Snowy Range Ski Area Anchors Albany County Winter Recreation in Medicine Bow

Snowy Range Ski Area, located in the Medicine Bow‑Routt National Forest west of Laramie and east of Centennial, is operating seven days a week through mid April 2026 and is offering weekend lift tickets online for $64, a pricing point the resort markets as an alternative to pricier Wyoming options. The resort’s season runs December 12, 2025 through April 12, 2026, making it an immediate winter recreation resource for Albany County residents and visitors.

The hill lists 27 trails across 250 skiable acres, with 990 feet of vertical and a base elevation of 8,798 feet rising to a 9,663‑foot summit. Snowy Range reports an average annual snowfall of 250 inches, figures the resort highlights alongside its family-oriented positioning. The Original Report describes Snowy Range as “the region’s primary family‑oriented ski hill and an important winter recreation asset for Albany County residents and visitors.”

Resort operations and lift availability are published on the site as live features.

The resort’s homepage includes WEBCAMS, LIFT REPORT, WEATHER and a snowy range ski trail map for condition checks and trip planning, and the site proclaims “OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK UNTIL MID APRIL 2026!”

Snowy Range presents pricing and pass messages aimed at southern Wyoming and northern Colorado skiers. The site states “The Snowy Range Season Pass is the best value for skiers and riders in Southern Wyoming and Northern Colorado” and repeatedly markets itself as “THE MOST AFFORDABLE, SKI RESORT!” The resort also displays recognitions on its pages including “Snomad Best for Value - Bronze Winner” and the claim “On the Snow named Snowy Range Ski Area the most affordable in the Western U.S.!”

Visitor impressions appear on the resort site; one testimonial from Melissa R. reads: “An incredible outing that not only featured three generations of skiers and Mountain lovers…..but……we didn’t know that as we set out on this journey that we would be able to witness the entire Bohac Family skiing together at the same time!! It was magical!!” Another listed name is Mitch Z., shown as a testimonial author without an accompanying quote in the supplied content.

Snowy Range operates under a special use permit in the Medicine Bow – Routt National Forests, and lists contact information for visitors: mailing address PO BOX 247, Centennial WY, 82055, and phone 745-5750; the site also shows an obfuscated email string “(/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection).” The resort notes POLICIES and PLAN YOUR TRIP pages on the site for planning details, and the site footer reads “Snowy Range Ski Area © 2026. All Rights Reserved. Site Designed by Gnarketing” and states Snowy Range is “an equal opportunity service provider.”

Through April 12, 2026, Albany County skiers can check Snowy Range’s webcams, lift report and weather pages or call 745-5750 for real‑time conditions and planning; the combination of 250 inches average snowfall, 27 trails and $64 weekend lift tickets frames the hill as a near-term, affordable option for families and county residents seeking on-mountain access this winter.
