This is the most advanced terrain park at Winter park and this is where you will find the largest jumps and the most difficult features. Before you enter the park you will need to watch a short safety video and sign a waiver. This will allow you to obtain a special pass that will give you access to the Dark Territory terrain park.

The limited park access creates a safer environment and reduces the crowds in this terrain park. It is usually easy to ski through the park without having to stop and wait in line for any jumps.

This isn’t even the largest terrain park at Winter Park, but some of the features here are still bigger and better than the average ski resort in Colorado.
