The longest Winter Park straight run is about 2 miles. Combine that with Mary Jane's 4.5 miles of runs and Vasquez Ridge's 1.4 mile run, you have a total downhill trail of 5.1 miles. The resort has developed 121 different trails on 1,413 developed acres out of the total 7,651 acres which the U.S. Forest service has granted permits to develop.
Snowboarders can glide the rails at the various new snowboard stations.
This season they can choose between two terrain Parks with great snowboarding trails. Skiers and snowboarders revel at riding to their own rhythms in the bumps of Mary Jane, which features challenging runs for skiers and doubles as a favorite rendezvous point for snowboarders. Mary Jane does have trails for beginners, but it is best known for its long steep trails and moguls. The legendary bump runs and steep tree skiing have shaded Mary Jane's reputation with some notoriety among the cognoscenti. Those who like long steep trails but prefer to avoid moguls may have bypassed Mary Jane, but that's changing.
