A signature of an Express Assumption of Risk form by parent or legal guardian is required for minor children ages 17 and under.

UPHILL TRAVEL ROUTE, TRAILS AND PARKING

Uphill travel, March 15-Closing Day in April 2025, is only allowed on the northern edge of the AOA trail along the woods line. Skinners need to then use the Midway Trail only for downhill skiing and use the Northwest Parking lot during the following hours: Tuesday-Sunday 7am-9:30am. Last uphill travel will be at 9:00am. Additional hours may be added later in March.

We love animals, but do not allow them on the property.
