A Skier’s Paradise in Glenwood Springs
When choosing a base for your ski vacation, Hotel Colorado stands out as a natural choice. With its historic charm and modern amenities, it provides the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The allure lies not only in its cozy rooms, many newly remodeled, but in its strategic location in the heart of Colorado ski country.
Family Friendly Sunlight Mountain Resort
Begin your snowy escapade with a warm-up day or two at Sunlight Mountain Resort, Glenwood’s hometown hill. It’s a positive experience that begins before you even buckle your boots. Affordable lift tickets and free parking get ski days off to a smooth start. While Sunlight isn’t as famous as its neighbor resorts, it boasts an incredible 730 acres of skiable terrain with 72 trails catering to all skill levels. Enjoy everything from green cruisers to double-black diamond runs. Best of all, the resort exudes a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Say Yes to Affordable Thrills with Ski Swim Stay Packages
Opting for a ski vacation at Hotel Colorado comes with enticing perks, including the sought-after Ski Swim Stay packages. Especially popular among families, this package combines lift tickets to Sunlight, entry to the world-famous Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and cozy accommodations at Hotel Colorado. Another standout advantage is that children 12 and younger ski for free, a benefit that has made Ski Swim Stay a top choice for generations.
Aspen Bound
Just 40 miles away are Aspen Skiing Company’s esteemed resorts, a collection of four distinct snowy havens. Each offers a unique skiing adventure—from the exhilarating runs of Aspen Mountain to the challenging terrain of Aspen Highlands and the expansive powder fields of Snowmass to the spotlight venue for the Winter X Games at Buttermilk Mountain. While these upscale resorts promise unparalleled skiing experiences, they often come with premium price tags. By choosing Hotel Colorado as your lodging hub, you’re not only conveniently close to these elite slopes but also smartly benefit from affordable accommodation rates.
Venture to Vail Resorts
After just a one-hour drive east of Glenwood Springs you’ll have arrived at yet another global skiing epicenter—Vail Resorts.

Renowned for its expansive terrain and its seven pristine back bowls boasting knee-deep, fresh powder, Vail is a skier’s dream come true. Meanwhile, Beaver Creek, once a cherished retreat for President Gerald Ford, is smaller and more intimate with stunning views, diverse terrain for all abilities and elevated hospitality; it is the epitome of mountain luxury and warmth.
