EXTENDING THE SEASON
Skiing & Boarding on Neveplast
All of us at Buck Hill are working hard to get the resort in great shape so we can get you on the snow covered slopes as fast as we can. Due to Covid-19 related procedures and ongoing preparedness planning for the 2020/21 winter operations, Buck Hill will not be running its Neveplast surface for skiing, snowboarding or tubing this Fall season. We will be working hard to relaunch this aspect of our dry slope facility next Fall.
