Hi folks, I’m relatively new here and posted some threads a few months back about looking for options for this season (in Colorado) as opposed to Squaw Valley (Palisades) in Tahoe, where I have been 3 times over the last 4 years.
I just had neck surgery on Dec 19 (C5-C6 removed), and my recovery is going well, AND...IF my surgeon clears me, my wife and I may try to head out to Winterpark CO late Feb-early March for a 3-day skiing getaway. I’m a blue/green skier, so I won’t be attempting anything that might jar anything loose (and my neurosurgeon told me “You CAN’T undo what I’ve done!”).
That being said, the only other 2 times I was in Winterpark (now 15 or more years ago) it was with an adult church group, and we stayed at the Woodspur lodge, which is rustic, and quite a drive from the slopes. I would like to find something slopeside, closer to restaurants and walking distance to the lifts, if not ski in/out.
OR...someone mentioned to me a while back that there is a nice resort/spa that is in or around Winterpark that has a nice restaurant/spa setup, and they shuttle you to an from the slopes...but I can’t recall the name...maybe someone can help me out there? That might be more appealing to my wife who may ski 1 or 2 days max of our three skiable days.
Thanks so much!
