Buck Hill Ski & Snowboarding Area Review

Great tubing. Little chaotic at the top and not enough of double tubes (only 5)

Amazing place! Fun for anyone of all ages. You can watch your little ones ski or snowboard from inside! There are high quality concessions to buy also.

Impresionant! Beatifull, fanni, very seguriti, play again family

Well. Minus my fiance breaking her wrist it was pretty good 6/10

Best slopes in town. Friendly staff. Get there EARLY for parking.

Took snowboarding lessons. Package included lift ticket and equipment. Instructor, Bruce, was helpful and patient. Made it down a green hill after 1.5 hours.

I tried out the $40 lesson + rental + lift ticket - what a great deal! My kids did the learn to ski class as well - everyone had a great day! Bar is a little pricey, but overall this was a quality day for everyone!

Buck Hill is hard to rate. They are one of the two worst slopes in MN, but also one of two slopes in the metro. It is okay for a half day (3-hours), but I could never do a full day here. It is better for snow boarding compared to skiing and better for Jr and Intermediate level. As a fairly advanced skiier this is not the place for me.

Fantastic experience. Everything from the rentals, lesson, runs & features, lifts, dining was superb! If I was gonna live here longer, I would get a season pass and come all the time. Heard they are on sale in the prior summer for 1/2 off.

Very nice place. It has everything, from tiny little beginners, to the more pro hills. We went as a group and it was awesome. Late in the afternoon a bunch of little kids arrived, which made it less fun.

Best place for skiing and snow tubing near twin cities.

Buck Hill is a great place to go skiing in the Twin Cities.

Good ski hill close to the metro. Open to skiing and snowboarding.

Honestly the tickets seem pretty expensive for the smallest hill in the area

Great place. I came here a couple times as a teenager and it was an unforgettable experience.

Despite several advertisements, the website is down and I actually did personally talk to management and they do deeply apologize for the inconveniences,but Frightmares is not longer here and won't be coming back.
I have there contact if needed

They don t answer my phone calls tried 3 times an hour apart hill is great tho

Black Diamond restaurant here at Buck Hill serves without a doubt the best Mexican and American bar food anywhere in the area.

Tried the Black Diamond bar. Burger was great atmosphere was good.

Great for a beginner, not too many slopes but it s a quality place. I enjoyed my time and would highly recommend it to people with kids and family s.

Affordable for tubing and the kids were exhausted after 2 hours.

Nice range of skiing areas for beginner and intermediate skiers

A very beautiful place. The staff is nice and friendly.

To keep it short, I ve been there and I ll definitely do it again! The quality is amazing, and so much fun for all ages. One problem: when I got got hurt and fell down trying hard to get up, no staff has helped me at all, I had to go to Urgent Care. If you get hurt easily I absolutely positively don t recommend it.

Nice place! Would recommend coming for winter activities or events any time of year!

One of the best ski resort very close to the twin cities

Awesome! $16 Late night special was plenty enough time! :) 8-10pm, quiet, and serene

Weekday early bird special 10-2pm is only $18. Very easy to get to and convenient.

Had a great time! Nice variety of slopes for the area. Full rentals available and an awesome selection from the on site bar & restaurant.

Get there early to tube
Neat moving sidewalk to the top but the two hours runs out quick standing in line

We went for tubing and it was great fun. We took 2 hours package which cost around $18 per person. There is camp fire and I used to spend few minutes after each ride to keep warm. Just make sure you go to little far lines for tubing once you off the escalator otherwise you will end up just staying in line for longer duration. (This is only the reason for 4 stars and I expect management to take of proper queue management otherwise everyone need to analyze which line is fastest instead of enjoying the rides)

Great ski area plenty of features for park riding.. Give the lift operators a break if you can't get on the chair lift maybe you should ride the magic carpet

Great hill! My fiance hurt her ankle on her snowboard and ski patrol was so helpful, nice, and comforting to her. I just really appreciate how quick and gentle they were.

