★★★★★ 5.0 Rebecca Klemmer · Feb 2026

We went on a Sunday for the tubing hill. We had an absolute blast. They allow for more than one tube to go down at a time. We loved coming up with different variations of ways to go down. The tow hook to take you back up the hill was seriously the best part. Our family is already talking about when we can go again!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sabato Caputo · Mar 2026

Great local vibe, family friendly, with a variety of terrain. Hours are a little different, so check ahead of time before making the trip. Nice pit stop on the way to Boho.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Gavin Simonson · Jan 2026

I’ve been skiing and riding at Mont Ripley since I was a young boy, and for many years it was a place I truly loved. Unfortunately, over the last few seasons—and especially this year—the experience has gone noticeably downhill. Prices have increased dramatically, with some passes nearly doubling in cost, while family passes were changed to a maximum of four people, which feels unreasonable and out of touch with the community Ripley has always served. With these price increases, I expected improvements. Instead, the quality has declined. One major concern is the use of lighting on the hill throughout the night during snowmaking. This was never necessary in the past and worked just fine for years without it. It raises the question of where money is being spent and why resources aren’t bein

I do not ski, but I brought my kids to the tubing hill. There was plenty of staff to monitor kids. We had tons of fun and were completely safe. Be aware! It is a bit of a trek up to the hill.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rushikesh attarde · Jan 2020

It's a good place to ski and snowboard. Me and my friends went for first time to slearn ski and the staff there was extremely enthusiastic and eager to help and teach us. It was a wonderful experience, everyone should give it a try
