Visiting Team Training at Winter Park

Private gate training space is available on several trails across the mountain. Additional trails open as snowmaking and conditions permit.

Training space will be available morning and afternoon for 2–3-hour time slots, and teams may request multiple lanes/sessions each day (subject to availability). In addition, teams will indicate their preference of SL or GS on their training reservation packet.

Early season camps are tentatively slated to begin the first Friday in November. The actual first on-snow date is dependent on snowmaking, natural snow, and other operational considerations.