This was my first time at Buck Hill, and it was for a charity event. It looked pretty fun, with a good amount of different things to do. Not quite sure of the food and drink options, but was a fun time. I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Really fun skiing mountain that doesn't require a long trip from the cities despite not being a big place and doesn't have as many slopes as other bigger ski resorts.
It can get really busy in nice weather weekends, because it's located inside the greater Twin Cities area but fun place nevertheless.
Snow tubing is a fun relaxing activity here.

What a fun place to check out at Buck Hill .....I took my Grandkids out to Cracker Barrel today for lunch and then we drove up to Buck Hill so they could see it!!
We went into the Chalet and there were all kinds of areas for the Skiers to sit and rest and sit by a Fireplace, there was also a Snack counter with lots of good foods to purchase and pretty reasonable.
They had some benches for the Skiers to sit on and some of the lights were shaped out of snowboards and some of the counters were shaped out of skis!!
My Grandkids loved running outside and started running up part of the Hill, there are many large Hills and Slopes out there and I was really surprised to see it in the Summertime!! :)
Buck Hill was really a Charming place...an old fashioned Chalet!!
Lindsey Vonn learned to ski here and lived in the area and as she started winning more races she moved out West toTrain!!
They also have Summertime Concerts here!!

my brother and i had so much fun the other weekend, easy place for beginners

We tried snow tubing and it was wonderful place to take kids and also adults. The bald man brewing bar had excellent choices for snacks and food. Enjoyed good!!

I have had a couple horrible experiences with buck hill. The first was when I was getting on a chair lift with two other people, right as the chair was about to leave the ground my ski got caught under a chunk of ice and tilted the chair forward so all of us fell off. The lift operator just stared at us without stopping the lift. Then he got mad at the next people in line for not trying rossow get on and ski right on top of us! The second bad thing is when I broke my arm trying to snowboard, my first time, the front of my board got caught and I fell, broke my arm, and got a concussion. All with in view of a tow rope operator. That operator didn't do anything, what a surprise, I then tried to walk down the hill to go get my dad to drive me to the emergency room, I was 13 at the time, but then the tow operator yells at me that I can't leave a rental on the hill. So I have to walk down half the hill while holding my broken arm and trying to kick the board down and when I am almost down the magic carpet operator yells at me that I can't just push the board down the hill. Buck hill is a triple place to ski or board and I do not recommend going to it. Spend the extra some to go to welch village.

Very crowded on the weekend. Few runs, decent park, fun little bordercross track, but this place does have a half pipe.

Good prices for lift tickets to a small ski areas. It has moguls, and a good quality terrain park. Would recommend for any skiers or snowboarders

Buck Bump. I spent many hours here skiing as a child.

Only went tubing and it was a blast. The ski slope looked very fun as well. Lots of features, highly recommend.

Came back to visit family and just had to come to Buck Hill for Hot Cocoa with them.

There is an additional lift, belt pull and of course the powder is beautiful!!

I am having great memories of trying to ski, lots of falling and seeing awesome tricks off the mound while I watch a new generation of snowboarders and skiers zip through the snow. I can't wait to try again! The lift specials are great and affordable and it's a wonderful way to get in a workout!

Was there for an event in the conference center. Great place for skiing and boarding. Certainly not a mountain experience, but a wonderful place in the Twin Cities.

Lift lines arent to long and the runs are a nice length. They have great ski/snowboarding lessons and teams

For the Twin Cities, it is about as good as it going to get. It is not called Buck Mountain fir a reason, but there's nothing they can do about that. It has a good terrain park or two depending on when it is in the season, good events and competitive fairs. Strongly reccomend taking advantage of the sunday night specials to end the weekend off strong!

Took my visitors here to try tubing. They had fun. Price is too expensive though.

Super fun. Super busy. 7 person wait per line for tubing on a Sunday afternoon.

A great bang for the buck, no pun intended.
Friendly staff, nice variety of runs, and competitive prices. Awesome tubing hills too. The bar and restaurant called Black Diamond has great food and a decent beer selection. The cafeteria has good food as well.

Tons of fun. Lines get pretty long in the afternoon.

It was a all around nice place to be, the people where nice and everyone was up bet

I broke my leg there and the ski patrol did nothing about it

First time snow tubing. It was super fun. With conveyer belt to take you up for the tubing , made it super easy. Great place for snow tubing , skiing!!
