Winter Park Resort announced to a select audience today that it will open skiing and snowboarding for the 2025-26 season at 1 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31. Lifts will close at 4 p.m.
Staffers and Winter Park snow report subscribers were the first to know with a 3 p.m email on Oct. 29. More details will be announced tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
This matches Winter Park’s earliest opening in history. The Grand County ski area also opened on Halloween in 2022. The Oct. 31 opening will make Winter Park the third resort to open in Colorado — and North America — after Keystone on Oct. 25 and Arapahoe Basin on Oct. 26.
