Skiing and Snowboarding at Winter Park

Tucked into the Rocky Mountains, Winter Park is a charming town with a big reputation. It's twice been named the #1 Ski Resort in North America by USA Today, and has gathered accolades aplenty who flock to its snowy slopes. And with more than 3,000 acres of trails, moguls, and runs, it's easy to see why it's so popular!

Let's cover a few of the activities you can partake in at Winter Park.

Skiing and Snowboarding

Visitors come from far and wide to shred the slopes at Winter Park. With well over 100 runs, this ski resort has an option for everyone. While the black diamond slopes are the most advanced, there are also elementary and intermediate slopes. And if you don't have skiing or snowboarding experience, you can book private or group lessons to receive training from experts.

If you need gear, the rental shop at the base can easily provide everything you need.

Snowshoe Tours

With several feet of powdery snow during winter, Winter Park is an ideal location for snowshoeing. Never tried snowshoeing? It requires a bit of training, but once you get the hang, you can float effortlessly on top of the snow. Several tours are offered at Winter Park, including a nature tour, summit tour, and twilight tour.

Ski Bike Tours

A popular new way to hit the slopes is on a ski bike. This activity takes a bit of skill but is an exciting athletic adventure for those looking to speed on the snow.

Ice Bumper Cars

Blending the best of both worlds, ice bumper cars pair a favorite amusement park activity with the snowy mountains of Colorado. Visitors can book a 15-minute time slot to engage in ice bumper cars at Winter Park.
