Winter Park Resort Last Day of Ski Season 2013

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Chris

Winter Park Resort Spring Splash

Spring has arrived and that means we are looking forward to some great warm weather skiing and the alway fun end-of-ski-season Splash. Lets not count the ski season over yet, as the forecast is calling for a wet and snowy spring here in Winter Park. But it may be time to make plans to for your spring trip up to Winter Park and Mary Jane.

The closing of ski season 2012/13 is April 21 and that is known as Splash here in the Fraser Valley. Haven’t been to splash? Well, you are seriously missing out! Check out the photo above. That is Winter Park Lodging Company’s own Billy making his way completely across the skimming pond at the bottom of Winter Park Resort last year.

At the Mary Jane base is the edgier part of splash with all the Winter Park locals and C-lot veterans giving it their all to celebrate a ski season coming to an end. There will be a stage over in C-lot with local musicians providing entertainment. The celebrations will go into the night as stated it can get on the edgier side. Over at Winter Park base the family friendly affair is a great celebration for the kids with pond skimming and live music. Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will be headlining Springtopia on Sunday

Winter Park Resort is calling Splash weekend Springtopia but we will here just keep it to “Splash”. Springtopia is the whole closing weekend of Winter Park/Mary Jane. Julian Marley & the Uprising will be headlining the Saturday concert at Winter Park base.

So spring is here, it is time to get your Winter Park Resort lodging plans set to send this ski season off with a bang and get ready for opening day of next ski season.

Winter Park Spring Splash

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Chris

Spring Splash at Winter Park Resort

The Coca Cola® Spring Splash is April 22nd this year celebrating the end of the 72nd ski season at Winter Park Resort. Spring Splash is a party at both sides of the Resort at Winter Park and Mary Jane.

On the Winter Park side:

Winter Park Resort’s Coca-Cola® Spring Splash is the oldest tradition of its kind and on its 44th year. Athletes begin at noon as spectators watch skiers and riders struggle through obstacles on the Larry Sale trail race course and attempt to skim across an icy pond to reach the finish line and post a time. Live music sets the tone for a closing day party that is fun for everyone! This is a family friendly fun time with music, giveaways with a festival like atmosphere.

On the Mary Jane Side:

It is rockin’ with a center stage and makeshift tail gate parties that lasts from early in the day till past sundown. Lots of locals sharing their best bbq, adult beverages and celebrating the end to another ski season is what you get at the Challenger lift just up from the base of Mary Jane. Jane side is not for the faint of heart as you will see all the good and bad of the youthful ski culture of today.

Make sure to get your spot picked out early on either the Winter Park or Mary Jane side as there is a very large crowd on both sides by 11am.

Looking for Winter Park Spring Splash lodging be sure to book now to get your first choice of accommodations.

Check out some of our photos from last years Winter Park Resort spring splash celebration. A whooping good time with sun and snow throughout the day.

The blues are BACK in Winter Park!

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Chris

If you’re a fan of the fantastic live Blues shows that Grand County Blues Society hosts in Winter Park, it’s been a long couple of months for you waiting for the next show. We’re in luck though: this FRIDAY, November 11th at 9PM, Smokin’ Moes welcomes back Samantha Fish and Kate Moss for a night of rockin’ blues! Samantha Fish will be jamming on her guitar as if she’s been playing for a liftetime instead of less than a decade, and will be accompanied by special guest Kate Moss. We’ll likely hear a lot of music off Samantha’s first solo album released in April, called Runaway.

American Blues News reviewed one of her songs, 4 Non-Blondes, as being part Rolling Stones, part John Lee Hooker, and part Dukes of Hazzard car chase. In other words, Samantha knows how to play the blues, and we’re guaranteed another amazing show this Friday. Kate Moss will certainly only add to the party; she’s no stranger to the guitar herself. With these two on stage together, be ready to dance.

One added bonus: the Blues Society is kind enough to appreciate Verteran’s Day at the show, so any Verteran plus one guest will get into the show FREE! Guess what else? If you’re a guest of Winter Park Lodging Company, mention it at the door and your ticket will be on the house too! If you didn’t book with us this time, your ticket is $10, but it’s for a good cause: the Grand County Blues Society is a non-profit, so all the cash they collect at the door goes toward keeping Blues in the School and Blue Star Connection successful programs. Plus, our donations and ticket purchases help us to to keep bringing great live blues music back to Winter Park as often as we can. So, after you’re done waxing your skis for the early opening of Winter Park Resort this Saturday, come out to Smokin’ Moes for a great night with us. Want to make a weekend out of it? Give Winter Park Lodging Company a call to set up your lodging, lift tickets, ski rentals, and some free tickets to a great show!
