Candlelight Ski Events
Want to experience Winter Park at its most unique time? Join us for a magical candlelight ski along the beautiful, and family-friendly, Silver Strider and Tower Rd ski trails. Two routes will be lit by nearly 400 candle luminaries: 3km out and back to the Tea House and 4km out and back to the Nature Shelter. Take a break and warm up by the cozy campfires and enjoy hot chocolate at both locations.

Candlelight Snowshoe Events
Follow the candles up to the top of Squirrel Hill and, with luck, there should be great stargazing! Warm up at the bonfires at the top and bottom of the hill and stop by the fire at Wolf’s Den shelter for some hot chocolate and marshmallows. The lit route is about a mile long with a shorter, flatter, option available.
