Mountain Meadows offers over 55 km of trails and boasts an advanced snowmaking system on 2.5km of its trails. Mountain Meadows offers a wide variety of skiing options; There are some wonderful beginner and intermediate trails close to Kent pond and on the other side of the Pond, there are more advanced trails to enjoy. The 1.5k White Trail, otherwise known as the snowmaking trail always has snow and is groomed. The trails vary in length from 1.5K to 15K with beautiful woods and/or pond views.
