Snowy Range Ski Area, often called Tetons West, is a compact ski hill perched above the Medicine Bow–Routt National Forest and nestled between the Snowy Range peaks. The resort is known for its reliable high-altitude snow, gentle beginner slopes, and moderate intermediate terrain, making it a popular choice for families and local skiers. Trails radiate out from a summit near 9,750 ft and descend to base areas accessed via a primary lift and a few surface tows. Visitors typically approach from the east via Interstate 80 near Laramie, then drive a short mountain road to the ski area. Facilities are modest but include ski school, rentals, and a lodge, with nearby services in Laramie to the east. Activities extend beyond downhill skiing to include snowboarding, cross-country trails, and winter hiking, while summer options like mountain biking and alpine camping make it a year-round outdoor destination.
