HGTV did the reaserch for you when they scoured the nation to find the BEST ski resort town for their 2007 Dream Home of the Year. They chose Winter Park Colorado!
Winter Park is only 67 miles North West of Denver and 90 minutes from Denver International Airport. This beautiful community is equipped with spectacular mountains with miles of down-hill and cross-country skiing trails, summer mountain biking trails, fishing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, golfing, boating, snow-covered alpine meadows for
snowshoeing or flower-covered alpine meadows for summer hiking. In the
town itself are many more shops, restaurants and galleries. You will find variety in your choice of dining and shopping. Winter Park events range from music festivals to rodeos and fairs. If Privacy, Luxury, and Value are important to you in your decision to
buy a second Ski resort home Winter Park is without a doubt where you should buy.

"What a difference a year makes. Take 37 feet of snow at Winter Park Resort, give snow sport devotees the season of their dreams, then melt it into lush, green hillsides with rampant, techni-color wildflowers. Watch the rivers and rafters froth with whitewater excitement, while reservoirs open once more for fishing and boating. Winter Park distinguishes its seasons quite simply. Snowy months' action is on the mountain; summer fun and games happen at the foot of the big hill. And, we're not talking run-of-the-mill fun and games. Winter Park's village is a veritable amusement park for the adventurous and the thrill-seeker."
“After living in Colorado my entire life and seeing thousands of mountains homes, this house is by far the best home I have ever seen in quality and appeal! It truly stands alone as much as it stands out. When I saw the URL I thought I would see for myself. I drove to Winter Park one Sunday to see this house next door to the HGTV 2007 Dream Home of the Year. The website was correct, it is the best ski home I have seen!"

20,000,000 in Vail or Aspen.
