100% membership paid grooming.

Did you know that Beaver Creek and Golf Course grooming aren’t paid for by the city of Lander? It is 100% paid for by membership fees. We pay four part-time groomers to groom almost everyday during peak season. If you use these trails consider becoming a member to help do your part!

Make a day-use donation

Are you just visiting for a day? We don't have daily trail fees like other ski areas, but we really depend on folks contributing what they are able to pay for equipment, repairs, fuel, grooming wages, and all the other things that go into keeping our trails fresh all winter long!
