Drivers must be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid and current state driver’s license or learner’s permit.

Yes, but for safety reasons, the driver must be at least 25 years old, and the total weight limit is 350 lb.

A passenger must be at least 5 years of age, and their feet must be able to touch the running boards.

Please arrive with insulated snow boots, snow pants, snow parka, heavy duty snow gloves/mittens, thermal wool socks, neck gaiter or scarf, long underwear, and warm layers of clothing.

Schweitzer’s Ski & Ride Center can outfit you for your winter adventure. Please make arrangements ahead of time and come early to prepare correctly. If you’re leaving on an early morning tour, you may want to make your arrangements the day before in order to have your gear on hand.

Clothing that will lead to a poor experience includes denim or light fabric pants and uninsulated footwear like sneakers or duck boots.
