Winter Park Resort Thanksgiving

Looking to spend turkey day Thanksgiving, up in the high country of Colorado? Well look no further for in Winter Park, Colorado Thanksgiving is a dream come true.

A Thanksgiving getaway throws some vacationers and skiers off because there is a choice to be made between turkey, skiing and football. Well, you can have it all ways at Winter Park Resort and Devil’s Thumb Ranch.

The best of both worlds is to dig into a turkey and the trimmings in ski country after a good day on the snow. Thanksgiving will fall just four days before a full moon, so if you dine someplace with a view and the sky is clear, you may get the bonus of silvery snow and mountain-scapes bathed in moonbeams.

Sunspot, pictured above with a full moon, offers a dazzling spread of all that is Thanksgiving. Take a gondola ride up the Winter Park slopes and get million dollar views of the continental divide and the Fraser Valley.

At the Ranch House Restaurant just 10 min up the road at Devil’s Thumb Ranch a traditional Thanksgiving dinner can be expected with a modern twist. The Ranch House is a 1930 original homestead with stunning views of the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The food here is exquisite and will be the talk of future Thanksgiving for years to come.

One option for visitors who can’t miss Thanksgiving Day football is to have dinner delivered to their condo. Or make a trip to City Market or Safeway and make up your Thanksgiving meal as you would at home.

Thanksgiving Dinner At Winter Park Resort

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Chris

Winter Park famous Turkey

It was just before Thanksgiving in Walmart and a woman was anxiously picking over the last few remaining turkeys in the hope of finding a large one.

In desperation she called over a shop assistant and said, ‘Excuse me. Do these turkeys get any bigger?’

‘No, madam, ‘he replied, ‘they’re all dead.’

Free Turkey with your Winter Park Lodging over Thanksgiving

That’s right stay with Winter Park Lodging Company over the Thanksgiving weekend and we will place a thawed bird in your refrigerator so all you need to do is pop it in the oven Thanksgiving morning. Yes you won’t even have to go to Walmart to pick up a turkey.

Better than a free turkey is that if the football games on tv that day are terrible you can go take a few runs on the slopes. It is looking like we should have good snow early here at Winter Park with all the precipitation we have gotten the last few weeks and how early Loveland and A-Basin were able to open.

If you haven’t spent Thanksgiving in the mountains it is the perfect holiday to take a family gettaway. Spend a few days on the slopes and it doesn’t really matter how much turkey, stuffing, and gravy you consume. You will still be calorie negative.

Book your Winter Park Thanksgiving lodging now for a fine turkey holiday.
