I was so surprised because Snow Trails offers handicap snowboarding (not sure of skiing). However, when we visited with our grandson, the handicap parking spaces were all blocked by some sort of tables. There was no access to the upper main viewing level for handicapped (although one employee offered to carry my 250 pound husband in a wheelchair up the steps! The cafeteria which does have viewing windows was the only place we could go. Otherwise very nice place.
Yes Skiing in Ohio can be Fun. Snow Trails is a great ski hill close to home. The folks are great treat you like family.The slopes offer a nice variety.When you need to warm up they have great Chili and Hot Coco!Enjoy the Winter!
This was my first time here at the end of December 2014. It is a small attraction located right off I-71 in Mansfield. It is a small snow ski place with no black diamonds and a tubing hill. Not all the ski lifts were open due to not having "actual snow" at the time. My boyfriend and I only did skiing because of the amount of money we were spending just for skiing. They're snow machines did a great job at providing something to ski on. Downfall of this place was that the trails were loaded with ice. If you are like me, I prefer "real snow" to ski over.Snow Trails only has one ski lodge. The food was ok but on the pricey side. So suggestion here would be to go into town (which is only about 5-10 minute drive from there) and get something say at Applebee's or any other fast food joint.There is ample parking available, so don't worry.
They offer many different terrains along with a sledding hill. The snow is always good. They do offer a ski-check for when you go inside and not have to worry about someone taking your equipment, but they charge you for the service on a per-use basis...I wish this could be free like it was a few years ago. They offer a full bar with a walk-out patio.
We went here to go snow tubing and it was so much fun! There's a conveyor belt that takes you to the top of the hill. There are single, double and kids sized tubes. I would recommend this for all ages. There's also a little warming hut/snack shack at the bottom of the tubing hill. After tubing, we had lunch and drinks at the ski lodge restaurant. Good food, large portions and reasonably priced.
Snow Trails is a great ski resort. They do an awesome job of snowmaking which is needed in Ohio at times. They have great first timer packages and there is a spot for the little ones while mom and dad take off on the hills. Their restaurant has all the typical ski lodge food and is pretty good. They have an awesome ski shop that is a must to stop at either before or after your day on the slopes. There is usually a band playing on the weekends after 9 p.m. The ski carnival towards the end of ski season is also a must visit activity.
Love the season passes for tubing! We drive about an hour to get there but on some nights it is not busy and we can enjoy the hills, talk to the employees and have a great meal in the lodge. Get there when it opens on Saturdays so you can get 2-3 hours of tubing in before it gets busy (crowds and buses!) Great facility and super to be in the fresh air!
Ohio's first and finest ski resort. It is Ohio so only 300 feet of vertical but a great place to enjoy winter. The tubing park is also lots of fun and requires no skill to enjoy.
This is a nice little ski resort. If you are a good skier this place will not challenge you - but if you are just looking for some fun times on the slopes instead of being at work... this is your place. I was here for 2 hours and 15 minutes and got in 25 runs. The runs are short but during the day there were no lift lines. It was all man made snow but nicely groomed. I ate at the Last Run Deli and Bar... amazing food and actually normal prices. On a side note - this looks like a great place to learn. I will have no issues spending an entire day her with my daughter.
I was pleasantly surprised there are many small ski resorts in this area. Snow trails is really small, with only a few trails and each run was really short. I spent more time on the lifts than actually skiing. But it's better than nothing!
