6 new Colorado ski area attractions we can’t wait to try this winter

Snowmaking at some of Colorado’s ski resorts will begin any day now, and we’re counting down the hours to powder days, sweet turns, gorgeous views and fun with friends. But we’re also getting itchy to try some new resort attractions and amenities that are coming this winter.

Here’s a sampling of some of them:

Winter Park

Winter Park adds new terrain in the Cirque called “Jelly Roll” because of its steep rolling pitch. Resort officials say it’s in an area that tends to hold fluffy snow for days after storms exit. There is also new terrain in controlled avalanche chutes at Mary Jane; they’ll feature cliffs and pillow lines.
