Five slopes connected together with eight trails provide some twenty-five acres of ski terrain. Beginner, intermediate and refresher instruction is available, as well as Kidz Klub programs. Miles of trails are perfect for cross country skiing and sleigh riding. Enjoy the hospitality of the Sundial Ski Lodge - with The Hungry Moose Café and The Hitchin' Post saloon for your eating and drinking pleasure.
