Best Ski Resort for Value in Minnesota: Afton Alps - Value for Money Rating

Afton Alps gets mixed feedback on value for money from our SNOMAD community. One user who is an advanced snowboarder flagged that it's "way too expensive for size of resort" - particularly when parts of the mountain were closed, resulting in 15-30 minute lift queues. However, many users find good value in their Epic passes which include Afton as their "home-base" plus annual trips out west. For beginners and families, the combination of good teaching facilities, well-maintained equipment and friendly staff seems to justify the price, with several users mentioning they return regularly despite the cost.
