I say don't read this review because we should look to keep this place secret. This is the perfect ski area if you are looking for reasonable prices, quick lift lines, well maintained and groomed runs, and generally a great ski experience. No Summit County Ski Cooper is not, but they don't claim to be either. Go enjoy a great day of skiing and help keep our little secret.

We are open for business seven days a week. Face masks and social distancing are required of all visitors.

Reviewed By Coralellen - Ormond Beach, United States

Great way to spend several hours when taking a break from skiing, but even on a warm day we would give it a 5. The interactive displays, the history, the mineral collections and the personal histories are wonderful, while teaching so much. There is enough variety of visual display that all ages will enjoy. There are several areas specifically designed for children.
