New trails for skiers is the big news for this year. These old trails were used by those of us who skied in the 60′s before the chair lift was there. We spent the last couple of weeks cutting down trees, clearing bush, and filing in holes to open these new trails.
We will start the season running the chair lift on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. It is our intention to expand the days and hours of the lift as the season progresses, and we get the skiers back.
We will also groom the chair lift hill for a mogul run. The old glade trail (jughandle) has been cleared out and will be open for the first time in years.
Great to see all the good that the City of Utica has done with this facility. Can't wait to ride!
Is there snowboarding here?

Is it opened today? December 22 2012?
No, we are making snow for the next few days, and hope to open by December 26. Hope to see you there.
I visited the old parkway ski chalet, hills and chairlift on 12/28/2012. It was my first time back in 35+ years. I grew up across the street and learned to ski and skate there.
It brought back wonderful memories of my teen years and yes, at 56 I could still “bomb” the old T-bar hill. Mark Ford has done a great job restoring and keeping the parkway pretty much the way many of us remember it. Well done, Mark!
Glad to have you back, Mike. I continually run across those who skied during the 60s and 70s who remember how great it was then. The world has changed, but I want to give everyone a good experience here. Thanks Mark
Do you have ski and snowboard rentals?
