What’s more, Soldier Mountain’s 1,150 acres of skiable terrain cater to skiers and boarders of all skill levels.
Beginners can hone their skills at Soldier Mountain’s Ski and Ride School, which offers private lessons or group classes. More experienced skiers can take advantage of the resort’s 2,000 acres of backcountry terrain and available CAT skiing, including to Smoky Dome, the highest peak in the Soldier Mountains.
Soldier Mountain generally opens in mid-December and remains open through March, when the resort often sees heavy snowfall Solder Mountain operates Thursday-Sunday, but during the week of Christmas, the resort operates daily.
