Snow lovers looking forward to maximizing their slope time this February, can find their winter nirvana at Winterplace. The resort continues to provide families a healthy outdoor recreation destination. All-month long, visitors can look forward to plenty of Apres-ski offerings, family-friendly events, cost-saving specials, and plenty of snow.
“The winter season is in full swing at the resort,” said Josh Faber, general manager at Winterplace. “Our team works round the clock to take advantage of every snowmaking opportunity so we can continue serving up the fun for families all-season long.” Winterplace has a full calendar of events for families to take advantage of and plans to keep the slopes open for skiing and tubing as long as possible. Typically, the season goes into Mid-March if weather conditions permit.
February is a great time for ski enthusiasts to get out on the slopes and enjoy some fresh air and much-needed Vitamin D. Families looking to visit on less busy days will enjoy fewer crowds and save money, too, by taking advantage of lower Weekday rates. Tuesday through Wednesday lift tickets are just $60 for an adult ticket and $45 for a junior ticket. For those that want to maximize their day on the slopes Thursday through Monday, a lift ticket can be purchased for $83 for an adult and $59 for a junior, which also includes night skiing from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.
