About West Mountain
West Mountain is nestled in the Town of Queensbury and offers stunning views of the nearby Hudson River and Adirondack mountains. Since it first opened over 50 years ago, the medium-sized ski resort has transformed and now features 125 acres with 31 trails and 1,000 feet of vertical drop.
They also have a dedicated snowmaking and grooming crew that can cover 80% of the terrain in snow, so when the weather doesn't cooperate, families can still enjoy winter activities at the mountain.
Perfect for skiers, snowboarders, and snow tubers, West Mountain is the place to be during the snowy months of winter.
Plan a Winter Outing to West
The ski resort is home to a variety of downhill skiing/snowboarding trails ranging from beginner to expert level. These trails are accessible via the three chairlifts, and many of them are lighted and open for night skiing.
West Mountain wants everyone, no matter their skill level or interests, to be able to have a memorable time during their time there. From the Snow Tubing Park to the downhill trails and terrain parks, there is plenty to do and see at this family-friendly resort.
Don't have your own gear? No worries! All you have to do is stop by the rental/tuning pro shop near the Main Lodge. They'll make sure you're fully outfitted with the right gear for your day at West. If you do own your own skis or snowboard, you can get them tuned there too.
