Winter Park CO

Winter Park is home to Winter Park Resort, a ski resort owned by Alterra Mountain Company. The town and resort are served by the Winter Park Express ski train run by Amtrak. The area also has cross-country skiing opportunities, including Devil's Thumb Ranch. In the spring and summer, Winter Park is known for mountain biking, concerts, hiking, and fishing. Its elevation ranges from approximately 8,700 to 12,060 feet above sea level and is considered a sub-alpine country. It is snow-covered for about six months a year. Although the town center is at about 9,000 feet above sea level, Winter Park, using administrative boundaries as a measure, became the highest incorporated town in the United States after the July 2006 annexation of 5,214 acres of Winter Park Resort to allow new on-mountain improvements
