Winter Park Resort: Splashing into Spring Since the '60s

It really doesn't get much better than spring skiing. Bluebird skies, longer days, warmer weather, and slushy snow bring fewer layers, fun costumes, and contagious smiles. We still get those spring-storm powder days, but the higher daytime temperatures give us the best of both worlds. Pull up a beach chair in the snow to bask in the warmth of the mountain sun. Add in a little live music at Winter Park Resort, and you get mountain living at its best. 

The palpable enthusiasm standard for this time of year isn't anything new: skiers have been taking advantage of spring weather, complete with wild outfits and thrill-seeking celebrations, for decades. And what would closing day be without…

Soak in the Last Days of Summer over Labor Day Weekend in Winter Park!

As we close in on September, we know fall and all its glory is around the corner. The days are getting shorter, and if you're looking closely, you'll see yellow leaves replacing the summer green here and there. Labor Day weekend typically marks the unofficial end of summer: school starts, weekly seasonal events come to an end, and local businesses adjust their hours of operation as we settle into a slower pace here in Grand County.

But if you're in town over the holiday, there are still plenty of events and outdoor opportunities to close out the summer season! We really think Labor Day weekend doesn't get much better than it does in Grand County. This year, the long…

Big Snows, Bluebird Days + A Calendar Full of Events Make Winter Park Your Go-to for Celebrating Spring Mountain-Style

Spring might mean daffodils and tank tops in other parts of the country. Here in Grand County, we live it up with après skis on a patio or soaking in the view of the "Bear Claw" while kick backed in a sun chair outside Lunch Rock. But we might be wearing tank tops (and snow pants) if that mountain sun is hitting just right!

Spring in the high country is about as good as it gets. As we thaw out from winter, the enthusiasm for getting on the mountain and enjoying the warmer weather is in the air throughout the valley. Something about the longer days, big snows, and (relatively) balmy 40-degree temperatures brings out the festive…

Enjoy Après Ski at 10, 700ft at Winter Park's Sunspot Mountaintop Lodge

The committed get up (and often drive up) early to get "first chair" on a powder day. First tracks on a blanket of snow have been likened to the "backstage pass" of skiing, and if you've ever had the privilege, you know there's truly nothing like it. While there's stiff competition for the coveted first chair, there isn't typically as much hype around "last chair"--until you start taking advantage of mountaintop après at Winter Park Resort's Sunspot Mountaintop Lodge! When all the other lifts have stopped turning for the day, the Gondola keeps running so that you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind après ski experience at Sunspot's Mountaintop Après. Live music, signature cocktails,…
