Harvest Fest

Overview

Harvest Fest 2026 – October 10 & 11, 2026
Free Admission!

UPDATE 10/10, 2:15 PM – Scenic Skyride tickets are sold out for Saturday.

Enjoy the best views of the fall foliage in the area with Scenic Skyrides, live music, a large craft show featuring local artists & makers, and entertainment for the whole family – all of this happening in the main base area! October 10 & 11, 2026, 10 am – 4 pm.

Admission is free! Take a Scenic Skyride up the Northwoods Gondola or Adirondack Express II; purchase online in advance or in-person day-of. Please note that skyride ticket sales during Harvest Fest end at 3 pm or when sold out, and the last ride up the lift is at 3:15 pm.

SCENIC SKYRIDES DURING PEAK FOLIAGE

Our four peaks are illuminated by a colorful autumn display, offering 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. Ticket sales end at 3 pm both days and may sell out at any time (Saturday is sold out!). We highly recommend pre-purchasing your Skyride tickets online for guaranteed availability and to skip the ticket lines.

Please note:

• If you purchased your Skyride ticket online, do not present your QR code at the lift. Online tickets must be exchanged for SKI3 skyride cards, which can be printed at the kiosks near the ticket windows.
• Mountain biking is no longer available on our main mountain. Bikes will not be permitted on our lifts.
