Wolf Ridge Ski Resort relies on mother nature to do most of the work, but they are able to give her a helping hand as long as the temperature is where they need it to be. So if they don’t receive enough natural snow, they can make their own! The current snow report is updated regularly by staff and can be accessed at skiwolfridgenc.com/the-mountain/snow-report.

The facility offers boots, poles, and shaped skis ranging in length from 80 cm. to 178 cm for skiers. For the snowboarder, they have boots and boards ranging in length from 94 cm. to 154 cm. They also rent helmets, snow bibs, and lockers. They do not rent jackets, gloves, hats, or goggles, so be sure to pack those with you!
