Visitors will find the 7 trails at this ski resort thoroughly enjoyable. With a 400 foot vertical drop it's not the largest mountain in the area, but Tuxedo Ridge has so many other great features to make up for its size. This ski hill has a fairly humble set of slopes and quite few ski lifts, 4 to be exact, all of which are maintained in top condition. Tuxedo Ridge is more inviting than some standard ski mountains featuring a rather small elevation difference in contrast to other ski resorts in the region. Skiing here at Tuxedo Ridge is always enjoyable where the runs push the limits of even the finest skiers but also allows plenty of space for beginners or novice skiing buffs. From the gentle slopes of Bunny Slope to the challenging Tiger Pass, Tuxedo Ridge is sure to exceed the expectations of skiers regardless of skill level.
