Welcome to the Wolf Creek Ski Area Website!

Wolf Creek Ski Area is now open for 7-day a week operations for the 2020-2021 ski season!

Wolf Creek received 3 inches of fresh snow from the latest storm, bringing the all-natural snow depth to 40 inches at the midway!  Conditions are Powder/Packed Powder with early season obstacles and extensive grooming throughout the mountain.  Alberta, Charity Jane, Treasure Stoke, Bonanza, Elma, Raven and Nova are operating from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Skiers and boarders have access to approximately 98% of the mountain.  There are no other amenities being offered at this time; just lifts and restrooms until further notice. Please see the Pre-Season Plan at this link.

Lift tickets are now at regular rates.  Regular rates apply every day of the season except during Peak Rate Dates.  Regular Lift ticket rates will be $80 for adults, $50 for seniors and $41 for children.  Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 18th, is Local Appreciation Day!  Everyone is considered a local!  Lift tickets will be $58 for adults, $40 for seniors and $31 for children.  Please visit the eStore at WolfCreekSki.com to pre-purchase and view Peak Rate Dates and Prices.

Pre-purchasing lift tickets is preferred and can be done by visiting the eStore; purchases must be made prior to 8:00 PM.  Lift tickets can also be purchased the morning of at the Ticket Office with a credit card only; cash will not be accepted.  Skiers and boarders should bring their own equipment, water, snacks and lunch.

Colorado State Guidelines require wearing face masks and social distancing in all indoor and outdoor public places. This includes buildings, in the base area, and riding a lift. Masks are required outdoors while in the base area and while in ticket and lift lines. Tickets will not be sold to anyone without a mask or face covering. Any guests refusing to follow Colorado State Guidelines will be asked to leave. Other guidelines include:

1. Visitors coming to Wolf Creek should be aware of Colorado’s quarantine requirements in case of exposure. Any guests who test positive or been exposed to COVID-19 must extend their stay at their own expense to complete isolation or quarantine.
2. Wolf Creek is located in Mineral County; lodging is found in Pagosa Springs (Archuleta County) and  South Fork (Rio Grande County).   Please understand the dial level showing the status level of COVID-19 in all counties in Colorado. Visitors should educate themselves by clicking on the dial level link.
3. Please use the Colorado State Guidelines link for the comprehensive list of guidelines.  Guests should also be aware of Wolf Creek Ski Area’s Pre-Season COVID-19 plan.

The PRE-SEASON plan includes the following elements:

1.The only thing offered to participants are the lifts and restrooms. No other amenity will be offered such as indoor lodging/seating areas, food service, ski school, rentals, etc.  The preseason plan will allow for access to the lifts only.

2.This soft opening will allow staff members to ease into understanding COVID protocols and make the transition from what they have previously known as ski area operations. Since this year will look different than most in terms of how they will load chairs, conduct employee health screenings, how distancing will be handled in lift lines, sanitization of bathrooms, etc., this will allow them to practice those protocols prior to the full season.

The Meadow and Lake Spur Nordic Trails were groomed November 14th.
