Wolf Creek Ski Area is excited to announce the 2023-2024 ski season is underway with 7-day a week operations. All Lifts are operating from 8:30am to 4:00pm providing access to 100% of Terrain.

Wolf Creek has received 4 inches of fresh snow in the latest storm. The current midway snow depth is 31 inches; with a year to date snowfall total of 84 inches. Conditions are Powder/Packed Powder with unmarked obstacles – skiers and boarders should ski with caution.

Lift tickets are at regular rates- $89 for Adults, $58 for Seniors and $44 for Children.

This Sunday, January 7, there will be a Fun Race. Race your friends or challenge your own fastest time. As always, it’s free and open to skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities.

Group Lessons, Lift Tickets, and Ski/Snowboard Rentals are available for pre-purchase at shop.WolfCreekSki.com

Lift Ticket Pickup Boxes are available in the Base Camp Building for guests who have purchased regular adult, senior and children tickets.

The Upper Lodge, Pathfinder Bar, Continental Espresso Bar, Alberta Grill, Base Camp, Raven’s Roost and Prospector are all open. Ski/Snowboard School, Ski/Snowboard Rentals and Treasure Sports are open daily.

Okey Dokey is closed for construction. Skiing public should take A-Way to Alberta or ride Treasure Lift to Tranquility to Looky Loo.

The Fun Loop, The Meadow Loop, and Lake Spur Nordic Trails were groomed on Saturday, December 30, 2023.

Overnight parking in the Overflow Lot is permitted to ski area guests only, who are recreating on Wolf Creek Ski Area’s special use permit, i.e. ski area boundary, as well as participants of the Pass Creek Yurt.

An uphill pass ($5.00/year) is required for ascending and can be purchased at the Ticket Office. Uphill traffic is allowed only during operating hours and must proceed to the side of the runs as downhill traffic possesses right-of-way.

Wolf Creek is taking applications for all departments: accounting, lifts, ski school, food and beverage, base operations, retail, ticket office and more. Please check out the Employment Page to download an application.

We are excited to announce the construction and installation of a new chairlift, The Tumbler, to Wolf Creek’s refined lift system; now inclusive of eleven lifts. The new chairlift is being built in response to a need for first time skiers to have a sanctuary that offers a relaxed learning environment. The Tumbler Chairlift seats four riders and is a fixed grip lift that is 900 feet in length, which is equivalent in length to the Nova Lift.
