There is no better destination in the spring than Winter Park. We offer a last chance for winter sports along with other fun outdoor activities to enjoy in the sunshine. Take a look at the best outdoor activities that you can find here on your Winter Park spring adventure.
Last Chance for Skiing
With a name like Winter Park, you can expect that the winter season is our most popular time to visit. It is no secret that Winter Park is home to some of the best skiing here in the state of Colorado. Our ski season kicks off early, usually around November, and has an exceptionally late season, closing near the end of May. This makes our ski season a lot longer than other ski destinations around the country. Your spring visit can bring you the last opportunity to have to hit the slopes before the snow melts away for the year. Winter Park Resort is your top destination for skiing in the area and will provide you with the best experience. Winter Park Resort offers various different slopes of all experience levels for you to enjoy. Multiple ski lifts around the property make it easy to reach your next slope quickly. Winter Park Resort also makes sure you are ready for your next visit. Stop by the rental shop to pick up all the gear you need including boards, skis, boots, bindings, and more. The resort also offers onsite lessons to help you get your bearings before hitting the slopes. Winter Park Resort offers all kinds of events and activities throughout the spring making it easy to see why a stop here is needed.
Ice Skating
Another great activity that is typically reserved for the winter around the country is ice skating. You can continue to enjoy ice skating here at Winter Park Resort during your spring visit. You will find this activity available at the base of the mountain, located in the Village. Ice skate rentals are available on site letting you pick up a pair and quickly hit the ice. You will also find Glow Night Ice Skating available all season long that brings out neon lights around the pond for a unique experience found only at Winter Park Resort.
Hit the Hot Springs
The spring season is a great time to venture outside of Winter Park and see the nearby areas. Treat yourself to some hot springs when you Hot Sulphur Springs Resort. They are just a half an hour drive from Winter Park and feature 21 different natural hot springs. The spring hours are from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week letting you take a moment to soak up the hot water and feel completely relaxed. You will find the water to be the perfect temperature of around 95 to 112 degrees. Warm up this spring season with a trip to the hot springs.
Go Tubing at Coca Cola Tube Hill
If your family is not into skiing or you have a young member of your family looking to have some fun, consider taking them to Coca Cola Tube Hill. This area of Winter Park Resort features a spacious hill where you can enjoy downhill tubing. This is a thrilling experience perfect for all ages who can enjoy the rush of going downhill without needing to be on skis. You can even find Night Tubing that runs until the end of March every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday here at Coca Cola Tube Hill from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Similar to night ice skating this experience brings out the lights for a fun experience found nowhere else!
Take Out the Mountain Bike
Once the spring season stats to warm up even more you will begin to notice trails that were once covered in snow. This time of year is popular for mountain bikers to bring out their bikes and hit the trails for a lot of fun. Winter Park features over 600 miles of mountain biking trails that easy to find and navigate. You will even find family friendly trails including the Fraser River Trail perfect for all ages.
