Area Update

Yes, we've got plenty of snow. The hill is in great shape, and all trails are open! After March 17, we will run weekends only.  We expect to run weekends through the end of March.

Join us on Wednesday, March 24 for our annual "Thank God For Snowmaking" race. Jimmy Cochran, Tim Cochran Kelley, Jessica Cochran Kelley and their US Ski Team teammates will race alongside college and high school racers to benefit Cochran's. Racer registration is now full (as is the waiting list), but there's always room for more fans! Bring some dollars for the BBQ.  Sorry, no public skiing on TGFS race day.

Yum! Thanks to On The Rise bakery for the delicious fresh bagels & delectable treats and High Ledge Farm for the organic eggs.

Need a lesson? Children ages 6 and older and adults can join a group lesson any Saturday or Sunday at 10:00 ($25 plus the cost of the lift ticket & any rental gear). Please note, for the remainder of March we will not offer afternoon lessons. No need to preregister, but please arrive by 9:15 if you need to rent equipment. We're sorry, but we only do lessons for 3-5 year olds through our Ski Tots series or a prearranged private lesson. For a private lesson, contact Sue Carpenter, 434-4548. See our programs page for more info on next winter's Ski Tots program.

We now accept credit cards (though we prefer cash or check).

Please note, our weekend half day starts at 1:00. Sorry, we do not offer a morning half day.

 
Welcome to Cochran's Ski Area

 

 

The Cochran family opened their first rope tow in 1961 to provide skiing for their children and neighboring kids during the week. Since then the backyard training area has grown into a challenging ski area with expanded lifts and slopes. But the love and thrill of downhill skiing that started the Cochran's on the road to World Cup and Olympic competition still permeates the Cochran Ski Area, the downhill ski area with the cross-country atmosphere. Friendly people, interesting skiing.

 

Cochran's Ski Area, Inc. is the nation's first 501(c)3 not-for-profit ski area. Donations help ensure the future of this community resource. We introduce skiing to over 800 local children every year. Fund raising events like the 5th Annual Cochran 100 Bike enable us to keep our prices affordable so every child can have the opportunity to ski or ride.
