Huge!  Great Divide is a traditional family-owned and operated day use are that covers a lot of country. Kevin and Nyla Taylor manage over 139 named trails on 1600 acres of “ski-all” terrain served by 5 double chairlifts. We offer lower mountain fun for everyone, including snowmaking and night lights (public night skiing on Fridays). You'll enjoy great glades, cornices, cliffs, and chutes on the upper mountain -- longest run: 3 miles. And there is lower mountain fun for everyone. Our lower mountain includes beginner and intermediate runs as well as our 2 awesome terrain parks (one for beginners; one for advanced riders). Our powerful snowmaking equipment guarantees great snow coverage on the lower mountain from early season to the end. The mountain includes 15% beginner, 40% intermediate, 45% advanced terrain. All this at a very reasonable price. Check out our trail map
