Ski/Board Trip and Lift Ticket Info
Lift tickets tend to sell out during the busy season at 7Springs. To avoid disappointment, book your lift tickets in advance online through Epic Pass. If you do arrive and lift tickets are sold out you can always check out the other 2 ski resorts in the area (Hidden Valley and Laurel Mountain). Hidden Valley is the perfect place for those new to skiing and snowboarding with 2 beginner slopes. This resort also caters more towards a family crowd if you're looking for less crowded and shorter lift lines. Many locals will ski 7Spring in the early morning and then head over to Hidden Valley.
