Winter Park Winter Carnival (Jan. 22-24, www.skiwinterpark.com) – At Winter Park and Mary Jane Ski Resort, the three-day fest includes on-snow activities such as free bump-skiing tips, retail and rental gear specials, an interpretive snowshoe hike, snowskating, human bowling, snow golf, dog sled races, geocaching and a skijoring clinic. Kids can enjoy dog sled rides, a play zone, and campfires with s’mores and hot chocolate.
There’s also a dog agility demonstration and an evening parade down Main Street, followed by fireworks and birthday cake to celebrate Winter Park Resort’s 70th anniversary. In the Grand Park development in nearby Fraser, carnival-goers will find the Grand Park Dog Days of Winter, complete with sled dog races, skijoring (and clinics). A snowshoe race will benefit Grand County Pet Pals, a non-profit organization dedicated to responsible pet ownership, animal health and education programs, and spaying/neutering.
Indoors, the 26th annual Chef’s Cup Dinner Dance will take place the evening of Jan. 22, benefiting the Winter Park Competition Center youth ski and snowboard programs. Visitors can enjoy a pancake breakfast Jan. 23, après-ski events on each day, live music and a silent auction benefitting Grand County Pet Pals.
