Snowmaking & Grooming

Mt. Crescent provides the midwest with a variety of slopes — some are perfect for learning while others will challenge the experienced skier or rider.
There are runs up to 2,000 feet in length with a vertical drop of 300 feet, all of which can be covered with two to three feet of fine, well-packed snow by the latest snow making equipment. Lights on all trails make night skiing exciting.
Our double and quad chairlifts serve 9 runs on 50 acres and handle an uphill capacity of 3,600 skiers per hour which means less waiting and more skiing!
Mt. Crescent’s snowmaking system consists of 20 large snow cannons, two holding ponds and miles of underground piping. This system can produce six inches of snow on 10 acres of land in a 12 hour period at temperatures below 20 degrees. This means the area can transform any one of it’s runs from bare ground to a skiable slope overnight and keep snow on the ground, through the warm spells, into March!
This advanced system coupled with our snowcats and powdermakers insure the best skiing surface possible.
