Sunlight Mountain Resort

Sunlight gives you a full day of skiing for a fraction of the cost of the mega resorts. You’ll park for free, walk to the lifts, and never stand in line.
(3049)

No hassles. No hype. It’s exactly why you go skiing or riding. Sunlight features 72 named trails covering over 730 acres. In addition to miles of cruising intermediate terrain, Sunlight's East Ridge has one of the steepest 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 2.5 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.
