Review of Welch Village Ski Area

What Welch lacks in service it makes up for in skiable terrain. With the best runs in the metro you'd be hard pressed to find a better place for a days worth of skiing.

The chalet is dated as compared to other local ski operations. There is a good variety of food offered in the food court. A bar at the main chalet and one on the far side of the ski hill, Mad Jaxx, give adults an opportunity to relax with a beverage and to catch the game.

If ambiance is important then you may want to consider other options. If a larger variety of skiable terrain suitable for all age and abilities is important then you've found your place.

Welch offers a wide range of lesion options and family day packages. Although nothing can compare to Out West, Welch makes the most out of its terrain and gives skiers a great opportunity to enjoy their Winter Sport locally.
