Most employees here are great, but the occasional jerk, like we encountered on the ski patrol today, puts a damper on things.

I had the best time here. I came with my bestfriend and husband on a saturday and I have to say that I was very surprised that it was not as packed as I thought it was going to be. The best part was that they day lift passes are very reasonable. Im talking $60 for the day. The runs are a bit on the smaller side, but long enough for kicking off the dust for the seaon. Another great perk is that fact that the food does not cost you an arm and a leg like it does at breck or keystone. Here were were able to get 2 whole plates, and 4 drinks. The most expenisive part was the food and by that I mean $8 for tenders and fires. read more

Really cool small ski resort. Everyone was extremely friendly. Small fun runs and the snow was better than expected.

Snowy Range is the perfect ski area for families, beginners, and groups that include a range of ski experience. Our large group included early beginners and advanced skiers and snowboarders, and happily enjoyed the mountain for 3 days. The range of paths in green and blues were wonderful. The mountain was groomed daily and was well equipped with staff and ski patrol for those who needed support. The lodge was large and accommodating with cafeteria style options for lunch, or a full-service bar and restaurant for those wanting more of a break. We only wished the coffee shop would have been open more and for longer hours. read more

Had to downgrade. I called to inquire about buying a season pass and if they offer a military discount. They used to but no longer. I will not buy a season pass and will split my time elsewhere. Your loss Snowy. Support the vets! read more

Notes on specific trails, from the perspective of skiers who like speed but consider moguls verboten: The Good: Seminole, Arapahoe, Drifter, Rawhide, Gunslinger, Virginian, Crow's Nest, Cheyenne, Roundup, Warpath The Bad: all black slopes, Sundance, Shoshoni, Calamity Jane The Ugly: Blackfoot - it doesn't slope enough to pull you along. Trails not mentioned were not skied by us this winter. What you will notice is that not all blue slopes are created equal - some have moguls, some don't. read more

Mom and pop style ski "resort", super reasonable prices, the lines aren't long and the mountain wasn't crowded when we were there. I can't imagine this place on a powder day! I hope to be back one day read more

No frills or glamour but the price is right! How can you go wrong with $49.00 lift tickets? We spent less here with one night at a hotel added to the cost than a day anywhere else with no hotel stay. Pretty hard to beat that and the drive might be a few hours but no traffic or traffic jams to contend with. I would much rather drive a few more miles than sit for hours stuck in traffic trying to get back home. We think it is a great place to ski or snowboard! read more

Easy drive from Laramie, ample parking. We're here for New Years week and there was never a lift line. Friendly staff. It's a bit windy and can be hard packed if no fresh powder. A half day ticket starting at noon, is a steal. Snow is softer, wind seems to die down and less flat light. Beginner runs from the base are good, from the top there's a decent amount of flat terrain linking the green runs, so if you can't hold an edge and keep your speed up, be prepared to skate a bit. Blue runs are really pretty beginner friendly. Food is your typical resort, grab n go. read more

If you live in Fort Collins and love to ski and board but don't want to deal with huge crowds, long lines, and awful i70 traffic snowys got you covered. It's not a big resort but it's got enough for all skill levels. Don't expect crazy tree lines or anything but as an advanced boarder I find it fun. There's also a terrain park here that offers quite a bit of versatility. I was able to throw down on some of the features which is something I haven't been able to do at a small resort in Colorado. This place is a steal for the price and the drive up to the place is super mellow. read more

The girl working the ticketing booth today (12/22/20) at 10am with loosely curled shoulder length brown hair and glasses desperately needs to be taught some customer service skills. She was so rude??? If you hate your job that much quit??? I had to directly interact with one employee when I initially arrived, it was her, and she made me want to leave immediately. I let her know that your website allows for same day lift tickets to be purchased past close and she said "that's not my problem". Yeah, you may not be in charge of the website but you can tell someone who is and also work on your attitude since you're being paid to be here. The lift operators were super friendly, helpful, and even offered me run suggestions...maybe they can train the demon you have stationed at the ticketing booth! read more

If you want the best mid-mountain martini bars, followed by 5-star hotels at the base and pretentious pricks in brightly colored ski gear, then you suck. If you don't suck go to Snowy Range Ski Area in Wyoming. Like Wisconsin with short lines, simple amenities and cool locals but in a real wild west setting. The mountain has runs of almost two miles long, several lifts and 250 acres of Medicine Bow National Forest at your disposal. Got a wax and edge, sounds dirty but it's not, for just $17 at the base. Small bar and typical ski food. Rocked a bread bowl of the green pork chili, which is just too good. The bartender and all the locals were chill and made me feel right at home. I used to waste my time and money in Colorado, but with all the craft beer of Colorado and the convenience of a smaller hills in Wisconsin, Snowy Range will be my home away from home. You can ski just as good a mountain all weekend for what a one day pass would cost at Vail, Breck, Winter, or Steamboat. If you like spending too much, are a poser, like ski/board gear more than actually riding than stay exactly where you are. If you want to ride amazing powder with a bunch of locals and then bend your elbow in good company come and see what you are missing. read more

Good place for the price. Bad place if you're colored. My boyfriend and I went to Snowy Range the day after we flew into Colorado. We made the trip up there with my cousin and uncle. Everything was great until my run in with the guy in the first photo on Yelp. I would give a name, but he didn't have time to tell us. More so seemed like he just wanted us away from him. It started when I gave him my information sheet for helmet and boots. No hello, just an angry, irritated looking face. He said my sheet didn't look like my boyfriend's because there is no back to it. Okay, my apologies as I changed the setting in the computer, but alright. Simple fix. Took my happy ass back on over to a different computer. Printed the correct sheet. Went to bring it back to him, but he's already sitting by the area where you get the snowboards/skis. We were taken care of by someone else. At this point, I am still in a pretty good mood. The first man at the register was AWESOME. Very nice and happy to help us. Wish I got his name, but he had a ponytail and what looked to be a strawberry blonde hair. Second man didn't avoid us and helped us as well. Got our boots and helmets. The moment we stepped over to the station with the guy in first yelp picture, he sent us over to the man FIVE feet away from him. He pointed and said "he'll take care of you". No one else around, just us. Was not busy what so ever, could've been on his phone/picking dirt from his nails. Not sure. Extremely obvious he didn't want to help us. After 2-3 minutes of getting help from this other man, we hear the guy (conan) call this couple over up to his station, "What's up guys?! Step up I'll take care of you!" Out of the corner of my eye, I see a smile and hear drastic change in his customer service. I was raised in the city of Chicago. We love, respect, and treat everyone the same. Sucks that I was in this uncomfortable situation. I wish I spoke up, but instead here I am, behind the screen. Everything happens for a reason. I appreciate everyone I meet. Unfortunately, this was an unpleasant experience. I'll take my moneys somewhere else. -The Beautiful Latina from Thursday :) PS Thank you to everyone else who helped thoughhhh!!! read more

Snowy Range is a great place to go for a fun, mellow day of skiing or snowboarding! They don't have the massive size, crazy steep runs, or $20 waffles (looking at you, Winter Park) of the big resorts, but they offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, polite and helpful staff, and enough variety to make for a good day on the slopes. Even on the weekends they are not crowded and the longest we have ever waited for a lift is a couple of minutes. The snow is usually soft and there are runs for all skill levels. Plus, they have nice snowshoe and cross-country trails. Even the guests are nice people, polite and friendly, and we haven't encountered any of the attitude or rudeness endemic to the big resorts. Think pickups and camo vs. the latest $200 goggles and $600 jackets. Forget something? No problem! Their ski shop carries everything you could need at good prices, perfect for beginners or families on a budget. All-in-all, a family-friendly, beginner-friendly place to enjoy all the snow without the hype, expense, and crowds. read more

Having grown up in Colorado, I was blessed by being able to dick around in "Ski Country USA" pretty much any time I liked. But going to school in Wyoming (at Laramie), I was left with a huge urge to hit the slopes, no where to satisfy my craving. That's when a couple of buddies from college introduced me to Snowy Range, just a short and easy drive outside of Laramie. Like a lot of ski areas in the west, Snowy Range lies situated on National Forest land. What makes this place different is that it's owned by a small company, and isn't all about the 'fluff' like the major ski resorts are. It's very simple, you just grab your gear, slap on your pass, and hit the slope. There's no worrying about parking, and you don't have to hike your ass off only to stand in lift lines a mile long. However, the trade-off comes in the terrain. Even their 'expert' terrain is pretty easy for an experienced skiier or rider, simply because the hills at Snowy Range don't have the elevation gain as their resort counterparts to the south. What you're left with is a nice quick run on an uncrowded hill, with usually no lines. While the snow can be sketchy at times in places, there can be a lot of terrain to cover. There's also long, long routes that you have to take to reach secondary lifts, and these prove to be a challenge if you're a rider. Other than that, you can't beat the price at this place. You can usually grab a ticket for less than half of what resorts in Colorado charge. But at the same time, you're also getting what you pay for. If you really need your 'fresh pow' fix, head south to Steamboat. Otherwise, spend a Saturday exploring what skiing in Southern Wyoming is really like. read more

Ski snobs need not apply. Snowy Range is not for you. An easy drive towards Laramie and just 30 mins west of Laramie sits Snowy Range. 27 trails, not many, but that shouldnt stop you from having a good time. Short lift lines, great trails and a terrain park are what waits for you here. This place is great for families. Huge cafeteria upstairs in the main lodge with plenty of eating options. There's a bar here too. Snowy Range extended their ski hours to 6pm this past weekend. If you just enjoy skiing like I do and want to try someplace a little different, then take a short drive northwest up to Snowy Range. read more

Went for skiing lessons. Instructor was very nice and helpful but I had to throw in the towel early as I realized quickly I need to be in better shape for it, especially being uncoordinated as I am. Hoping to try again. Would definitely give it another chance. read more

Great place for all levels of skiing! We have lots of fun here. No wait lift lines is a great plus!! The cost is so nice - you could pay more and wait more in line at other resorts and be dodging people on the mountain the entire way down...not at Snowy Range. It's a great scenic drive in with easy access. Our teenage daughter invited a couple of her friends (who have never skied) along this week and we came away from the mountain with two new skiers. They talked almost the whole drive home and started planning their next trip!! read more

Don't bother reserve skis from Snowy Range, unless you want to waste your time and pay an extra fee to waste your time. They lost all reservations today, except a church group. Rather than try to help us, the reservation guy just says "it's not my fault" and to go through the giant line with everyone else. So, I paid an additional fee to reserve them online, and then we waited an hour in different lines to get paperwork, boots and skis when we should have been skiing. I've rented skis there for my family for at least five years (probably longer), but after today, I won't risk it again.  So to Snowy Range let me tell you about customer service. It is not saying, "It's not my fault, so I'm not going to do anything about it. I'm not going to try to make it any better or faster." At a very low minimum, the guy could have said he would get our boots for us. He wasn't busy because he had no reservations. Instead he sent us to a giant line to wait. Truly trying to speed up the process in anyway would have been a huge improvement from your response. When we said something at the ticket office, shrugging your shoulders with a "sucks to be you" look on your face is also not helpful. How could you make a customer feel better? How about a discount for the next time they come (to make sure they want to come again). Or a free drink at your cafe. Really anything would have been better than your responses of "it's not my fault and I don't care." Guess what -- It wasn't my fault either. read more

I enjoyed snowboarding here a lot I'd give 5 stars if it wasn't for my end experience but at the end of my ski trip an uneducated fella working the ski lift decides to start telling people what to do where to go and how to dress and started using foul and offense language as a result gonna have to leave a 1 star I believe snowy range should stick to hiring college students not hopeless losers with no future they seem to be the ones with the unpredictable temper read more

Dear Snowy Range Ski Area Management: Help me love you! There's a lot to love about Snowy Range, it's where I learned to ski and I love to wow visitors with your small-area charms. But your no-refund policy really ruined it for us the other day. When the lifts close due to 70 mph wind gusts I say good plan, no one wants to blow off a ski lift. But when it happens two runs after the lifts open after purchasing a full-price full-day ticket comping your loyal patrons with a half-day pass would have been the best advertisement you could buy. Sending us home with not so much as a "sorry" is typical small town customer service I guess, but let's raise above! read more

Love this place. Love going to the back mountain, rarely any lines and there is powder for days! Staff is very friendly. Affordable too! Would rather drive up here then spend $100 bucks per lift ticket somewhere more populated. read more

It took me 13 years of living in Laramie, WY to finally give downhill skiing a try. The early bird ski season pass, coupled with a 3-pack of group lessons, and 5-days at Steamboat was an investment but quite a deal compared to Colorado resorts. The classes (2 so far) have been great. In fact, my 1st class was a private because the only other person registered was only 7 years old. Cindy, the instructor, was patient and amazing. After the 1st class (day 3 ever!), I was ready to navigate the green runs alone. I took my share of tumbles but the green runs at Snowy Range are very friendly to beginners... wide enough to practice turns and sloped enough to both challenge & carry tentative skiiers through. On my 4th ski day, I went to Steamboat where the green runs are narrow & much more difficult than the ones at Snowy Range. I spent 2 days there trying to go as slow as possible on the narrow switchbacks of their green runs. The lines were longer, the runs were more difficult, and I couldn't wait to get back to SRSA! After I returned to WY, I took another class at Snowy Range (again from Cindy). Breakthrough! I am no longer "plowing" and I'm comfortable on many of the blue runs. I'll go back to Steamboat after I get more practice and a final class at Snowy Range. Snowy Range is so friendly to both beginning and seasoned skiiers a perfect place to explore my new pastime. There are plenty of blue runs that I haven't yet attempted... and some black runs that I might never try! read more

I have skied Snowy Range for over 30 years and it is a wonderful ski resort. It is not the largest resort, but their ticket pricing is perfect for families and there are runs to challenge all levels of skiers. They have a Magic Carpet and a dedicated area for kids learning to ski. I taught both of our kids to ski there and they have gone on to take advanced lessons from their ski instructors. The ski lodge is a spacious, relaxed setting, perfect for families as well as friends and family members who want to hang out and enjoy the beautiful views while the rest of the family skis. I have skied most of the major resorts in the Rockies, but I keep coming back to Snowy Range. read more

Such a great little ski area! Still has that small, local and layed-back feeling. Super friendly staff - even the lift-opts say 'Have a great run' almost everytime you get on the list. read more

Great powder most of the time, few tourists which makes it open for great, tranquil runs or for trying out new runs without people in your way. You can go an entire run without seeing a single person which can be both relaxing and terrifying depending on your skill level... read more

Agree with Robb C first paragraph. This place is local, good runs and friendly staff. Third time there while visiting relatives and well worth trip off the beaten path. Don't go looking for the best but you will have good skiing and snowboarding and the bar is open afterwards. read more

We enjoyed skiing at Snowy Range during early January 2019. We had a beautiful day with temps in the high 20s and little wind. The conditions were very good as they had a 3' base and no ice. The mountain has enough variety to engage beginners through seasoned skiers. The pace is much easier than Colorado's established brands; you won't feel intimidated or lost. Our kids took ski lessons and rented equipment. They enjoyed their time. We are from the east coast, so one of my children suffered from altitude sickness later in the day. That was a bummer, but not Snowy Range's fault. In fact they were very pleasant to deal with! If you are on a budget and want great skiiing, do consider Snowy Range. Fort Collins residents should note that it is not too far away. read more

I have had a season pass here for the last 3 or 4 years and its been great. The new management has done WONDERS for this resort. This doesn't have the challenging terrain that you would find at steamboat but it great for just relaxing and riding with a good variety of runs. And can get decent snow... We had a 36 inch powder day last year. The new owner has ties to steamboat and it shows. The terrain park used to be a couple Unmaintained rails but now is an entire run long with great features with 20 foot boxes and multiple 10 - 20 foot jumps if you are into that. It's probably the best beginner mountain I've ever been... It's got a good variety of greens and blues runs with no crowds. Great for families. The locals are way cool and you don't see the stuck up "localism" that you see in Colorado. And at the end of the day you can hit up the bar with very reasonable prices starting at 2.50 a pint... Unheard of for a ski resort. read more

Beware: if you book online, they will charge you online and then charge your card again on the day of skiing. Then they will not answer any calls to address the double charge. So you will pay double fees for the same service. read more

Very close to Laramie, economical and best place to start learning. A family focused ski area with decent food options.

I went here on a Monday of a federal holiday. The place was quiet, it was powdery, it was snowy. The food was typical--bad. The lift ticket was cheap. The runs were longer than any I'd been on before in the Chicago-land area. I liked the runs a lot. The staff was pretty cool. It was a good time. It's not quite as kitsch as Steamboat, but the price was right. The atmosphere reminded me a lot of the crappy ski runs back where I come from...but the snow and the runs made it all worth it. read more

This was the worst ski trip I have ever taken. I took 4 first time skiers there after calling the day before to inquire if this would be a good place for a first timer. After selling me 4 beginner packages (rental, lesson and lift ticket), I discovered there was NO BEGINNER LIFT OPEN!!! Are you kidding me? MANAGEMENT WAS HORRIBLE!!! Would not give me any refund and wrote a letter to Capital One to dispute my charge back full of lies. The best lie was that I came back again that season with more beginner skiers!!! Hilarious!!! I would NEVER go back to that place!! Go to Loveland Ski Area outside Denver...GREAT place for beginners. Had the same first timers on a lift in 45 minuets. Snowy Range is THE WORST!!! read more

ok i am from the tahoe area of northern califorina, which i think defines me both as a person and a snowboarder, which i think makes me sound like a dick and an elitist. but truthfully i love snowy range! it is never crowded and i have had more crazy powder days there than i ever had in cali/ nevada. although i hate to recommend anyone go there because i think its my local spot, it is seriously the greatest mountain ever and i cant boggart it any longer. read more

I recently took my daughter there for the snowboard lesson package for a Christmas gift and was extremely disappointed. A number of issues including poor instruction, late start, people joining the group 20-25 minutes into the lesson and having to start over and an adult class turning into a mostly kids class. The biggest issue was that when I wrote to them about the experience, I didn't get a response at all. read more

this place is graet for skiiers, terrible for snowboarders. slow lifts and not so good food
