MANSFIELD — Snow Trails skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing season opens Friday, Dec. 9, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for its 62nd season.

Slopes remain open for an early season bonus weekend on Saturday, Dec. 10 through Sunday, Dec. 11, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Select trails, lifts and terrain park features will be available. The projected opening for Vertical Descent Tubing Park is not yet confirmed as additional snowmaking is still needed.

“We are incredibly appreciative to have snowmaking temps late November into December to effectively build a base of snow,” said Nate Wolleson, Snow Trails marketing manager.

“Since then, our dedicated snowmaking crew has taken advantage of opportune temps to make snow in order to open the slopes this upcoming weekend,” he added.

The resort features six chairlifts, including a slow-moving Beginner’s Double Chairlift and two ski carpets dedicated to the Beginner’s Area. A third carpet lift is utilized for the Snow Tubing Park with the “Longest Tubing Lanes in Ohio.” The Resort offers 19 total trails and is known for Timberline trail – “Longest Trail in Ohio.” There are three glade areas, plus five Terrain Parks. A 9,000 sq. ft. Rental Center houses user-friendly equipment and offers a self-service system.

Snow Trails typically opens in early December and the season lasts into March. The resort is located off I-71 south of Mansfield on Possum Run Road.
