Spring, Venture Out

10 Reasons to Make Winter Park Resort Your Spring Break Destination

If seeking out mountains for spring break is wrong, we don’t want to be right (but we’re pretty sure we’re right about this one)! With blue skies, great snow, and warmer temperatures, you can find a variety of adventures, jaw-dropping scenery, and an easygoing vibe all vacation long. From Glow Night Tubing to Mountaintop Après, there are more than 100 things to do on and off the slopes, but here are our top 10 reasons to book spring break at Winter Park.

  1. The snow is great! Winter Park is known for having some of the most consistent snowfall in the state (humble brag), so we keep cruising well into spring. Our base sits at 9,000 feet with 3,060 feet of vertical rise (which puts our summit at a cool 12,060 feet for all the math aficionados out there). But don’t worry, there’s also plenty of sunshine to go around.

From skiing and snowboarding to snowshoeing, daytime tubing, and more, you’ll make memories from sunup to sundown.

Load up the Gondola and coast to the top of the mountain for springtime alpenglow views, make s’mores in a firepit, go cosmic with Glow Night Tubing and Glow Night Ice Skating, jump into a snowcat for a sunset cruise around the mountain, or even stargaze with one of our astronomy tours!

Our resort is surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine wilderness and public land. So, hop in your car and take a short trip to see the Continental Divide from a new angle and maybe even spot some wildlife along the way (keep your eye out for moose, bighorn sheep, elk, and more!). Then, you’ll still have plenty of time for a cozy dinner and a soak in the hot tub once you get back.
