  • Ski Hill - Downhill Skiing & Snowboarding
    Whitetail Ridge challenges skiers of all ages, from the novice to the experienced on the slopes supported by the National Ski Patrol.  Enjoy downhill slopes with a vertical drop of over 185 feet.  A self loading T-bar serves the slopes where the longest run is 1,300 feet.  Snowboarding your thing?  Come check out the terrain park!
  • Snow Tubing
    Grab a tube and head down the 800' long slope, it's sure to be a thrill!  The tubing area has it's own tow rope, so the ride up is just as fun!  Must be 38" tall.  Plus there is a warming hut at the bottom of the hill - to keep you warm in between runs!

    Ski over 5 miles of scenic country on our groomed trails.  The abundant wildlife often make appearances on the beautiful trails!  Click here to view the Cross Country Ski Map.

Don't worry if you don't have equipment...the friendly staff will outfit you in top quality rentals.  If you are thinking about learning to ski or snowboard, let us teach you!  The Chalet is a perfect place to warm your toes and has large windows for your viewing pleasure.  New this year is a renovated bonfire area - sure to get great use to keep you warm.  The Family area serves a delicious variety of food and beverages.  Tactics Paintball and Laser Tag is also located at Whitetail Ridge.
