The Skiers' Guide to Afton Alps

Just carv, have fun and follow the rules, the lifts and hills are great, lots of ice though. But stick to what you know and you'll be safe

Had a really enjoyable time skiing, we went the week before schools break up for half term so slopes were reasonably quieter which is so much more enjoyable as you don’t have to concentrate on not hitting others. Instead can focus on technique.
Chair lifts were a little busy with the first one up but after that it was all good. Especially when we were always first up and on the slopes. Snow was good last year, we can had a little bit before we arrived and some on the last day, but very other day it was clear skies which was perfect for visibility. Amenities were okay, we had the basic requirements walking distance from us, we weren’t fancy with going out so happily cooked our own breakfast and dinners.

Would recommend.

Overall had a great ski trip here. The skiing was great and the apres were good but we’ve definitely been to better places. Restaurants are also good but would get better in France ski locations.

Lovely place - very scenic would recommend. We really enjoyed all the slopes and apres ski. Perfect for any level

Would highly recommend the ski resort all around the entire experience was wonderful and Im definitely coming back here again!

Way too expensive for size of resort. Plus a third of the place was closed. Because of this lift lines were 15 to 30 minutes. The place is fine otherwise. Not steep, no real black diamonds. Good green and blue groomers.

Amazing facility ! Great food options ! Overall great family fun experience ! Ease of finding slopes, signs are very useful, will definitely recommend for skiers as well though I am a snowboarder !

Alps were a great place to ski. I enjoyed the on on one time to learn. I really enjoyed the lodge and how great the staff was.

We come 2 or 3 times in a month to enjoy the slopes and meet up with friends and family for the holidays....top notch

Alton Alps was a great starting point for a beginner like me. The instructors were extremely patient which I appreciated a lot since I did struggle a fair bit. The gradual slope progression and well-maintained equipment were also very helpful. The views were beautiful as well. Overall, I would recommend anybody new to snowboarding to go to the Afton Alps.

Overall experience was great. Had lots of fun with the family and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend.

Great place to visit with the ones you love. The slopes were fantastic and the accommodations were lovely. Cannot wait to go back again.

its nice to ski here! Sometimes a lot busier than expected but I like learning how to ski at this location

Great options amazing terrain good food

Very beautiful place, definitely worth visiting as a snowboarder. Lots of room and is safe. Its family friendly so its great for those with young kiddos. Loved the experience and cant wait to visit again!

Afton is our home-base in Minnesota. We generally love it, and it serves well to get us prepared for an annual trip out west, which comes free with our Vail Epic passes. Overall it is one of the better hills in Minnesota. It isn't Lutsen, but it gets the job done for a day of skiing or snowboarding. Plus, it is State Park adjacent, so we spend a fair amount of time between Afton Alps and Afton State Park each year.

It was insanely fun, it was my first time learning how to snowboard since Ive always wanted to try it. My cousins have already been snowboarding so they were able to help me a little bit but the school helped me a lot moreband it was so much fun. I recommend going there if your starting off like me. The food good as i enjoyed that. I can't wait to return when I can!
