Ski Sunlight Mountain Resort


Pure and simple just the way you want it! We've been here since 1966, providing our guests a friendly, intimate and, most of all fulfilled vacation. We have something for everyone from one of the longest cruisers in Colorado that is over 2 miles long to the one of the steepest extreme runs boasting a 52% pitch. The avid cross country skier will appreciate our 29 kilometers of groomed trails in our Nordic Center. Our Snowmobiling Center has some of the best terrain and equipment in the valley. The Day Lodge with a heated Sundeck, restaurant, lounge and outdoor fireplace provide a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine while you take a break from it all.

We invite you to come and enjoy the great terrain, the great snow and sunshine, and the simple joy of skiing or boarding at an area that "just feels good".
