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!
MARY JANE OPEN "ALAP"
While the Winter Park Territory official celebrates its April 23 closing day with its annual Spring Splash, Mary Jane's closing date remains to be determined, "ALAP" according to the resort. With this year's strong snowpack, they plan to stay open "as late as possible." Winter Park and the Fraser Valley continue to receive consistent snowfall, and the resort currently has a solid base of nearly six feet (a gift to those who can't get enough of the snow and much to the chagrin of those who are ready to get on their mountain bikes!). They "anticipate a closing day well into May and possibly beyond."
So be prepared to enjoy plenty of slushy spring bump skiing this year!
MARY JANE CLOSING DAY CELEBRATION
While the annual pond skim marks closing day on the "Park Side," an all day celebration based in the C-Lot (at the base of the Challenger lift) complete with live music from local musicians, tailgating, quick laps between sets, and corn hole on the "snow beach" are staples of the Jane's closing day. Costumes abound and enthusiasm is high as the resort officially stops turning lifts for the season.
GETTING LAPS IN AFTER CLOSING DAY?
Even with the season end projected to fall well into spring, you might still be looking to take a few more turns before you hang up your skis for the season. You're in luck - uphill access is still available on Mary Jane's Sleeper after the official season ends.
