To celebrate the holidays, bring the whole family to Ski Cooper! It’s known for its laid-back, family-friendly vibe and affordable prices. Don’t miss the 19 new double black diamond runs in its new Tennessee Creek Basin. Just as soon as this steep terrain fills with all-natural snow!

Tennessee Pass is now open for the winter season! For a special holiday treat, cross-country ski or snowshoe a mile to this unique, off-grid cookhouse. Then enjoy a delicious four-course gourmet meal. You’ll feast on local ingredients, with a well-chosen wine list. Or come for lunch Saturdays and Sundays during the winter season.

 

For a memorable holiday getaway, book a luxury sleep yurt for the night. Stay warm and comfortable with soapstone wood stoves, down comforters, handcrafted log beds, and kitchenettes. Passes to 27 km of groomed cross-country ski and fat biking trails come with the yurt, and you can rent your equipment there.
