Hogadon Ski Area is a ski resort located 11 miles (18 km) south of Casper, Wyoming on Casper Mountain. The mountain features about 24 trails of varying difficulty. Of those trails, 20% are beginner, 40% are intermediate and 40% are expert ski terrain. The mountain also features a snow board terrain park covering 600 vertical feet. The resort offers a restaurant as well. Hogadon is one of the few resorts in the country that has the actual resort building located on the summit as opposed to the base.[2]
Cross country skiing
Along with traditional downhill skiing, the mountain also features several miles of cross country trails, minutes from the actual resort itself. These trails are often lit at night for night skiing. The ski resort offers no "night" downhill skiing.[3][4]
