The Scene
Slide down a hill in a slick inner tube for $10-$15, depending on age and time of day. (Note to adults: Don't be shy, kids make up only half the traffic on the busy tube hill). The Summit has some of the best night skiing in the state, with plenty of open lifts and decent hours.
The Slopes
Summit is made up of four ski areas: Alpental and Summits West, Central and East. Each ski area has its own character and distinctive attributes. Alpental is known for its expert terrain, West for its half-pipes and appeal to families and beginners, East for its Nordic center and Central for bringing all these qualities together.
