Alpine Ski and Snowboard at Winter Park Resort
As Winter Park's first ski-in/ski-out resort, we've carved an intimate niche into the Arapaho National Forest at the foot of Winter Park and Mary Jane. Tucked away, our location offers the illusion of seclusion. We make it easy to enjoy a hassle-free ski or snowboard holiday with on-site gear rental, free ski storage and, of course, Winter Park's prime ski-in/ski-out location.
Cross-Country Skiing (Nordic)
Fraser Valley's is a Nordic skiing mecca. Never tried it? A beginner lesson is fun for both kids and adults. In addition to Nordic centers, the Fraser Valley features miles of backcountry trails just minutes away from the Iron Horse. Ask us about trails and ski rentals.
