Winter Park Resort hosts some of the best contests around!

In 2012, Winter Park Resort will host some of the best terrain park events to help you progress to the next level of competition. From the King of the Grommets, which can give you bragging rights at school, to USASA Slopestyle events that can qualify you for the USASA National Championships, our freeride events support your level of riding.

New this year! King of the Grommets events will feature 3 age classes – 10 and under, 11-13 and 14-15 year old age classes. Riders can battle it out in Re-railer for the podium, prizes and the glory. Next generation park riders have two chances to prove who is King (and Queen) of Re-railer terrain park.
