Our summer operations are kicking off soon, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to the mountain!
While we’d love to still be carving turns this time of year, the mountain is looking incredible this right now as we head into summer. Cooler temps, fresh alpine air, and wide-open views are just around the corner.
Summer at Snowbowl returns for Mother’s Day Weekend (May 9 & 10) with Scenic Gondola Rides and Summer Activities from 10 AM – 4 PM, followed by a full daily schedule starting Friday, May 16.
And that’s not all—Sunset Gondola Rides return Friday & Saturday, May 22 & 23, and will continue to run every Friday & Saturday all summer long! We’re also cooking up a brand-new Sunset Dining menu, so stay tuned for something special.
