This resort has an intimate unpretentious atmosphere that can be attributed to its small-town roots. Sunlight, with its summit situated on Compass Mountain, offers beautiful vistas of majestic Mount Sopris and the surrounding Elk Mountain Range. The acres of mild greens, intermediate slopes and black diamond extremes are offered to satisfy all levels and abilities. Due to the affordability and laid-back attitude Sunlight became a favorite for all who visit.
At Sunlight children always have a good time. A favorite program for returning guests is Super Tots. This package includes a two-hour ski lesson, equipment rental, lunch and childcare. The resort also provides indoor childcare for age 18 months to six years old.
This resort has the perfect experience for everyone. Riders will discover terrain from bumps and steeps to glades and groomed trails on more than 460 acres. And they will enjoy a perfect mix of Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert Terrain.
Snowmobile enthusiasts will be impressed by the beauty and thrill of riding through the White River National Forest and checking out the 360-degree views from the ridge tops. The landscape boasts of breathtaking views of Mt. Sopris, the West Elk Mountains and faraway Flattops.
Snowshoeing and cross-country is a wonderful way to take the beauty of the mountain. The resort’s cross-country and snowshoe center offers 29 kilometers of groomed cross country and snowshoe trails. Trails for beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers wind their way through a gorgeous high valley, flanked by Sunlight Mountain and the 10,300-foot Williams Peak.
