Ski Snow Summit

The nice thing about Snow Summit is the range of challenges with a perfect family oriented spread from low to intermediate as well as some really challenging areas. Seventy five percent of the slopes are good for first timers, beginner and intermediate skiers and about 25 percent of the mountain will delight advanced skiers.

Snow Summit has a top elevation of 8200 and base of 7000. That’s a 1200 drop for those of you keeping count, with 18 miles of ski-able area. The exciting news that there are special classes and accommodations for physically and mentally challenged sports folk!

The resort is proud of its grooming and 100 annual inches of real snow supplemented with hundreds of hydrants and snow guns blasting out powder late into the year across fully developed terrain. Snow Summit's board parks include Fun zone – for beginners with jib structures and Ego Trip for the edgier advanced skiers.

Lessons start as young as 4 years for ski, 5 for boarding. Apparently it’s (never too early for fun.) and you save money on lesson packages.
