Editorial Review for Afton Alps Ski Area – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Surrounded on three sides by Afton State Park, this hill is close to the city, yet decidedly country. Snowboarders are welcome on the hills and at a terrain park. Rope and handle tows, 15 double chairlifts and three triple chairlifts span the area. There's also a snow-tubing park, so those who don't ski can still hit the hills. Forty runs range from challenging to gentle, although the majority of the hills accommodate intermediate-level skiers.
