Home » America » Winter Park
Winter Park's terrain offers skiing and 'boarding for all ability levels, radiating out from the base. Beginners are especially well catered for with Groswold's Discovery Park over to the right as you reach the base of the slopes. It's a huge fenced in area of gently sloping but interesting terrain especially for them. Intermediates have the most to enjoy of all - with long fast cruises like Cranmer and Mary Jane Trail, always perfectly groomed. It's also one of the few resorts to offer bowl skiing especially tailored for intermediates, rather than experts, in Parsenn Bowl. Although Winter Park already had a good reputation for expert level skiing on its notorious Mary Jane mountain, it has recently added much more. In the late 1990s the resort introduced the Vasquez Cirque terrain of 435 off-piste acres with a mix of steeps, glades and natural terrain variations. This area was extended with a further 252 acres of steep and deep terrain - the total now is 687 acres. The newest section includes trails with names like Alphabet Chutes, Shadow Chute and Belle Fourche stretching northwards from the entry to the Cirque. To reach this pristine terrain skiers and 'boarders have a 30 minute hike. The Winter Park Ski and Snowboard School has a vast array of tuition options on offer - many of them very innovative. The First Tracks private lesson starts at 8am and gives you access to the freshly groomed slopes before the lifts open. Or for $200 plus lab fees you get a three hour private session in 'The Performance Lab' where a 'biomechancial assessment' of your ability and equipment needs is carried out on and off the snow. Additional lab fees may be required to cover the cost of canting and foot beds if they're required. Cross country skiers have 200km (125 miles) of trails in the vicinity - primarily at the nearby Devil's Thumb Cross Country Center and the YMCA's Snow Mountain Ranch.
