The 70-acre Ski Valley offers great downhill skiing and snowboarding, along with ski equipment rentals and instruction, a restaurant,a snack bar, and a gift shop. Overnight accomodations can be found nearby at Summerhaven.

This, plus the area's many trails and overlooks make Ski Valley a popular destination in any season. Ski runs are usually open mid-December to early April depending on snowfall.
