With ski season less than 2 months away, we are finishing improvements to ensure that the coming season is one of the best yet! We have added and upgraded snowmaking on our Orchard Run, Big Appal, and Appaljack slopes to provide faster coverage, more base depth, consistency and quality snow conditions throughout the season.
Midnight Blast Weekends will now be offered all season long! The region’s only late night skiing & riding will run every Friday & Saturday night the entire 2015-16 season, from Opening Day through our last night of night skiing (March 19), in addition to special Holiday Midnight Blast Sessions over the Christmas Holidays, December 26 through 30, as well as Martin Luther King Sunday and President’s Weekend Sunday.
Discounted Season Memberships and Nights-Only Passes are available online 24 hours a day at www.appskimtn.com. Purchase yours before October 15 and save!
Our 54th season is scheduled to begin Friday, November 20th, with a projected closing date of Saturday, April 2nd. Night sessions are scheduled to begin opening day, weather permitting. From March 20 – April 2, modified hours will be in effect and slopes will be open from 9am – 6pm on these dates. We hope to begin making snow during the first good cold snap after Halloween and begin ice skating on the day before Thanksgiving.
App Terrain Park will offer over 50 different rails & boxes this season for riders of all ability, including new designs based on rider feedback. The parks will be hosting several custom events throughout the season, including the signature Shred for the Cup series, Ladies Park Sessions, as well as a Boarder/Skier X.

Our Alpine Ski Shop will be open seven days a week beginning on the first day of skiing or Thanksgiving Day, whichever comes first. The Shop will also remain open every night our slopes are open.
