Otis Ridge Reviews & Tips (3)
Otis Ridge is the perfect place for new skier's not a lot of big mountain glitz but some good old fashion up and down the mountain skiing. I had to rent skis for my oldest daughter and staff was cordial,helpful and pleasant. If you have young children learning to ski this is the place to take them. You cant beat the $30 lift ticket for all day skiing . Alexandra, Emliy and Victoria love Otis Ridge and so does Dad
Otis Ridge review written Jan 07 2013 - 03:02 PM
Great little place for the price (we got full day tix for $10 thru Liftopia!), but it is a "little" place. The elevation drop is minimal, but there are 5 or 6 different trails to hit. Being a seasoned winter sports guy, this was nothing more than a little fun on a big "hill", but the experience was worth the price tag, for sure. I went just after 8 inches fell, so there was no ice, just a minimal base, but the little bit of powder that was there made it worth it. I would go back immediately after a nice snowfall to spend a couple hours playing in the snow (it is only 40 minutes from my house). Thumbs up, Little Otis. Thumbs up.

Otis is an awesome little place - had season's passes with my little cousins and taught them how to ski there last season - perfect little mountain for beginners and a few tougher runs for the rest of us, just be prepared to be in the trees. No glitz and glam here, just snow and gravity.
Lifts - one 2-person chair lift, a pony tow and a t-bar that we only saw open once.
Facilities - small rental/ski shop and a cozy lodge w/good simple food - total family place, the locals are pleasant and if you're there on a regular basis, you'll see the same people again and again.
Snow/Trails - They're fairly dependent on mother nature for their snow so the best skiing is right after a fresh snowfall. No terrain parks or anything of the like, but kids will make little jumps and cut throughs for their entertainment. The longest trail is the easiest, but it's a nice way down, most of the runs are intermediate, with three advanced runs, two of them winding through the trees, the other is right next to the lift, very wide, steep at the top, oftern has some moguls and gets icy. With at least half of the trails crossing or starting off each other, there's plenty of ways down for some variety.
Never took any lessons there, but the staff was a constant presence and always helpful.
Ticket prices are good, around $30 for a day if you start at noon, they've got lights and close at 10 so it's a great deal. Pack lunches are welcome, we even brought a crock pot full of chili once~
