Our goal for this year’s event is to minimize costs while maximizing enjoyment. To that end we have worked very hard to secure the best available lodging at the least amount of cost.
Winter Park Resorts has extended to MITM participants a wide range of room options at exceptional prices in four excellent locations. Having personally inspected these room packages I can honestly say that these rooms are the best we have ever had available at the best price we have ever been offered.
We will soon have links to the Resort on our website as well as information about camping and lodging within the town of Winter Park. For those of you wishing to secure your Resort rooms now you may contact the toll-free group reservations line for Winter Park Resort at (866) 239-3989. Be sure to tell them you are with MINIs in the Mountains 2010 to receive these special rates.






Winter Park Resort is situated on the north side of Berthoud Pass at an elevation of 9,100 ft. The resort offers four lodging locations, shopping, restaurants, bars, plenty of parking and beautiful vistas.

The Vintage Hotel is located on the west side of Highway 40 off Winter Park Drive. There is a free gondola lift from the hotel to the main resort (about a 1/2 mile). Winter Park Mountain Lodge is located on the east side of Highway 40 a mile closer to the town of Winter Park and about 1-1/2 miles from the main resort.

MINI5280 recommends either Zephyr, Fraser Crossing or Founders Pointe for those participants wishing to be as close to the action as possible. The Vintage Hotel would be our next choice since there is plenty of parking and a free gondola ride. The Winter Park Mountain lodge, though the least expensive option, does require a little driving to get to the event site.

We have some new and exciting activities planned for this year not to mention new ride routes, a new town to explore and reduced cost. This should all roll-up to result in a fun and memorable MITM for all participants

Just an FYI (and perhaps it's been mentioned previously, though I haven't seen it); only the Vintage Hotel and the Winter Park Mountain Lodge are listed as "pet-friendly".

My son plans to come up from Denver and hang around with us for a day or two, bringing along his 170-pound Great Dane; I'll have to get them a 2-bed unit at the Vintage, I guess.

 

Thanks Doug! Of the two the Vintage is closer and there is a swell cabriolet lift from the hotel right to the MINI parking and vendor circle.

 

Cool!
