New Main Street Pedestrian Village for 2008-09: The new Intrawest retail village is scheduled to be complete in December 2008 for the opening of the ski season. The Village is different from previous Intrawest Villages with all 1-3 story retail building set in a main street concept. New restaurants and retail shops will be opening throughout the ski season.
Winter Park Resort completed the first phase of the pedestrian village in 2000 with the addition of the Zephyr Mountain Lodge and a variety of shops. Intrawest, the leading developer of mountain resorts in North America, took over the resort management in 2003. Two new properties opened this last winter Frasers Crossing and Founders Pointe, and they are the first phase of the new pedestrian village, offering studios, one, two and three bedrooms.
With more than 40 restaurants, Winter Park has an exceptional variety of dining establishments. For a romantic dinner, relax in a cozy renovated ranch house and stage coach stop. Take the family out for pizza or take Thai food back to your lodge. Enjoy a great Mexican meal or treat yourself to a mouth watering charbroiled steak.
Winter Park offers a wide variety of shopping from Indian art, Southwestern jewelry, Western attire, paintings and prints by local artists, books on local lore and history, a wide assortment of gifts and Colorado souvenirs. Stop by gourmet specialty shops with unique Colorado products, find the perfect Winter Park t-shirt, and outfit yourself in the latest sportswear.
