Winter activities:
Glenwood Springs: Sunlight Mountain Sunlight Mountain Resort is a unique winter playground that is affordable and family oriented. Sunlight has hundreds of acres for skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing. Sunlight’s summit on Compass Mountain in the White River National Forest, overlooks majestic Mount Sopris and the awe inspiring Elk Mountain Range. Amenities include a restaurant, lounge, rental and retail shop, ski school, children’s center, and snowmobile tours. Sunlight features 67 named trails covering over 470 acres. In addition to miles of cruising intermediate terrain, Sunlight’s East Ridge has one of the steeper runs in the state. Aptly named, The Heathen falls beneath your feet at a breathtaking 52 degrees. Sunlight is home to one of the longest trails in ski country, Ute, a beginner slope that winds more than 2 miles from summit to base. Sunlight also hosts some of the best tree skiing in Colorado with many aspen groves untracked days after snowfall. All trails converge at the base lodge, so friends and family can always keep track of each other. EXPERIENCE POWDERHORN Powderhorn rests high on the north slope of the world's largest flat top mountain, known as the Grand Mesa. It is often described as an “island in the sky” with 360,000 acres of beautiful forest rising 4,000 feet above the Grand Valley. The view from the slopes of Powderhorn is truly different than any other resort. While skiing fresh powder in groves of aspen, guests look out over the red desert canyons and cliffs of western Colorado. The contrast is striking! RENT-A-SLED!! You'll enjoy the beauty and thrill of riding through the White River National Forest on our state-of-the-art snowmobiles. Magnificent 360-degree views of Mt. Sopris, the West Elk Mountains and the Flattop Wilderness are just part of one of the most spectacular rides in Colorado. We have electric hand warmers to keep you comfortable and key safety features such as independent front suspension and hydraulic disc braking systems. Sunlight Snowmobile Tours’ friendly staff will review basic snowmobile operations so even the first timer will feel like an expert driver!
