The Black Hills have become a popular destination for winter sportsmen. Whether it’s snowshoeing or skiing you will surely find an activity that suits you. Skiing has become more and more popular over the years and many locals enjoy Black Hills ski resorts for the short lines and reasonable rates that are offered. Downhill and cross country skiing are just one more reason to visit the Lodge during the snowy season.

Sixty percent of the mountain is covered by a snowmaking system which makes it possible to ski when the snow isn't falling.
