Granby Ranch unfolds across 400 mellow acres with East Mountain serving up attainable beginner and intermediate runs and West Mountain offering intermediate and black diamond terrain.

When it comes to ski resorts, smaller means easier. Affordable lift tickets, a convenient central location, very small lines and a casual, comfortable atmosphere make Granby Ranch the ideal family destination.

New to the snow scene? Welcome! Granby Ranch is the perfect place to try downhill skiing and snowboarding, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. Ski and ride school is incredibly approachable and affordable. Thoughtfully carved out trails and forgiving terrain keep the experience light and fun. Bring the whole family—non-skiers love to kick back at the base by the fire pit and cheer on loved ones as they ski down the mountain. All trails funnel back to the base, so you never miss a beat.
There’s always something happening at Granby Ranch. Ski as a family through the wild west mountaintop adventure zone. Take a snowshoe tour, skate and Nordic ski miles of freshly groomed track, try night skiing under the stars, ski with Olympians and take a mountaintop Snowga class with a certified yoga instructor. Sip cocktails and cocoa around the outdoor fire pit and enjoy genuine homegrown western hospitality.
Learn from the pros with ski and ride lesson options spanning half-day group sessions to private one-hour first-timer lessons.
