Welcome!

Welcome to MyColoradoCondo! I am located at the Inn at SilverCreek in Granby, CO roughly 90 miles from Denver. There are many activities available in the area.  Located about 1 mile from Granby Ranch (formerly Sol Vista Basin) and only 20 miles to Winter Park, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs and Rocky Mountain National Park.  It is a great starting point for your vacation!

The loft suite was updated with new loft stairway, kitchen cabinets and appliances. The updated kitchen includes stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher and new dishes/cookware. There is sleeping room for 6 with king bed, a murphy queen bed and sofa sleeper.  There is room for 2 more with a king bed in lock off room.  There is a fire place in the loft suite. 

The Inn at SilverCreek includes an outdoor swimming pool that is open year round. The kids can swim in the snow!  There are two outdoor hot tubs, two indoor soaking tubs, sauna and an updated workout facility with new equipment and racket ball court. There are tennis courts across the street.  On site you will also find a bar and restaurant. There is also an on site ski rental shop, game room and salon.  The front desk is available 24 hours.

Nearby, there are plenty of restaurants, gas stations and liquor stores in Granby. In addition, there is a full service grocery store (City Market) across the street (about 1 mile from the Inn).

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Discounted Lift Tickets - where to find?

Lift ticket deals will soon be found.  They usually kick off around the Labor Day holiday and once again around Thanksgiving.  You'll usually find the best deals by going direct to the resorts websites during this time.  Later in the spring, Winter Park will run specials for their April passes in late February thru early March.  April skiing is one of my favorite times to go, a little warmer and the potential for a lot of late season snow.  Sign up for the resorts e-mails, you won't miss the deals.

Ski Granby Ranch typically closes in early April.  If you book lift tickets online through their website you receive a 20% discount.

Some other areas you might explore:

Lift tickets can be expensive, but if you take the time to look a  little you can find some good deals.  Most of the work has been done for you, look below or check out the links of local interest on the right for deals.


The Colorado Gems Card  is a good deal for $20 if you can ski multiple resorts in Colorado.  If you are just going to ski Granby it might not be that great since you only get a one time use of the 2 for 1 lift ticket purchase.  www.coloradoski.com/colorado-gems-card  The one time 2 for 1 lift tickets are also good at A-Basin, Eldora, Loveland, Monarch, Powderhorn, Ski Cooper and Sunlight.  At the Gems website there is also information available at the site about the 5th (free) and 6th ($99) grade Passport program.  The 5th Grade Passport program was easy to apply for, do it early.  It can take a few weeks to get the pass in the mail.  The Gems site will also occasionally provide flash deals.


Granby Ranch - 02/10/2014 - Powder!


Other items - Facebook - both Winter Park Resort and Granby Ranch have Facebook pages.  Occasionally they will advertise deals or offers on there.  For the past couple years on or around opening weekend Granby Ranch will have a local food pantry collection, you can get a free or discounted lift ticket with a few donated canned goods.  Not a bad deal for a good cause. Winter Park will send out offers e-mail.




I have not tried this one yet - the "E book" is a $10 discount coupon book with discounts for lift tickets, rentals and other items (food, auto service, movies, etc...) go to eduproject.com for more information.

Military Discounts - both Winter Park and Granby offer them.  Winterpark discount varies between week day and weekend but it was about 40% off.  My friend was able to buy tickets for his family with no issues.  Only catch was they would not allow multiple day purchases.  Granby also offers a Military Discount, but they don't seem to advertise it on their site or ticket window.  It was a very good discount, 50% off the daily lift ticket.  The catch, each family member (includes children) had to show their military ID.

If you want a cheap experience, Granby Ranch offers night skiing on Friday and Saturday nights with lift tickets running $14 to ski from 5pm-8pm on a limited number of runs.  Look in the local paper (Sky Hi Daily News which is free and found most everywhere) for a $5 coupon or just ski and  have fun.

Final Option - SUMMER TIME! - Both locations will put four pack lift tickets up for sale in the summer, when no one is thinking of snow.  Granby has typically had their four pack lift tickets available for $99 and Winter Park's four pack is usually $179.  Both are usually no longer available once you get to September.

Hope you find these tip helpful. For reservation inquiries please e-mail mycoloradocondo@yahoo.com.  Multiple night stays receive a discount.  The unit can sleep 2 in the traditional room, sleep 6 in the loft or 8 if you reserve both.  You are only 5 minutes away and can see the top of the runs at Granby from the deck.  It is 20 minutes to Winter Park.
