The Winter Alpine Slide

Longest Alpine Slide Colorado

Designed with breath-taking adventure and fun in mind, the slide zig-zags down the mountain for over 3,000 feet. 610 feet of that track is an exhilarating vertical drop that will leave children and adults alike screaming with glee. The ride features bobsleds on a smooth track for optimum speed on the attraction. However, each bobsled is equipped with a brake so that riders can comfortably adjust their speed on each curve and turn. This feature ensures safety and fun for your little riders, or a rip-roaring good time for your older crowds!

Riders access the Winter Alpine Slide by taking a scenic six-minute ride up the Arrow Chairlift. It is important to note that there is a limit of 2 riders per chair on the lift! They’ll be able to take in scenic views of Colorado and it’s beautiful landscape and the joyful shrieks of riders ahead of them as they climb the peak of the Winter Park Resort!
