Winter Park and Mary Jane received 16 inches of snow in one day, at the 5 a.m. reading, which was more than anyone else in Colorado Ski Country. The base at the summit of the mountain is just under the 100-inch mark.

It’s great snow for the upcoming Dummy Downhill Race March 29, where participants can see what kind of skier or boarder they can build and how far their contraption can make it over the big jump at the base. Guest Services has more info at 970-726-1564.
