New this ski season, Winter Park Resort is unveiling a $37 million snow-making upgrade – the resort’s first major update since the original system was installed back in the late 1970s. The new system will make snow much more efficiently and will provide the resort with more flexibility to open more terrain sooner, Mother Nature willing.
Additionally, this season’s visitors can expect new products for beginners and families –– Winter Park Resort is rolling out a learn-to-ski guarantee. By the end of your third lesson, if you can’t ski the 10 identified green trails, your fourth lesson is on Winter Park Resort. The resort is also introducing “Kids Ski Free” where kids signed up for a lesson get a free lift ticket, and they get free rentals with an adult three-day rental package.
