Inside Scoop
Midweek skiing means practically no lift lines at Bluewood, making more time for powder and tree skiing. Bluewood hosts a number of great events, including a New Year’s Eve fireworks Celebration, Magic on the Mountain, and the annual end-of-year celebration, Bash, featuring a 100-foot pond skim, races, raffles, and more. Bluewood also hosts a number of park contests throughout the season.
Tree skiing is among the highlights of Bluewood, with trees nicely spaced to always funnel you back to the lifts. For those seeking the complete Bluewood experience, Vintners Ridge cat skiing is a unique add-on experience to your lift ticket, providing access to an additional 200 acres of incredible sidecountry terrain via snowcat all day long, conditions permitting.
Coming for the 2025-25 ski season is a high-speed quad.
