Paoli Peaks

Paoli Peaks might not be a huge destination resort, but as a local ski spot it’s hard to beat — especially being only about an hour from Bloomington. The easy drive makes it perfect for quick day trips without turning the whole day into travel. The staff have been consistently helpful and accommodating every time we’ve gone, which makes the whole experience smoother, especially with kids. It’s also been an awesome place to teach little ones to ski — I taught both my 7-year-old (started at 5yo) and 4-year-old here, and the setup feels very beginner-friendly and manageable. One tip: if you’re renting gear, be prepared to be patient when it’s busy — the rental process can take a bit during peak times. We’ve been many times so far and we’ll absolutely keep coming back. Highly recommend for

There is something about the crisp Indiana air and the sound of skis on fresh snow that brings a family together like nothing else. ❄️ ​We recently took the crew out to Paoli Peaks, and it reminded us why we prioritize these "Journeys and Adventures." Whether it was conquering the beginner hills or watching the kids gain their "mountain legs," the day was a perfect blend of challenge and pure joy. Investing in these moments is the best financial and emotional decision we make as a family. Can’t wait for the next trek!

We had a good grateful time tubing. Definitely a workout to get up from the tube and walk half way to the escalator with your tube. Price is decent than Skiing. Should have beginner pricing. Not sure if it would have included the rental of equipment. Food court was pricy and eatable. Not for a picky child but you can bring your own food.

I give it a 3 because the pricing is extreme in my opinion. I paid $40 for 2 hours of tubing and to pay $9 for 2 small hot chocolates... I won't return. However the rock n bowl just down the road was pretty cool , lots of stuff to do and the pricing was great.

Went about 2 weeks ago. Missed all the natural snow from the big storm but most of the runs were open and we balled out. The staff let us and everyone know at the window that if you ordered online you saved about 10-15 per person. Can’t beat that..we came w 10 people it saved us a lot and we had a great time
