NEW THIS SEASON

“Over the summer we’ve taken the time to improve on what we feel is already the best, concentrating on snowmaking and trail maintenance.”

Both terrain parks, Sidewinder Park and Terrain Run have been TOTALLY REDESIGNED to provide skiers and riders with two of the most thrilling terrain parks in the area.

Last season during Mid-Winter Lower Sidewinder was turned into a Snowcross trail. Due to its popularity it will continue to be a Snowcross trail connecting Sidewinder Park and Terrain Run.

Valley School West teaching hill will have TWO lifts: the triple chairlift and a new conveyor lift.

NASTAR Races every Thursday night and Sunday afternoon (Check the Calendar of Events for dates & times).

“ProLog Unleashed” now enables our 2 lodges to be wireless so that you can be “connected” while enjoying the winter fun.”
