Official Winter Carnival 2026 Sign-ups

The chilly gusts of wind and piles of snow on the ground can only mean one thing, Winter Carnival is here! This is the official registration page for our various ticket pickups, including bus tickets to get up to Winter Park, ski lift tickets, and tubing tickets. More details about the time to come! As we get closer to Winter Quarter, please look out for the other Crimson Connect Pages under the Winter Carnival categories for details regarding on-campus events.

Buses will take students up to Winter Park on Friday (early AM) and Saturday (early AM), and return students to campus on Saturday (evening) and Sunday (mid-day). Tickets will be available for you to buy at a very discounted price.
