We are now CLOSED for the 2022-23 winter season.
Thank you all for a wonderful season and we look forward to making turns with you once again next winter!
Everyone who uses the snow surfaces and lifts at Ragged Mountain must have a valid daily Lift Ticket or 2022-23 Season Pass. This includes the use all ski slopes, chairlifts and carpet lifts. It also includes Uphill Ski Touring and Hikers in winter.
Four years ago we introduced a new RFID card system. Your RFID card will allow you easy access to the chairlifts and is 100% re-loadable, so you'll be able to skip the ticket window lines and go directly to the lifts! The card is a one-time $5 purchase, but has a shelf life of 5 years.

Approved Equipment
The only approved equipment for lift service at Ragged Mountain is skis, snowboards and snowskates with METAL edges and retention devices that appropriately fit. Equipment not allowed includes but is not limited to snowskates without metal edge ski under deck, snowscooters, and snowbikes.
Children Riding on the Lift
Any child riding a chair lift at Ragged Mountain Resort must be wearing skis or a snowboard and have sufficient ability to ride the lift. They must be familiar with proper loading, riding, and unloading practices as well as etiquette. Transporting a child in a backpack or front pack on any chair lift or surface lift at Ragged Mountain Resort is prohibited.
Uphill Policy
Guests traveling uphill
must check in at Guest Services. A season pass or a $10 uphill ticket must
be acquired for uphill access.*
- Any uphill hiking or skinning outside of operating hours is prohibited.
- Anyone skinning or hiking uphill must check in at Guest Services. (Hikers or guests on snowshoes MUST have metal edge skis or snowboards for descending)
- Uphill traffic will not be allowed to start uphill after 3:00pm. *This accounts for the 45min to 1 hour it takes the general public to summit and ski back down to the base area before the lifts close and Ski Patrol does their final trail sweeps for the day.
- A nominal fee or a season pass is required to use Ragged Mountain’s facilities.
- The ascending route will be determined each day and may be changed at any time Ski Patrol, Mountain Ops, or Guest Services determines necessary.
- Primary Route When Open
- New as of the last season, we have created a route that enters Pines from the left side of the base area, up through Reggae Glades, across the Wild Side intersection, and into a uphill specific track located under the power lines. This enables you to safely skin off of Blueberry and access the summit just behind Patrol Headquarters.
- Early season route is Lower Ridge to the top of Wild Side.
- Until one of these routes is open, there is NO uphill touring, hiking or snowshoeing.
- People will be instructed to tour / hike on the skier’s right side of the trail. This will pose no more of an obstacle than a stopped skier or boarder.
- No dogs allowed on hill!
- Ski patrol will ski determined trail to reinforce instructions to uphill users.
- Lift and base personnel will alert ski patrol in the event of hikers starting up any trail. (Hikers or guests on snowshoes MUST have metal edge skis or snowboards for descending)
- The infrequency of this practice should not pose a problem to the mountain operations.
* Please
remember as an uphill user, you are a guest of the resort and fall under the
same terms, conditions, acknowledgement of risk (RSA 225A:3) and release of
liability as any other guest of the ski area. Access is at your own risk.
Uphill Skier Code:
- Get permission to travel
uphill

trails
- If the ski area designates
specific uphill routes, always stay on them
