Details

Winter Carnival has been a tradition at the University of Denver for over 60 years. It has been held at Keystone, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, and this year will again be held at Winter Park. This year we are not only offering your favorite on-mountain traditions such as skiing, snowboarding, and tubing, but also will be offering new activities as well! If you are not a fan of the cold weather, we will also be offering activities on campus! So stay or go, you are in for a fun weekend!

Registration forms can be completed for individuals and any guests they plan on bringing but all payment must be submitted at the end of registration. Individuals will have to pick up their packet (with tickets, vouchers, etc.) in person, and may pick up their guest's tickets at the same time. Please note that all sales are final and that students may not be refunded. Exceptions may be made in the case of emergency situations (determined on a case-by-case basis).

More information can be found on the Winter Carnival website (https://crimsonconnect.du.edu/dupb/how-to-winter-carnival/) or please email wintercarnival@du.edu
