Buffalo Ski Center

"Been calling for days, left a message and texted as the voicemail has said to do, and nobody responds back. I'm sure there's plenty of other ski resorts in the vicinity that want my money"

"First year members at BSC for me and my family of 5 (kids 4,4, and 6 yo). We have had a great first year thus far and will have no hesitation continuing our membership next year. The instructors have met above expectations for our kids in the adventure and mountain ranger programs, always addressing our kids by their names, with enthusiasm and encouragement. Our 6 year old started w zero experience and after 5 lesson down, he is rocking the chair lift and having a blast! The child care in the adventure room has also been fabulous! So helpful to parents of wee ones learning and allowing parents a little adult time on the slopes! This is a wonderful family friendly ski center."

"This was the first year we were members. As an experienced snowboarder I would not suggest this mountain. It is more geared to skiers. Only a couple of chair lifts the rest are all handle tow or t bars. I order to get from one side of the mountain to others you need to traverse, not a snowboarders favorite activity. I would say that the snow management has a lot to be desired, snow guns never seemed to have any strategy, just randomly pointed and left to run all day. Many trails had never been groomed. I feel that the weather would make or break the mountain. Bad snow year and you could be disappointed, good snow year and you could be riding till April. With all that being said the mountain is great for beginners and families. There is a real sense of community. Great trails for beginners. Very friendly and patient instructors."

"This is a fantastic family Ski Club. Everyone is very friendly and it is a relaxed atmosphere. You can bring your own food and beverages and not be concerned that someone's going to steal your stuff. What it may lack in Social excitement for teenagers it makes up for in a caring safe family atmosphere. I recommend it highly."
