Sleeping Giant Ski Area

Yesterday’s adventures took us up to Sleeping Giant Ski Area, about 50 miles from Cody. It brings back lots of memories for me, as it was the place where I re-started skiing after taking a 7 year sabbatical and it’s where my children learned to ski.

Sleeping Giant has been around since 1938. It was originally called the Red Star Camp and is one of the oldest ski areas in the country, located just 3 miles from Yellowstone National Park. It’s a small area but the terrain is very challenging and it’s a wonderful place for families to come together and enjoy some winter recreation! The mountain is typically opened from 9 am – 4 pm Friday through Monday and ski and snowboard rentals are available in the lodge. Nordic Skiing is an option, as well, with almost 16 miles of classic ski trails and if you’re a snowshoe enthusiast, there’s room for you, too! More information about Sleeping Giant and the Park County Nordic Ski Association can be found on the web.

“Skiing is believing” at Sleeping Giant, so bring your family up to the hill for some great winter fun!
