Ski and Stay in Palisade

Why choose between skiing and wine country when you can have both? A Ski & Stay getaway at The Homestead pairs uncrowded skiing at Powderhorn Ski Resort with relaxed evenings in Palisade—just about 30 minutes away.

Spend your days carving groomers and your nights sipping local wine, enjoying good food, and unwinding far from the bustle of on-mountain lodging.

Why Stay in Palisade Instead of Slopeside?

Powderhorn delivers excellent snow and a laid-back vibe—but Palisade is where your ski day really gets better.

  • More dining & drink options than on-mountain lodging

  • Wine tastings, distilleries, and breweries are minutes from your room

  • Quiet, boutique accommodations with space to relax

  • Better value and more availability during winter

You’ll still get runs in without sacrificing comfort or atmosphere.

The Perfect Ski Day, Reimagined

A Ski & Stay trip to Palisade lets you enjoy winter at your own pace:

Morning
Drive up to Powderhorn for fresh snow, scenic runs, and shorter lift lines.

Afternoon
Wrap up early or ski all day—your après is waiting.

Evening
Return to Palisade for wine tastings, cocktails, or a cozy dinner in town before settling in for a quiet night at The Homestead.

Après-Ski, Palisade Style

Forget crowded bars and noisy lodges. Après-ski in Palisade means:

  • Fireside reds at local wineries or barrel-aged spirits at Peach Street Distillers

  • Casual tastings and local gathering spots

  • Sunset views over resting vineyards

  • Time to slow down and savor the season

  • Family and pet-friendly accommodations and activities

It’s the kind of winter evening skiers don’t realize they’ve been missing.

Ideal for Weekends or Midweek Ski Escapes

Winter is Palisade’s quiet season, making it ideal for:

  • Weekend ski trips without peak-season crowds

  • Midweek ski-and-work escapes

  • Couples’ winter getaways

  • Friends planning a low-key ski trip

Snow when you want it. Calm when you need it.
