Denver, Colorado, Parkrats who don’t want to face the I-70 nightmare now have a terrain park a little closer to home. Ruby Hill Railyard in Denver is now open to snowboarders and skiers and features 11 rails and boxes of varying configurations and skill levels.
This terrain park can be found off South Platte River Drive and West Florida Avenue in the Mile High City and is free to use.
“Rubyhill railyard is now OPEN!! Crazy to think we can open with the snow drought this year! The volunteers killed it! Snowmaking went incredible! Thank you.”

Ruby Hill Rail Yard was created in 2007 as a joint effort between Denver Parks and Recreation and Winter Park Resort to offer an urban winter sports experience and has been open every year since.
Ski and snowboard rentals are offered on weekends from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. or until sunset. Sledding is only allowed in the designated tubing area, not in the Rail Yard. Ruby Hill Park, located near South Platte River Drive and West Jewell Avenue, is open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. However, lighting at the Rail Yard is temporarily unavailable due to electrical work, so visitors should avoid using the hill after dark. Volunteers will be on-site during daylight hours for maintenance and assistance.
