I have been traveling from the Midwest to ski Winter Park since 1980. We have enjoyed accommodations at the TimberHouse Ski Lodge for many years now. These trips also included Steamboat in the late 80's, Breckenridge, Vail, Copper, Keystone, Loveland and Eldora. While change is inevitable, Winter Park has always been a family and value oriented ski area. I still tell people that you can be there for a week and never see a fur coat. Not every ski area needs to be or should be Aspen or Vail. Although the documents are likely already drafted and approved, my sincere hope is that the appeal to the Front Range, family and value oriented skier are preserved in the long range plans.
