Enjoy the best views of the fall foliage in the area with Scenic Skyrides, live music all weekend, a large craft show featuring local artists & makers, entertainment for the whole family, and lots of fun! – October 12 & 13, 2024 from 10 am – 4 pm.

Admission is free! Scenic Skyrides, mountain biking, and disc golf are available for purchase in advance online or the day-of in-person.

SCENIC SKYRIDES DURING PEAK FOLIAGE

Our four peaks are illuminated with a colorful autumn showcase, providing prime leaf-peeping opportunities. While this time of year excites us for winter, there’s plenty of foliage and activities to enjoy on the mountain before the snowmakers get to work. It’s the perfect day to welcome fall and get some fresh Adirondack air with many vendors, games, family activities, and live music!

Choose your Skyride aboard the open-air Adirondack Express or the enclosed Northwoods Gondola. A short hike between the lifts offers the unique opportunity to experience both rides with the same ticket. Please take one of our scavenger hunt game cards or participate in a fun hiking challenge. Explore our network of thrilling downhill mountain biking trails, or try out our disc golf course around the base area. Ticket sales end at 3:15 pm both days. If you have a downhill biking ticket, please bring your mountain bike up on the Adirondack Express open-air chairlift.

PURCHASE ACTIVITIES IN ADVANCE

Please note: If you bought your skyride ticket online, do not take your QR code to the lift. Online tickets must be exchanged for SKI3 skyride cards printed at the ticket windows or in Guest Services.
