Spring Time in Winter Park
Spring time in Winter Park and Fraser Valley. This is a great time of year to visit Winter Park because of warmer temperatures and longer days! Spring forward is a hard to get used to but it sure is nice that it get darker later!
Spring time can bring either warm sunny days or big snowstorms with lots of new powder to play in. After a big snowstorm rolls through Winter Park, Colorado, the next day is beautiful with plenty of sun and fresh snow that blankets all the old snow in glittering white diamonds effect.
Skiing and Snowboarding
Visitors flock to the mountains in the spring not only because of spring break but because it’s the best time to be on the slopes! Average day temps are in the 30’s with plenty of sunshine. Winter Park Resort and Granby Ranch are the local resorts that offer over 3,487 acres of skiable terrain.
SnowTubing
Visitors actually come to the Winter Park and Fraser, Colorado just for snow tubing! With three different tubing hills, there is endless fun! The great thing about tubing is it does not require any special skill and is for the entire family or a big group of people. Groups love to hold on to each other’s tubes and speed down the hill with screams, laughs and selfie sticks recoding the fun.
Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing
