Willard Mountain offers something for everyone, including night skiing, snow-tubing, food and beverages in our Colonel’s Canteen cafeteria and Thirst Aid Room Lounge, Rental Shop, and Loose Moose Retail Shop.

  • “I can’t give Willard Mountain enough credit for my ability to excel in the sport of skiing. As a young man, I was able to train and compete through Willard Mountain. The coaches were exceptional. The ability to spin the laps and keep training on the lift system allowed tight and well-orchestrated training sessions. The staff and management at Willard made it so easy for me to progress in the sport. Smaller ski areas have bigger hearts!”

    - Bruce Bolesky, 1975 National Ameteur Freestyle Champion and Freestyle Competitor in the 1988 Olympics in Calgary
