Terry Peak Ski Area is positioned geographically to receive a substantial amount snowfall through the winter months. With elevations of 5,900-ft to over 7,000-ft. more snow can fall on Terry Peak than anywhere else in the region. It's common for snowfall predictions to exceed up to three times of what was anticipated or to receive snowfall at 5,500-ft and higher when snow wasn't expected at all. However it's important to remember that we can depend on snow at Terry Peak. With the efficient high-tec snowmaking system covering 60% of the mountain, good conditions are assured from the begriming to end of the season. Stay posted to our web site and live mountain cams for dependable surface and weather conditions. Remember: SNOW HAPPENS AT TERRY PEAK!...
