Winter Park, COLO., (June 07, 2011) – Summer season at Winter Park Resort will officially open on June 11, 2011. All family base area activities will open, as scheduled, on Saturday at 10:00am. The Epic Singletrack Series will move forward with the first of seven races on June 11. However, due to significant snowpack, Trestle Bike Park opening will be postponed one week and will open on June 18.

Life returns to the resort and Village at Winter Park after two months of preparation for summer with 11 restaurants and 10 shops opening for the season. Family resort activities opening on June 11 include Colorado’s longest Alpine Slide, Mountainside Mini Golf, Amaze’n Human Maze, Leaps & Bounds Bungee, GyroEXTREME, Outdoor Climbing Wall, Kids’ Mini T-Bar Zip Line, Bouncy Snowcat and the Mary Jane Mine Company Mineral Panning.

The Trestle Bike Park Crew and Trestle Bike Patrol have been working diligently to clear snow from the bike trails and other areas of the mountain. Mother Nature has also helped the snowmelt in the past week with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. With continued warm weather and a tireless crew, Trestle will open below Five-Points on Saturday, June 18, 2011.
