Acknowledging Native Land

In collaboration with indigenous and native skiers and outdoor industry leaders, Winter Park wrote its land acknowledgment statement as a foundational step toward recognizing the role native and indigenous people play in our past, present and future connection to the land and water. The statement was developed with the understanding that the land on which we now recreate is historical and ancestral land originally belonging to native and indigenous people and nations, including Northern Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute tribes.
