Winter
Park
Why
to go
Winter Park has an excellent snow record of big dumps
of dry powder on a regular basis across the 5 connected
mountain areas of Winter Park, Mary Jane, Vasquez
Ridge, Parsenn Bowl and Vasquez Cirque. Each area
provides it own unique terrain ranging from gentle
groomed trails through to wide open bowls and steep
and deep bumps. Mary Jane with the motto “No
Pain, No Jane” offers some of America’s
best bump skiing.
Winter
Park town area is divided into two parts separated
by a 5 minute drive, with a small number of accommodation
and shops at the base of the resort and the larger
full featured town of Winter Park below holding a
good selection of entertainment, dining, bars and
shopping all serviced by a free shuttle bus.
Do not miss
Timberline Chair offering a plethora of routes on
Parsenn Bowl and Vasquez Cirque through largely open
powder fields and some magnificent views.

largest passenger train in the US carrying over 750
passengers from Denver’s Union Station directly
to Winter park in just over 2 hours.

Hot Tip
Parking at the base of Mary Jane on powder days and
taking the Summit Express can help you get a head
start on those heading for Parsenn Bowl area.
Get away from the crowds early on powder days and
have the gentle powder groomers around the Pioneer
Express chair all to yourself.
