Credit options

Category 1 through a session’s accredited provider, where offered.

Category 2 self-claimed by eligible physicians for qualifying learning.

It depends on the session. A presentation or journal module offers AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ only where its accredited provider offers a CME activity and supplies instructions for claiming it; then you claim it as that provider directs. That credit comes from the provider, not from Shift CME, and not every session offers it. Physicians may also self-claim AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™ for learning they judge meets the AMA's requirements, and your Shift CME records can support that claim. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants follow their own certifying bodies' rules: NCCPA lets PAs self-claim Category 2 CME, while AANPCB and ANCC require accredited contact hours, which Shift CME does not award.

Where to stay in Winter Park

With a ski train from Denver, hundreds of miles of bike trails, trout rivers and a long drive to Rocky Mountain National Park’s Grand Lake side, Winter Park gives you plenty to choose from after your study day.

Near Winter Park Resort
Choose this area if you want the resort and its summer bike park close by. The tourism board lists resort condos, townhomes and homes here.
In the town of Winter Park
Choose this area if you want downtown shops and the Lift service nearby. The county tourism site lists hotels and lodges, cabins and vacation rentals for Winter Park.
Afternoons, travel and weather in Winter Park

Summer days average around 70°F with afternoon thunderstorms in the high country, fall and spring bring big swings between day and night, and winter brings heavy snow. Conferences are available all year.

Winter Park after your study day

Study days finish at 2:00 PM Winter Park time. The local tourism board’s one-day summer itinerary suggests a bike ride through town past its shops and scenery, fishing the Fraser River with gear from the rental shops in town, or a ride down the alpine slide at Winter Park Resort. Check the season dates for the slide and the bike park before you plan around them, and leave time for road conditions, which the county tourism site asks visitors to check before driving, especially over Berthoud Pass.

Travel, lodging and activity fees are arranged separately from your study plan. Your conference is built around your specialty and interests; the town is the setting you choose for it.

Bike trails, hikes and trout water

The tourism board says Bike Winter Park covers more than 600 miles of downhill, cross-country and paved trails, plus two lift-served bike parks. Trestle Bike Park at Winter Park Resort is a downhill park with trails for every skill level, and bikes can be rented on site.

For hiking, the board describes trails that run from Fraser Valley meadows and forests to alpine lakes near the Continental Divide. Vasquez Peak Wilderness has a 17-mile trail system rated moderate to difficult, reached from US 40. The Fraser and Upper Colorado rivers hold rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout, and local guides run trips. The alpine slide at Winter Park Resort rides the Arrow lift up and descends roughly 3,000 feet of track to the base, and a zip line operates in nearby Tabernash. Guest ranches near Winter Park offer horseback rides. Start hikes early, as the itinerary suggests, and treat the longer routes as outings for a day without a study session.

Arriving by train from Denver

If you would rather not drive up, a train serves the resort. The Amtrak Winter Park Express runs from Denver Union Station to Winter Park Resort, with an extra stop at Fraser-Winter Park, and takes about three hours each way. Amtrak’s page says it will be back for the 2026–2027 season, and the county tourism site describes it as seasonal.

The train passes through the Moffat Tunnel on the way up. Because it is seasonal and does not run every day, confirm the dates against your trip before you count on it for travel.

A longer day toward Grand Lake

Grand County’s tourism site lists Grand Lake among its communities, with fishing and snowmobiling among its activities. The National Park Service says the route to Rocky Mountain National Park’s Grand Lake entrance follows US 40 through Granby and then US 34. From I-70 west of Denver it is about 61 miles, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours.

The park service adds that US 40 can close or have restrictions in winter, and that Trail Ridge Road is closed from approximately mid-October through late May. That makes this a day to plan for summer, not something to squeeze in after 2:00 PM, and a reason to check the current road status first.

Museums, music and festivals

The tourism board’s activity list names the Headwaters Center in Winter Park and the Pioneer Village Museum in Hot Sulphur Springs among the area’s museums. It also lists a movie theater and bowling in Fraser and an indoor ice rink, the IceBox, at the Fraser Valley Sports Complex.

The county site lists live music at Hideaway Park and names the Blues From the Top Music Festival and the Rocky Mountain Wine Fest as signature events. Both are seasonal, so check dates before you build a trip around either. The summer list also includes rafting on the Colorado River, rodeo events and a long list of Grand County golf courses, all of which depend on the season and on booking with the operator.

When to visit Winter Park

The tourism board says summer highs average around 70°F, with afternoon thunderstorms at higher elevations, and that the area gets more than 300 days of sunshine a year. The resort records an average of more than 300 inches of snow a year, which makes winter the peak ski season.

The same page calls fall and spring the off season, with pleasant days but temperatures that can swing sharply between day and night. Bring layers whatever the month, and use the local forecast when you plan outdoor time.

Getting to Winter Park and your study setting

Denver International Airport (DEN) is the arrival point shown in this guide. Grand County’s tourism site calls it the main gateway, with shuttle services to the county, and lists Granby and Kremmling airports as smaller regional options. The county site says Winter Park is just 90 minutes from Denver. Once you are here, The Lift is a local transit service that links Winter Park Resort, downtown Winter Park, Fraser, Granby and Grand Lake.

The map shows straight-line distances from Shift’s designated center. These are orientation distances, not driving distances or travel-time estimates. Check your exact address against the conference’s check-in area before booking.

FAQ

How does a conference work?

Choose your destination, dates and specialty. Your program includes journal modules and scheduled presentations. Presentations start at their scheduled times, rather than on demand. Review the program before you confirm. See each step.

Why do I need to be at the destination?

Shift CME licenses educational content for live conferences at designated destinations. Those licenses restrict use to the conference location, so you need to be at your selected destination to participate. Presentations start at their scheduled times as part of your personalized program.

Where do I need to check in?

Select a destination from the destinations page. Check in once during your conference, within 20 miles of the destination’s designated center. Check-in is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM destination time on any study day. If you haven’t checked in by 10:00 PM on your last study day, no participation is recorded. Enable browser location access; if your phone can’t confirm your location, you can confirm it yourself when you check in.

How long is a study day?

Study days run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time, with presentations starting at scheduled times. That leaves the rest of the day to enjoy your destination.

What does it cost?

Membership is $999 a year (introductory price), plus applicable tax, and renews at $999 a year until you cancel. It includes 21 conference days a year. Each conference uses 1 to 7 conference days. Members can add days for $40 each. Without a membership, one conference of up to 7 study days is $349, paid before you create it. Read about membership.

Can I change a confirmed conference?

Before you confirm, you can swap or remove sessions, or regenerate the plan. Choosing Confirm and lock itinerary locks the program. To change it after that, cancel the conference and plan a new one. Cancelled or incomplete confirmed conferences keep their confirmation.
