Mountain bikers, trailer runners, hikers other and outdoor junkies can start making plans. Winter Park’s Trestle Bike Park will open on June 27. Most of Colorado’s ski resorts have been shut down for months. This has left adventure seekers of what summer resort access will look like.
Following state and county reopening guidelines, Winter Park Resort will open its gondola with access to mountaintop hiking trails. It will also open its base-area putting course and its Trestle Bike Park for summer guests. Additional base-area services, including various restaurants, bike rentals, and some retailers will also open. Guests can already make lodging reservations for resort-managed properties, which open today.
Winter Park Will Be Open Summer 2020
The resort will operate with “modified summer recreational offerings.” This means visitors can expect some modifications to help protect them, and employees, from COVID-19. (We outline these in detail below.)
But otherwise, the park will be open 7 days a week through Labor Day. For the remainder of September 2020, the resort will operate only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Trestle Bike Park Opens June 2020
At the core of Winter Park Resort’s summer activities is Trestle Bike Park. Tailored for both the downhill and all-mountain riders, Trestle Bike Park has 1,800 vertical feet of elevation drop and more than 45 miles of purpose-built trails.
Winter Park noted in a release that it will update lift and trail opening specifics in the coming weeks. Bike rentals and private lessons will also be available, and all bike park products, including passes and tickets, must be purchased 24 hours in advance.
“We’re excited to open for summer 2020 and to welcome guests back to the mountains we love,” said Sky Foulkes, president of Winter Park Resort.
“For 80 years, Winter Park has been inviting people to Venture Out, and after diligent work and creative thinking, our team has modified our operations to meet the new demands of outdoor recreation in the COVID-19 era.”
