If you’ve ever longed to go skiing or snowboarding after work or hit the slopes on a school night with kids, we have found the place for you. Ruby Hill Rail Yard is a one-of-a-kind urban snowsports terrain park in southwest Denver that has found a way to bring the mountains to the city.

City and County of Denver

Volunteers from Winter Park Resort bring smowmaking equipment and a snowcat to Ruby Hill and build the park, install the features (there are 13 boxes, rails, etc. this year), and complete the initial grooming. From there on out, Denver Park and Rec volunteers take over the maintenance of the park.

Entrance to the park is completely free, but you must bring your own equipment. There is no chairlift or rope tow available, so you do have to hike up the 250 ft. hill for your next run, but you'll soon discover that it's definitely worth the effort.
