Not surprisingly, the Winter Park and the Fraser Valley areas are known for their winter family activities and skiing and as a cold-weather playground famous among winter sports enthusiasts. From the family-style powder skiing and backcountry challenges of the nearly 3,000 skiable acres of Winter Park Resort to guided snowmobile tours up the Continental Divide, sleigh rides, snowshoeing and dog sledding, Winter Park and the Fraser Valley truly are a winter activity wonderland.

But the fun doesn’t stop when the weather gets warmer. While there may be snow on the higher peaks, summertime brings fully bloomed wildflowers dotting lush green meadows with fragrant splashes of color. With over 600 miles of trails as well as steep backcountry climbs, fair-weather friends will relish their outdoor experiences in this haven for summertime hikers, bikers and horseback riders.
