Hey all – with Snow Park closed for the season (sniff, sniff) I decided it’d be cool to feature some other area places where you can get your board (or ski or tube) on in winter. Check back for the facts on some of your favorite places to ride other than Snow Park!

Note: All prices reflect season passes. I encourage you to visit the websites of these places to check out day passes, lift tickets and more.
Also note: Distance is from Snow Park. For all I know, you live in a tent on top of Kissing Bridge’s trails.

A nice Kissing Bridge Montage with an even nicer Passion Pit soundtrack:
