    Cooler nighttime temps have already set-in, kids are back to school, and Fall activities are in full-swing. This is when the anticipation begins to build for us all! We are looking forward to the coming Winter Season with you! The weather forecasters are starting to kick around the idea of colder and drier - we’ll take it - considering we will provide the moisture needed for snowmaking just as long as we have cooler temps we are good to go! Generally snowmaking begins anytime around Thanksgiving if temps permit. Please stay with us this Pre-Season and keep an eye on our Calendar to join us for Events leading-up to our 65th Season of 2025-’26.

 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 to choose from. 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. No more than three families will be permitted to enter the facility at any time. Staff will be available at the entrance to the Children's Learning Center to inform parents how the check-in process will work. Once participants have been pre-checked-in they will be given instructions on how to wait until it's their turn to enter the building. 
  • 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 student/instructor ratio is kept low for best results.
  • 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.
  • We call our students Polar Cubs and Polar Bears. Cubs are 4 to 5 years old, while Bears are 6 to 9 years old. Although Cubs & Bears are in the same session, we separate them out on the hill because Cubs and Bears have different ways of learning. 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.
