This area also boasts excellent views of the Grand Teton range, as well as 360-degree views of the Bridger Teton National Forest to the south.

BEGINNER TEACHING ZONE
AT THE SUMMIT

The summit at Snow King Mountain is always improving! We’ve added two new Magic Carpets so visitors can practice on one beginner and one advanced while taking in the amazing views. Start on the beginner Magic Carpet to practice the basics, then progress to the advanced Magic Carpet to practice twists and turns, then make your way down the mountain! Parents can also ride up the brand-new gondola and enjoy watching their kids learn to ski or snowboard in the dedicated beginner zone, then experience the ease of riding the gondi back down the mountain. While you’re up there, enjoy a warm beverage by the fireplace at the Panorama House or stretch your legs and take a stroll in the springtime!
