 For
the second year TSC Club members will be snowed by
the "Authentic Colorado" Winter Park hospitality for the Fall
Roundup Thanksgiving trip Nov. 24 - 29, 2009. Many a day has
been spent by the expert staff to insure that everyone takes
home many memories of a wonderful week of adventure, skiing,
snowboarding, relaxation or many other scheduled activities
for all.
Spanning approximately 20,000 square feet, The Village at Winter Park
Resort
 features
new
restaurants, shops and real estate opportunities, not to mention new
parking at the Village parking garage; an ice skating and fishing pond;
better access to free parking via the Village Cabriolet; and more base
area lodging with the completion of Fraser Crossing and Founders Pointe.
There are two new restaurants open in the new Village. Cheeky
Monk-a Belgian Beer Café and LIME a Mexican cantina. There will be
more stores/restaurants open in time for the next ski season.
The Village at Winter Park Resort is an
exciting addition and marks a milestone achievement in base area
development. The Village at Winter Park Resort adds to the almost
$40 million in capital improvements invested on-mountain over the past
five years. Now, in addition to great skiing/riding on enhanced
terrain and via new chairlifts, Winter Park Resort can offer guests an
even better village to play in.
When all is said and done, the new Village is
spectacular -with something for everyone, Winter Parks now offers from
your favorite coffee shop, a hearty selection of dining choices, a
variety of retail shops, exciting tobogganing and tubing hills, three
new terrain parks, a five acre addition dedicated to beginners, enhanced
terrain for tree skiing, new intermediate trails, scenic snowcat tours,
scenic chairlift rides for foot passengers to The Lodge at Sunspot, ice
skating, guided snowshoe tours, evening snow bike excursions plus many
other adventures to just relaxing in front of a cozy roaring fire in
your condo or community living room. In addition for the adults, plans
are in the making for a Casino night and Pub Crawl.
"With
the first phase of The Village of Winter Park nearing
completion, the addition of the Village Cabriolet is essential
to the vibrancy of this new base village. "We have envisioned
The Village at Winter Park Resort now for many years. The
completion of The Village and its cabriolet moves this vision
into an exciting reality." said Gary DeFrange,
President and Chief Operating Officer for Winter Park Resort. "
Spanning a slope length of 1,436-feet,
the Village Cabriolet transports skis, snowboards, wheelchairs,
and mountain bikes to The Village and back to the resort's free
parking area in a matter of minutes. With the cabriolet in
place, Winter Park Resort will no longer use a bus for the
Vintage Hotel to resort route, however, shuttle service will
remain in place for the resort's other free parking lots.
This
is the fifth year for the TSC to promote the TSC Youth Foundation. The
Foundation is an ongoing program to encourage children 4-15 to
participate in the fun sports of skiing and snowboarding. Again
this year Winter Park Resorts is providing a fantastic affordable Youth
Camp. The camp has grown from 33 participants beginning in 2005. There
will be activities planned all week to keep the kids having the time of
their lives. A continuation of the WII Guitar Hero Contest which was very
popular last year will be on the agenda. So kids, be practicing your
skills at that guitar so you can win one of the many great prizes. The
parents and club members need to start raising funds to sponsor all your
kids on the trip in this fun fund raising event for the TSCYF. Ask your
club trip leader for the details.
Winter Park Resort guests will get to experience this year the
resort's newest chairlift – The Village Cabriolet. The $5.8
million, eight passenger lift connects the free parking lot at the
Vintage Hotel to the base of the new Village at Winter Park Resort and
is capable of transporting 2,800 passengers per hour with its 39 cabins.
For the avid skier the new Eagle Wind triple
chair provides access to expanded advanced and expert trails on the
backside of Parsenn Bowl. The Panoramic Express is North America's
highest high-speed six pack chair ( 12,060 feet above sea level) will
takes riders to the top of Persenn Bowl, Vasquez Cirque and Eagle Bowl.
Winter Park is nestled against the western slope
of the Continental Divide, just 70 miles west of Denver, truly a winter
wonderland..
Come join us at Winter Park for a memorable
Thanksgiving.
