All open trails had been superbly groomed and there was nary a patch of ice on any of the trails!! Nice soft surface, easy to get an edge in anywhere, great cruising!! Just wish we could get some natural snow for the groomers to play with and really have something to write about!! Keep up the great work!!

Hours each day for Glacier Riders are 10-3. Another great option for the 5-year-old is our Ski Wee program (available anytime) which is a 3-hour private/semi-private lesson and of course, with necessary breaks including lunch or snack. Glacier Riders: $249 for non-season pass holders/$159 for season pass holders/$45 rentals for length of program Ski Wee: $75 includes lift, lesson, and rentals. That is a quick summary of the longer programs and if you would like to make reservations for Glacier Riders you can call or email Guest Services and they will get you signed up - Glacier Riders fills up fast! (607) 545-6511, guestservices@swain.com Thank You! Hi Jen,

It has proven to be one glitch after another, unfortunately. We are accepting pics for the Photo of the Day on our Facebook page, which is simply a featured Swain photo.
