The Carnival offers everything from costumes to racing, brats and beer.
Ohio’s premier resort for Skiing, Snowboarding, and Snow Tubing will host the 65th Annual Ski Carnival as a two day event weekend on Saturday, February 21st and Sunday, February 22nd. Carnival festivities have been celebrated since the very first season in 1961-‘62 at Snow Trails. The Annual Ski Carnival has become a reunion for many over the years!
There is something for everyone, from the Kids Challenge, to the famous Bikini and Chippendale Slalom Races, plus the Couples Fun Race, Giant Slalom Race, and Guest Costume Contest. Our ever popular Cardboard Creation Race will take place in the Tubing Park as the final event of the weekend.
The Resort will open from 9:00AM - 9:00PM for regular skiing and snowboarding, as well as tubing, throughout the weekend. Advanced Online Bookings Required. Normal Lift Ticket Hours & Rates for Skiing and Snowboarding, as well as Normal Tubing Hours & Rates in Vertical Descent Tubing Park all weekend. Although the events and features are designed to add excitement and fun to the weekend, entry fees are separate from your Advanced Booking for the Slopes or Tubing, and you are not required to be an event participant.
The Skier/Boarder Cross and Slush Cup will again be stand-alone events on our Calendar in March.
