Following on the heels of Rand McNally's 2011 designation of Glenwood Springs as the “Most Fun Small Town” in the U.S.A., the city has a new distinction as a top-seven ski town.
The road atlas publisher announced its “Best of the Road Top Seven Ski Towns” this week. It lists the most popular destinations for winter vacation and recreation based on the input of its honorary mother-daughter traveling duo, Joan and Julianna Broste of Littleton.
The pair were in Glenwood Springs last July taking in some of the popular warm-month attractions, which led to the “Most Fun Town” designation. They returned recently to experience some of the winter fun the area has to offer.
With Sunlight Mountain Resort just a few miles outside of town, a wealth of backcountry recreation opportunities, its close proximity to the world-class ski resorts of Aspen and Vail, and all of the in-city amenities, Glenwood Springs came in at No. 5 in the “Best Ski Town” competition.
