Winter policies
Winter Policies
The Snow Bowl has a dedicated and varied group of users and welcomes and supports all our guests seeking to enjoy the mountain. Safety is always our first priority, and we ask that all users follow these policies and acknowledge that all activities are at each individual's own risk.
