About
Opened in 1961, Timber Ridge Ski Area originally had 1 rope tow lift. Today, that number has grown to 8, including a quad and triple. This ski area has a 240 ft. vertical and 850 ft. of elevation, which you can explore over 15 trails. In addition to those trails to navigate, you can take a trip into the terrain park and take advantage of the half pipe. There are plenty of beginner trails, but many more trails that will give you the challenge and excitement needed to improve your skills. If you do not wish to ski or snowboard, head over to the tubing area for family fun.
