    First Snowmaking Campaign Continues of 65th Winter Season at Snow Trails Mansfield, Ohio

    Updated: 12-4-25 3:55PM » SNOW REPORT
    Please look to early next week for what we anticipate will be an Opening Day announcement to share with you. Remaining in Pre-Season #STSnowmaking mode is needed now through early next week.

    Marginal temps during many hours of our campaign have resulted in lower snow production volumes. Our intention is to produce the needed base of snow to setup the Season for success.

    The early snowmaking and natural snow - many times rarely for Christmas - has us all excited and anxious to get to the fun! We always look forward to offering you Early and Late Season Bonus Weekends, but know they are not always possible.

    Our typical opening is the second week of December, so we are thankful to still be on schedule.

    Please stay tuned as snowmaking continues, and as always you can track our progress anytime as we build-up the base of snow and excitement for our 65th Winter Season with you! See the Snow » Web Cams

 HOW IT WORKS

  • Reservations are required and need to be placed online by 6:00PM the day before. Walk-ins are not accepted.
  • Pricing is for each unique visit. Equipment included. 
  • Check in at the Children's Center for all needs including Area Lift Ticket and Equipment Rentals. 
  • We offer Morning or Afternoon Sessions of your choice. See our Online Reservation System for details. 
  • The Children's Program includes a Lift Ticket, Ski or Snowboard Equipment Rental, Helmet Rental, and Instruction/Supervision as well as a mid-session snack. 
  • Pre-Check-In Opens 30 minutes prior to Program start time and Slopes opening. Staff will be available at the counter of the Children's Learning Center to inform parents how the check-in process will work.
  • A paperless waiver and check-in system will be utilized for speedy drop offs.
  • On-the-snow lesson times may vary according to snow conditions and weather. Space is limited, as child/instructor ratio is kept low for best experiences.
  • All Children's Program Sessions end at a designated time, but the day does not have to end for you and your youngster. Your child's Lift Ticket is valid for the entire day and may continue to be used, along with rental equipment, until the Slopes close for the day.
  • The Polar Cub and Polar Bear Program welcomes Cubs 4 to 5 year olds and Bears 6 to 9 year olds. Although Cubs & Bears are in the same session, we separate age groups on snow. Students are required to be potty trained and mature enough to follow instructions.

NOTE: There are NO REFUNDS. All Sales are Final. All schedule requests must be given 24 hours in advance of your arrival date and time. See SnowTrails.com/change for details and to make such requests.
