“So much to smile about!”
For starters, Sunlight gives you a full day of skiing for about half the cost of the mega resorts. You’ll park for free, walk to the lifts, and never stand in line. Without the crowds, the powder lasts for days. All 67 trails lead right back to the lodge where you can stow your brown bag lunch or pick up something hot at the grill. No hassles. No hype. It’s exactly what you’ve been missing.Sunlight is located just 12 miles south of Glenwood Springs, where you can après ski in the world’s largest hot springs pool and still find a room for under $100 a night. And when you book Sunlight’s Ski Swim Stay package, kids 12 and under ski free. You’ll also find plenty of affordable restaurants, many within an easy walk of Glenwood’s historic downtown.
As an avid snowboarding family, we were more than a bit skeptical about going to a smallish ski resort in Glenwood Springs when you have mountains like Aspen, Vail and Beaver Creek within a short drivable distance. But if you’re going to do a smaller mountain, Sunlight Mountain Resort is the one. And with 72 trails on 730 skiable acres, it’s not really that small.
And with tickets in the $40 (child) to $60 (adult) price range, they cannot be beat. If you’re already staying in Glenwood Springs, you’ll want to spend at least a day here and maybe more. It’s only a 13-mile, 25-minute drive from city center.
We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Glenwood Springs!
