Description

From the humble beginnings of one slope and a towrope to the current 12 runs and 9 ski lifts, Buck Hill has been a hit since day one. Just minutes south of both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, this metropolitan ski area has the reputation of being one of the finest either side of the Rockies. With state-of-the-art snow making equipment, Buck Hill is able to open as soon as the mercury begins to drop and stays open well into the early spring. The variety of slopes will satisfy novice to expert skiers. Snowboarders will enjoy the challenging half pipe and snow tubers have exciting slopes to call their own. Equipment rental and ski lessons are available. The slopes are well lit, allowing exciting night skiing.
