Nitehawk Recreation Area

Ski Area Categories: North and Open For Season

  • Profile

    Nitehawk Recreation Area started in 1960 and is run by a dedicated team of volunteers and a hard working crew of staff. Over the years Nitehawk has grown from a quaint ski hill to a multipurpose recreational area and facility. Nitehawk offers nine exciting runs for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities, a mogul patch and two terrain parks. Runs are accessed by a Triple Chairlift*, a Platter Lift, and two carpet conveyor lifts.  All runs are fully lit for night skiing.

    *Please note that skiable terrain is limited this season due to the landslide earlier this year leaving the chairlift inoperable and the terrain it serviced inaccessible.

    The area includes the Nitehawk Ski Hill,  Luge Track,  Gravity Mountain Bike Park, Convention facility and Wilderness Campground open year round.
