Après Ski in WP: Pull Up a Chair and Soak Up the Sun on a Patio this Spring! 

It can feel like everyone comes out of hibernation when warmer weather and longer days grace the mountains each year! Instead of curling up by the fire with a puzzle, good book, glass of wine, or cup of hot tea after a day at the mountain, enjoying après ski outside on a sunny patio brings those spring skiing vibes we've been waiting for all winter. Don't get me wrong - I love taking advantage of the mid-winter snows and prime conditions at the mountain, but there is something just magical that happens when the temperatures tick up and we turn back the clocks every spring. The lost hour of sleep is well worth the exchange for that extra hour of sunshine each day.

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…

Consistent Snowfall + Strong Snowpack Throughout the 2022-23 Ski Season Leaves Winter Park Resort's Mary Jane's Closing Date TBD

Winter Park Resort boasts its 7 Territories across its 3,081 acres of terrain: Winter Park Territory, Vasquez Ridge, Parsenn Bowl, Terrain Park, Eagle Wind, The Cirque, and, what some might call the crown jewel of Winter Park: the Mary Jane. Endearingly referred to as "the Jane Side," its steep terrain covered in bumps makes the "No Pain, No Jane" stickers hit home for those who've spent a day skiing the Jane and woken up with legs that betray them. You might have even seen a "Don't Groom Mary Jane" bumper sticker or two around town - those who love the bumps can't get enough of them and don't want it any other way!

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…
