I've always stayed in the best western - nice adapted rooms, good value and an accessible hot tub (if you don't count a single step up to get in) - transport to the ski centre via the free para transit system of adapted buses available on call.

Do you have knobby tires on your chair? If not, I highly suggest you get some because you'll need them in the deep snow on the ski hill. Sportaid.com sells them. Winter Park has an adaptive ski program right? Are you skiing on your own or with their program?
