Whether you’re a lover of soft spring bumps or a cruiser of corduroy, check out a few of our favorite springtime runs:

  • Mary Jane: a true classic and a must-do during a sunny spring day
  • Sleeper: a local favorite for good reason; the perfect place to lace some soft-snow carves

  • Outhouse: bump skiers, rejoice! Pick your line down this memorable favorite

With great skiing and even better vibes, spring brings with it everything we love about spending time out on the slopes. No matter if you’re planning on attending the last two days of Spring Bash + Splash, or you’re planning on partying into May at the Jane, Winter Park is a spring skier’s paradise.
