Winter in Colorado offers some of the most iconic seasonal experiences, and this year, we’re sharing some of the best activities to enjoy in the colder months. Whether you're an adventure seeker or looking for a cozy retreat, here are three must-do winter happenings that will make your holiday season unforgettable.
1. Skiing in Beaver Creek
Beaver Creek Resort is one of our favorite spots for skiing, offering some of the best terrain in Colorado with fewer crowds than Vail. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned skier or a beginner, there’s something for everyone here. After a day on the slopes, head to the Ritz Carlton in Bachelor Gulch for a well-deserved glass of champagne. The vibes are unbeatable, with live music and a large outdoor fire pit that creates the perfect atmosphere for unwinding after a fun day in the snow.
2. Tennessee Pass Cookhouse
For a truly unique winter dining experience, Tennessee Pass Cookhouse is a must. Located at the Nordic Center, you can enjoy an outdoor adventure before your meal, choosing between cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. This is a fantastic holiday activity, and in the spring, catching a sunset at the top before dinner is an experience you won’t forget. The cookhouse offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food — perfect for those looking to combine physical activity with a memorable meal.
3. Staycation at the Gaylord Rockies
For those who want to relax and unwind, a staycation at the Gaylord Rockies Resort offers the perfect family getaway. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a day of winter activities. Take a dip in the indoor pool or indulge in a rejuvenating treatment at the Relache Spa. We highly recommend the lymphatic massage for its soothing and detoxifying benefits. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some pampering this winter.
From skiing in Beaver Creek to dining at Tennessee Pass Cookhouse and relaxing with a staycation at the Gaylord Rockies, Colorado offers a variety of unforgettable winter experiences. These activities allow you to embrace the season in unique ways. Make this winter one to remember with these memorable outings and getaways.
