Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area Skigebiet Guide

The fairly small and family oriented Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area is nestled in the beautiful Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. There are four chairlifts (Sundance, Virginian, Pioneer and Chute) that will move you up the mountain. The 27 trails at Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area serve all skiing abilities from beginner to expert: 7 beginner trails, 12 intermediate trails, 8 expert trails. Furthermore, you'll find a terrain park, although this one isn't always that perfectly shaped. A good thing about Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area is that the vast majority of the runs are situated below the timberline. The snow conditions are usually pretty good and, compared to European snow, the snow is rather dry. Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area is located 32 miles west of Laramie, Wyoming, in the Snowy Range mountains. Take I-80 exit 311 (Snowy Range Road) west to Highway 130, then continue west 32 miles into the scenic Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest.
