From Cheshire Cat Grins to Cannonball Bumps: My Favorite Names on the Winter Park Trail Map

What’s in a name? If you’ve skied Winter Park Resort, you’ve likely noticed that the names of the ski runs are (quite literally) all over the map. From Jabberwocky to Derailer to Balch, there’s a method to the madness - and they make for great lift conversations!

From runs in the Eagle Wind Territory paying homage to the Indigenous land the resort sits on, to silly, tongue-in-cheek names like Drunken Frenchman, to a host of runs inspired by Alice in Wonderland, there’s no shortage of names to talk about and speculate on their roots. At Winter Park, a run name might have come from a founder’s whim, have grown organically from ski patrol or die-hard skiers,…

Soak in Grand County's Winter Wonderland on a Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride

There's nothing like a horse-drawn sleigh ride complete with jingling bells to get you in the holiday spirit! It is a truly magical and festive experience - a unique way to take advantage of this winter wonderland we call home. Snuggle in under warm wool blankets as you tour through pristine alpine meadows and woodlands, drift through crisp pine-scented air, and soak in the beauty of the mountain scenery as snow blankets the ground. Most rides end with hot chocolate around the outdoor fire when you return to the stables, a quintessential way to  wrap up the winter fun. We love this family-friendly option for enjoying the snow at a different pace! 

And it isn't just a holiday…
