Mud Season In Winter Park

Mud Season In Winter Park

It is officially mud season in Winter Park, CO.  The ski area closed last weekend, many seasonal employees have moved on and a lot of businesses close for a week or two.  But, now is a nice time as a local to get to know your bartender or waiter at your favorite restaurant. 

And many restaurants do specials during Mud Season, like the Crooked Creek in Fraser - they are doing a 2 for $22 special (includes an app, salad bar trip, 2 entrees and a dessert from their special menu).  I plan on taking advantage of that deal sometime this week!  And Casa Mexico is having a Cinco de Mayo party next Monday - mariachi band!

It is also a good time to swap out your ski gear for bike gear.  I usually put storage wax on my skis and snowboard for the summer and pack all my ski equipment into a bag so that it is all ready to go next fall and I am not struggling to find my goggles.  Then I get my bike down and dust it off from the long winter, then ask my husband what needs to be done (he knows best).  If you don't have a husband like mine, take your to a bike shop and ask them to tune it up for you - it is worth it!

Have some fun this mud season and just because the ski area is closed, doesn't mean the rest of us have to shut down too - get out there....  Granby Ranch trails and the phases should be drying out soon!
