Private Skiing. You read that correctly. Our mountain is your mountain. We limit the “crowd”. Three Forks Mountain, blanketed by hundreds of inches of snow every year, boasts 1,100 vertical feet with 20 runs for every level. Its natural cruisers, bumps, steeps, open meadows, and majestic tree lines make for a world-class experience. During the design phase, former Olympians “tested” the mountain for us — and it left them breathless and begging for more. While some might consider snowboarding a hybrid of skiing and skateboarding, at Three Forks Ranch we just call it awesome.
But the real game changer? Snowcats - our heated snowcats will whisk you to the summit in no time.
No ski lifts, no lines, no hassle. It’s your private mountain to conquer.

It’s a tremendous and intense workout that has beneficial consequences for the whole body and a balancing effect on the mind. It improves proprioception, cardiovascular health, muscle strength and mood. You have to be bold but relaxed, fast but sure, and prepared but free. It’s a pleasure hit that will stay with you for long after the skis are retired for the night. And you will sleep like a baby, and be fresh for the new day’s adventures.
Strap on a board and enjoy the thrill of carving out a new path in the fresh powder snow of our ski area. Snowboarding is an adrenaline producing winter sport that has multiple positive health outcomes. It enhances cardiovascular fitness by getting your heart pumping faster and increases cardiovascular and respiratory endurance. As a result, it scorches those calories. Due to its nature of rapidly changing direction and speed, it greatly improves flexibility and muscle strength. It truly is a whole-body workout. It can be very tempting to curl up by a fire all day in winter, don’t give in to the bear in you, get out there, breathe in the fresh, cool mountain air and take a leap.
