purchase their lift tickets early or acquire a season pass.

Winter Park, Colorado, lives up to its name at no better time than the holiday season. Soon, the entirety of Grand County will transform into a whimsical wonderland characterized by frozen lakes, fresh blankets of snow, and smiling faces exuding joy. This year, Resort Management Group invites you to celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years’ in the comfort of a Grand County vacation rental to shake things up and perhaps start a new tradition. With a diverse selection ranging from mountainside condos to luxury lodges, it’s no surprise that RMG has been voted the #1 property management company in multiple years. Below, we share four reasons to spend the holiday season in Winter Park, Colorado. 

1. Start a New Holiday Tradition in Winter Park, Colorado

As much as we adore long-standing family traditions, there’s no harm in shaking things up from time to time. Traveling to new places promotes bonding and could be more manageable for some family members nationwide to meet in a relatively centralized location like Grand County. Furthermore, Winter Park, Colorado, has a gamut of winter activities to keep people busy during an extended stay. 

2. Grand County Vacation Rentals Are Stress-Free

Whether it’s mountain vistas or lakeside panoramas, there is something to be said about immersing oneself in natural scenic beauty. The calming effect that nature has is unrivaled and is the perfect way to supplement holiday joy. What’s more, RMG has a seamless booking, contactless and keyless check-in, and payment processing to add peace of mind, in addition to 24/7 emergency assistance. Also, rest easy knowing that your vacation rental will be cleaned and sanitized to hospital-grade standards by professionally trained staff. 

3. There’s Plenty of Things to Do in Winter Park

We mentioned the nearby winter activities, but we can’t convey enough just how many things there are to do in our winter wonderland. Winter Park Resort opens a week before Thanksgiving, so visitors can get back into “skiing shape” before the holiday season fully commences. What better way to burn calories in Winter Park, Colorado than by skiing and snowboarding?

4. Have Memorable Experiences with Those Who Are Closest to You

Let’s face it, life gets busy, so many of us don’t spend as much time with those we love as much as we’d like. The snow-capped Rocky Mountains and alpine forests lend themselves to meaningful reflection and conversations with friends and family. When it’s all said and done, the best part of the holiday season is being with the people we care about, so why not make the most of it in Grand County? One fun idea is to have a photoshoot to capture the most meaningful moments and create a social media group for everyone to enjoy year after year.
