Every Friday night at 6 PM, the slopes come alive for Friday Night Gates — Winterplace’s all-new race league for skiers and snowboarders (ages 18+) who crave a little friendly competition (and a lot of fun).
Each week, racers will go head-to-head on a different slope, testing their speed, skill, and stoke. Whether you’re chasing milliseconds or just out for bragging rights, every run counts — and so do the prizes.
🏁 Weekly Winners: Top finishers each Friday take home awesome prizes and earn World Cup Points toward the season standings.
🏆 Grand Champion: At the end of the series, the racer with the most points will claim the Friday Night Gates Grand Prize and ultimate mountain glory. Grand Prize Winners will have their name featured on
So grab your crew, wax your boards, and join the race.
Because when the lights come on, Friday nights mean gates, speed, and good vibes.
