As they make snow in the hopes of opening this month, Winter Park has released an update to their trail map. Following in the footsteps of Keystone and Steamboat, it seems like October is the month of the new trail maps!
Winter Park has two updates to their map. After teasing the expansion on last year’s map, Winter Park has included new hike-to terrain in The Cirque. This terrain was shown as closed on previous maps, but the map for this year features the extreme Jelly Roll glades. This terrain will be accessible for the first time this season (although an opening date is TBD).
Winter Park’s map also highlights the new Wild Spur Express lift. This update is definitely the bigger impact of the two, as this new high-speed 6-person lift replaces the old Pioneer lift (which was an ancient 4-person lift). While this new lift appears to have the same terminal and tower locations, the Wild Spur Express has added a mid-load station. This station will be a big quality of life improvement for snowboarders, as the return to the bottom of the lift is notoriously flat.
You can check out the full map below, or download a copy from Winter Park’s website. Winter Park is set to open “as early as possible” for this season, so keep an eye out for the opening announcement!
