Summer at The Ski Bowl is in full swing! We had an amazing time celebrating our summer operations opening, along with America’s 250th Birthday with you all last weekend. We’ll be open Wednesday through Sunday this week with Scenic Skyrides on the Hudson Chair and the Climb N’ Challenge making its return, both at The Ski Bowl. Hiking is also available at both The Ski Bowl and from our Main Base Area.

Be sure to join us for Music at the Bowl this Friday, July 10th at The Ski Bowl! Our free summer concert series happens on two Fridays each month from 5:30pm – 9pm. This week, The Switch will be rocking The Bowl with a combination of funk, blues, and old school rock for an unforgettable show. Timber & Thyme will be open all night for food and drinks, along with Trailside Outfitters (to 7pm) if you’re looking for some fun Gore summer merch. Bring lawn chairs and blankets, and get ready to enjoy a fun night outside at The Ski Bowl with your crew!
