Where can I ride my snowskate?

Many mountains let you ride your snowskate, but not all.  Refer to this guide & the map below to get started. Recall the (4) rules you should always follow:

1. Always ride with a leash.
2. Always ride off a lift, and by default walk-on.*
3. Only ride at ski mountains with a bi-deck with metal edges**. You need leverage & good edges for worst-case hardpack scenarios. You cannot safely ride a single deck or 4x4 down a ski mountain.
4. Be courteous & helpful. You're on foot, in shoes. You have extra comfort & flexibility. Pick up some litter, a dropped item, give a snowboarder a push on a flat. We may look like kooks, but let's be an angel to someone's day while we're at it

*unless otherwise requested/info is available, as mountains can have particular policies. 

• Some mountains prefer you skate-on, simulating a snowboarder, to maintain 'skier status' instead of 'foot traffic',  because from an insurance perspective you're less of a hazard.
• Others take it a step further and require a foot strap for lift egress. We HATE this concept, and respectfully push-back, but we will also comply if we wanna ride there....
• Some mountains prefer you stick to high speeds.
• Others instead slow the lift at loading/unloading and really prefer you walk-on/walk off.

            Check out details on each mountain on the map.

**you need a metal edge to maintain control on ice and in general on a ski mountain - some bi-decks from the early days didn't have them. Ensure you do.  

When in doubt, proceed politely, educate thoughtfully, and respect lift staff - everyone is just trying to do their job safely. Check mountain websites in case particular details are called out (for example, Bolton Valley does not allow snowskates on all their lifts).

If you discover mountains with different policies, rad or sad, please email us at itsasnowskate@gmail.com   

Green colored resorts are snowskate friendly, and typically welcoming. Unless otherwise denoted in the Resort Notes section, go nuts & have fun!

Yellow colored resorts allow snowskates with certain restrictions. The mountain may limit lift access, or have weird policies. Click on the mountain in the below for further details on that particular resort. [Ongoing population of Yellow resort - email if you have details on any!]

These resorts are not friendly yet. We list them with hope, but for now, they remain ellusive. PS: If anyone has an in at Killington, we'd love to get access to May laps on Superstar at a minimum. We're a dedicated & passionate bunch, and we don't want to give up on the season until everything is gone.
