Mountain and Condo

Where do I start with this place? Ever since I got here it has been living hell fire, ranging from terrible ski slopes, terrible service, outstandingly terrible layout of this park. This morning I got woken up by the fire alarm just to find out the fireman telling me it was a fire drill.
The slopes all are closed yet we’re getting almost a foot of snow every day, yet the slopes that are open now are short and none are in my difficulty area and the ones that are challenging only go on for about 30 seconds before I need to take the lift up again to go down.

Another thing about this place that is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS is the food, and the service of the workers at the ski rental and workers at the lifts. I have not found one person this trip who has made me enjoy my stay here at Winter Park. As these things have been said this is my very last time and all my relatives, family, friends, my friends friends, my friends family’s, VERY last time coming or even thinking about coming to winter park. On that note you will never hear or see me ever again come close to this living hell hole that they call winterpark.

Was the bargain of Colorado until new ownership took over

We skied Winter Park for 18 years without missing a year. The skiing experience on Mary Jane mountain was absolutely wonderful, with tree covered glades (but not too tight, just right). Free shuttle service to everywhere. The Vintage hotel became our standard place to stay. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else but Winter Park. They had a 4 day pass that was so reasonable we couldn't believe it. This was the bargain of the skiing sport! UNTIL:

I guess all good things have to end. Winter Park ended for us about 2 years ago when it was sold to "new enthusiastic" owners. Enthusiastic about making money, apparently. A stay at the Vintage hotel would now cost just about exactly TWICE what it did two years ago. The four day pass which we initially purchased for $179 would now cost $499! As best I can tell (their web site is as difficult to interpret as most are these days) seems to indicate that equipment rentals are about twice as expensive as well.

Overall, a ski trip that cost about $1100 two or three years ago would cost about $2500 now.

Winter Park, we love you and it was a great ride, but it's over for us. You are obviously catering to a much richer class of people that us working folks from Arkansas.

Just returned from a week skiing in Winter Park. I can safely say that we all had a great time. The snow was excellent, the runs were beautiful, lift lines were non -existant. Ski rentals were great , quality was very good. Boots were comfortable!.

Winter Park is such an amazing resort in Colorado. The transportation at Winter park is unusual. You can come to Winter Park by train that drops you right off at the base of the mountain right by the Gondola. The cabriolet is always fun to ride and the snow tubing is a blast also. There is also ice skating and a cute village town at the bottom. The restaurant by the Cabriolet serves okay pizza and good refreshments.

I dont know what happened to Winter Park. They have discontinued their free child pass with the purchase of an adult pass. The fee for a day are now $169 at the door. The discounts are a joke. the EPIC pass is way to expensive. We bought 5 for 4 passes, but blackouts are christmas, MLK and president days. there are no buddy passes.
I skied here for years. It is sad how the maintenance has declined, and the anti-resort feel is now a FULL RESORT. I yearn for the old days when Winter Park encouraged local Denver families to ski at their resort. Unfortunately, I will need to move on and stop skiing.

There is no place to teach your own small kids to ski here. They have some fantasy that I'm going to be taking my 3 yr old on a chairlift to discovery park. THAT'S WHAT A BUNNY HILL IS FOR!!! I have no idea what would cause a family establishment to be so harsh to families trying to teach their own kids to ski as to close down the only magic carpet area and charge hundreds of dollars for a ski school lesson for access. Every other resort on earth has a bunny hill that doesn't require a chairlift ride. You boneheads.

Beginners not welcome - Stay away

Rene Lindsay

Winter Park used to be a great place for beginners to ski, but not anymore. The beginners slope, and magic carpet area, known as Sorensen park is no longer open to the public, except between 15h30 and 16h15, which is not worth the trip, or the price of renting ski's. It has now been taken over by the ski-school, like a bunch of thugs. When my 8-year old daughter tried to use the magic carpet, these ski-school thugs shouted, and ganged up on her and forced her to leave, making her cry. All-and-all, a very unpleasant experience.

Winter Park/Mary Jane Review

Jacob
25/12/2016
Honestly, I can't see myself skiing another mountain as a local. The lift prices are 50 bucks less than Breck or Vail for a day, season passes are half the pass (WP is $309 for a student, $609 for epic local). I also love the anti-resort vibe. Yes, there's a resort at the bottom of WP, but its small and not really much there compared to Breck or Vail. Everyone is there to do one thing, ski.

There's always a party at the Jane Lot and they always have the consistent snowfall and tree/bump runs that all of us love. Its a non-pretentious vibe that we have all grown to love. On the weekend, lift lines are never that bad compared to other resorts and and its really cool to see all the disabled skiers (WP is the home mountain of NSCD) flying down runs way faster than you ever will. Additionally, if you have little ones or someone just learning, WP has all the terrain they need and going from peak to peak is super easy. To me WP is a skiers mountain, not the basic, pretentious resort with everybody and their brother at Vail because they want to spend $1000 on a spa day after their one day of skiing greens.

Us Winter Park/Mary Jane skiiers are loyal and we go A LOT. I grew up on this mountain and the family friendly, cheap mountain, with tons of real locals is enough to keep me coming back year after year.

Winter Park '13 - '14

Snow last year at Winter Park was record breaking and everybody knew it. From January onward the resort was jam-packed full of people to the point of taking away from some of the fun. During this time I discovered the eastern generally empty portion of the park and the off-the-beaten path lines through the trees which is really a hidden gem.
