WINTER PARK, COLO. (November 15, 2010) – For the 71st season, lifts will begin turning at Winter Park Resort at 9:00am on Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Due to significant early season snowfall and cold temperates resulting in high production of manmade snow, an increased amount of early season terrain is expected to open. Though terrain will be limited to select runs on Winter Park Mountain, top-to-bottom skiing and riding is anticipated by mid-day on opening day. Mary Jane will open on Saturday, November 20, with limited terrain. Guests are encouraged to call the snow report phone line (970) 726-SNOW (7669) or visit www.winterparkresort.com for up-to-date conditions, terrain openings, lift operations and program offers.
