★★★★☆ 4.0 Eric Armstrong · Jan 2026

Good hill to learn on. Sometimes its crowded and people get in your way. Especially the 8-13 y/o skiers. However, the staff is quick to help. The wood burning fireplace in the bar is fantastic. As is the food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Richard L. · Jan 2026

The main runs are always nicely groomed for smooth riding. It's a fun place to ski and snowboard for all experience levels, and the tubing hill is pretty fast, which makes it fun for kids and adults.

Great little ski area. My cousin and I used to drive down from Gouverneur after work at least a couple time a month, to ski here. It's where my daughter got her first ski lesson at 4 years old and was riding the chair lift within an hour. She went on to be a ski instructor at Stevens Pass Ski Resort, in Washington State and I became a ski instructor at The Summit at Snoqualmie and Crystal Mountain Resort in Washington State. Crystal is the largest ski resort in the state with 3,100 ft. Vert and over 3,000 acreas of skiing. Always had fun at Dry Hill. Thank God for these little ski hills, because they are needed. Two thumbs up for Dry Hill!! When I go back to visit friends and relatives in Northern NY, when I see Dry Hill, no matter the time of year, I know I am 'home'.

Really fun little ski area. $25 night tickets. Great place to take young kids and beginners to ski. They did a great job by keeping certain areas ungroomed to practice your powder skiing. Will highly recommend this small but very mighty ski area.

When I tell you I have found my forever ski home believe me !! I first visited dry hill back in December of 22 and had such an amazing time taking a refresher ski class with Karry . She is an amazing instructor and encouraged me throughout our session, she definitely boosted my confidence. I love everything about dry hill from the food & drinks at the bar to the welcoming staff . The owners are amazing and are active in welcoming patrons and ensuring their comfort. Shout out to the guys in rentals they’re attentive and have a good memory for customers sizes/ rental needs. I had such an amazing experience there that when given the opportunity to visit Watertown again in February 23 that I speedily signed up for a month of the women’s lunch and learn program on the hill.
