Winter Park
Sprawling across 3,081 acres of Colorado's stunning Rocky Mountains, Winter Park Resort has been thrilling skiers and snowboarders since 1940. With seven distinct territories offering terrain for every skill level, from gentle learning slopes to heart-pumping extreme terrain, Winter Park combines authentic mountain character with modern amenities. The resort's legendary Mary Jane territory is particularly famous for its challenging moguls and tree runs.
Winter Park's network of 23 lifts efficiently connects all corners of this vast mountain playground. The 10-person Gondola whisks you from the base to the heart of the mountain in minutes, while high-speed six-person chairs like the Super Gauge Express and Panoramic Express access prime skiing terrain. Our lift system can transport over 40,000 riders per hour, ensuring more time on the slopes and less time in line.
