COVID-19 Notice: Exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any public location where people are present. Mount Peter has implemented protocols to prioritize guest health and safety, but we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed to COVID-19 during your visit. The risk of being exposed or becoming sick due to COVID-19 cannot be eliminated. Every skier and rider share the responsibility for a safe and healthy skiing experience.

Mount Peter’s programs are non-refundable, and will not be extended, even if your child misses time due to illness.
