The Ski Slopes are Open at Bryce!

Because of the cold weather we've been having, the ski slopes are open at Bryce Resort earlier than ever!

Bryce Resort Ski Slopes are Open!

The ski slopes at Bryce Resort are open!  We absolutely love the resort -- it's the perfect place for our kids to learn how to ski.  The slopes all end up in one central place (very convenient for the parent waiting at the bottom!), the staff is friendly, and the instructors are great. It's a wonderful, low-key experience. 

The Slopes at Bryce

We've found Bryce Resort to be a wonderful, family-friendly place to enjoy winter sports:

Snow Tubing

Our family had a great time snow tubing on the 800 foot lanes at Bryce Resort.  The weather was mild, but the resort can make its own snow, so the place was packed with skiers, snow boarders and snow tubers.  Lots of fun!

Mini Golf at Bryce Resort

We recently discovered that Bryce Resort has moved its mini golf course to just outside the main resort buildings.  According to the web site, it appears to be open on weekends in the fall & spring, with more availability in the summer.  We decided to check it out, and the kids had a great time.

The Ski Slopes in February

The ski slopes at Bryce are still going strong!  In mid-week, there were no crowds.  The ski school was still doing its nomal, wonderful job of teaching and the kids were having a great time.

Bryce Resort is a very family-friendly ski hill with lots options for skiers and snow-boarders of all abilities.  Here are some photos from a recent Saturday afternoon:

The Water is Fine!

Our family loves to swim and fish in Lake Laura.  Bryce Resort offers boats for rental and provides a swimming beach down by the dam, complete with rafts and a sandy beach area for kids.  You can walk to the Resort's beach area following the path by the lake from the cabin (turn to your right once you reach the path), or you can drive to the parking area. 

We've provided a variety of water floats & toys for you.  Have fun!

Skiing at Bryce Resort

Since winter is very much present at Chestnut Oak Lodge, we decided to take full advantage of the season with some ski lessons at Bryce Resort.   We had some great instructors and had a wonderful time. 

Although the slopes have been quite busy on the weekends, we pretty much had them to ourselves on a weekday morning, which was good for us beginners-- we needed all the space we could get!

Ski season has started!

It looks like the ski/snow-tube season is underway at Bryce Resort.  Check out the fun on the WebCam!
