Tell Us What You Want at Ward Ski Area

We are working with the U.S. Forest Service to look at possibilities for expanding or moving our main Ward trailhead. We’re also discussing the possibility of new trails there and expanded grooming. We fully intend to preserve the opportunities for backcountry skiing at Ward, but we are also looking at possibly doing a little more grooming (as we have in past years) to allow groomed loops and more access. Over the December holidays, we experimented with grooming East Ward to make a groomed loop and are considering doing this on a regular basis next year. We are also looking at possibly grooming some other trails at Ward next year. But we want to know what you want. Let us know, by taking this brief survey. Or email Christie@gmnc.org.
