Wolf Creek Terrain
Wolf Creek operates on 1,600 acres spread along a high alpine ridge in the Rio Grande National Forest, under a U.S. Forest Service permit and administration. The uniqueness of Wolf Creek lies in the 1,000 acres between Horseshoe Bowl and the Water Fall area, which is called the Alberta Lift area.
This wilderness provides everything from the challenging double black diamond runs of the Knife Ridge chutes to a variety of intermediate terrain where navigation skills are called into action. Groomed runs are also a part of the scheme complimenting the excitement and challenge of the Alberta Lift area. The traditional trails are the main core of Wolf Creek with 6 lifts servicing 600 acres of terrain all leading into the base area facilities.

What's New This Season at Wolf Creek
The Wolf Creek Lodge is serving it up this season with a newly remodeled kitchen with new flooring, siding, counter tops and appliances as well as new carpeting throughout. The restrooms on the lower level have been improved replacing older water saving facilities with newer ones as well as new partitions. A new look will also greet skiers on the Wolf Creek web-site! The site continues to be user friendly and visually exciting.
All your favorite features of the old site are available including the live web-cam, daily snow report and calendar of special events but the new site will enable season pass holders to purchase their season passes online. It will be the first time season passes will be sold on-line. The soil on Bunny Hop and Divide Trail has been enriched with mushroom infused topsoil to promote thick vegetation and improved early season conditions. Bonanza Trail has been widened by 10 feet so beginner skiers and boarders can make wider turns.
