The Winter Park Magic Carpet is an important feature of the Winter Park ski resort in Colorado. This ski resort is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a variety of slopes and activities for all skill levels. The Magic Carpet, also known as a surface lift, is an easy and convenient way for beginners to access the slopes. The Magic Carpet is essentially a conveyor belt that transports skiers and snowboarders uphill. It is called a magic carpet because of its ability to effortlessly transport people without the need for a chairlift or gondola. This lift is especially beneficial for beginners who may not be comfortable using a chairlift yet.

Maury and the magic carpets are now as of 2017 reserved only for ski school but this small hill is free to kids and has plenty of room for parents and kids to flail, fall, instruct and hopefully get them standing on their own two skis. Both my parents teach skiing for the Eskimo Ski and Board Club a must check out if you live in the Denver Area what it means for us it that there is no hassle of carrying skis, getting ready, and storing stuff at the base.
This lift is especially beneficial for beginners who may not be comfortable using a chairlift yet. At Winter Park, the Magic Carpet is located in the Discovery Park area, which is specifically designed for children and beginners. It allows new skiers and snowboarders to practice their skills without having to navigate more challenging slopes.
Winter Park Recreation
Snow Tubing
The Winter Park tubing hill sponsered by Prevea Health has 5 runs each measuring approximately 450' with a 70' vertical drop.
There is no workout needed to get up the tubing hill as the Winter Park Association recently installed a state-of-the-art Magic Carpet, a standing-only conveyor belt, which transports tubers from the bottom of the hill to the top in less than 2-minutes.
We require single snow tube riders to be at least 42" tall for obvious safety reasons. We do not allow infants or young toddlers to be on snow tubes, even on a parent's or guardian's lap. Everyone must be able to ride up the Magic Carpet, standing-only conveyor belt, on their own. See the Winter Park rules for more information.

The Magic Carpet is a user-friendly option that provides a safe and comfortable experience for beginners. Using the Magic Carpet is simple. Skiers and snowboarders stand on a moving conveyor belt at the base of the slope. They hold onto a handle and allow the belt to carry them uphill. Once they reach the top, they can easily disembark and begin skiing or snowboarding down the designated beginner slopes. The Magic Carpet is not only convenient for beginners, but it also helps to reduce congestion on the chairlifts. By providing an alternative way to access the slopes, it allows for smoother traffic flow and shorter wait times for everyone. Overall, the Winter Park Magic Carpet is a valuable amenity for beginners at the ski resort. It offers a convenient and safe way to access the slopes and practice skiing or snowboarding skills. Whether you are new to the sport or simply prefer an easier way to get uphill, the Magic Carpet is a fantastic option to consider at Winter Park..
Reviews for "Off the Beaten Path: Discovering Winter Park's Secret Magic Carpet Routes"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - "I was really disappointed with my experience at Winter Peak Magic Carpet. The staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly, and they had a complete lack of organization. The lines were long and chaotic, and it felt like they were just herding people through without any regard for safety or efficiency. The carpet itself was also not very enjoyable. It was old and worn out, and it didn't glide smoothly like other magic carpets I've been on. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone."
2. Alex - 2 out of 5 stars - "Winter Peak Magic Carpet was a letdown for me. The equipment was in poor condition and looked like it hadn't been well-maintained. The staff seemed uninterested and didn't provide any helpful instructions. The carpet ride itself was lackluster, as it didn't have much speed or excitement. The prices were also quite high for what was offered. I really wanted to enjoy my time here, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations."
3. Laura - 2 out of 5 stars - "I had high hopes for Winter Peak Magic Carpet, but it didn't live up to the hype. The lines were ridiculously long, and the staff didn't seem to have a handle on crowd control. The carpet ride itself was underwhelming and didn't provide the thrill I was looking for. The area around the carpet was also not well-maintained, with trash and debris scattered around. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have very low expectations."
