When does the area open/close for the season?
We usually open around mid December and our typical closing date is early March. We open as soon as we have made enough snow to cover most of the trails. The opening and closing dates vary depending on the weather. (Always check our website for the most current snow report.)

Do you have a beginners package?
If you are new to snowsports, we want to give you some tips to get started out right, and on the fast-track to having a good time on the snow. Our goal is to help you discover the fun of sliding on the snow, learning to control your speed and making those first turns. Consider taking a lesson. Lessons are 50 minutes long, taught on the hour, for ages 4 and up. Learn more about lessons.
Do you offer group rates?
Group rates are available for both skiing and snowboarding. Groups of 15 or more receive discounts. You must book your group trip at least two days in advance. See Group Rates. Registrations are limited so book early!
