Ober Mountain

They created their snow using shaved ice! You have the option to go tubing, snowboarding, and even ice skating inside. Plus, there were bumper carts to enjoy. The view from the tram was absolutely breathtaking, and there was also a zoo area outside.

Great place to visit for tubing. Although, getting in for parking is challenging, and if you’re waiting inside the lodge, it’s very cold. If you can find a heater or spot in front of the fireplace, it’s much more tolerable, but it can be tough to find a warm place to sit. Seats fill up quickly, and the doors are often left open. So even if you’re not planning on spending time in the snow, I’d still advise to dress warmly.

Most of the reviews posted here reflected the reality. We are trying to save people thinking of spending a day here from the terrible experience we had. We waited 30-45 minutes in line to buy wristband, if you think it’s definitely what you want to do, buy tickets online. We then spent most of the day in line to get to the mountain coaster, which was 3-4 hours so once we were done nothing else was still open. We had to pay $50 per person separately for snow tubing. The tram is like a bus that carries 80+ people at the time so you don’t really get to see the view in such a stuffed car. When people complained about 2 hours wait to get to the tram to go down from the mountain they were not lying. The line gets incredibly long starting from 4 pm either on the way up or down the mountain. So plan accordingly that you might have to take the tram very early on and have a back up plan to get back to where you park such as sending one person back early to get the car. I decided to take my kid here for the snow tubing and in hindsight I should have not spent any more money for anything else except for the snow tubing itself. We ended up spending a few hundreds dollars on very little things we were able to do. We could have done mountain coaster in several places with no wait for $17 per person. It’s true the place is badly managed and employees do not care because it’s equally bad every day during this time of the year.

New management is fantastic however, prices have gone up significantly. We spent over $600 for one day of fun with a three person family. Check out the new upstairs lodge, relaxation area. It’s over the top and very nicely done by an interior decorator.

For the price of the wrist band it's hard to find a better deal that includes so much. The Aerial Tramway ride going up and down the mountain was very entertaining. The conductors were funny and very entertaining and knowledgeable. It's definitely a bit dated however the views are amazing! I did several of the activities which were included in the piece of the wrist band. If you want to do some of the activities then there is an additional cost however if you're just bringing the family with kids, the wristband provides you with more than enough activities. As an adult (almost 50) I've always wanted to do the spider jump trampoline and since it was included in the price of the wrist band and I was on vacation I seized my chance! It was fun and so much work! Squats in the gym have nothing on the work out this provided for me! All the kids and most of the adults were staring at me while I stood in line, I didn't care. I was on vacation!

We visited Friday 1/10/2025. We arrived fairly early as advised. I bought all tickets online a few days before as well. My husband and 2 teen daughters enjoyed skiing and snowboarding. We had no waits when we arrived. The equipment was good. I rented bibs for myself because I accidentally forgot them and they were great. The prices were high but expected for skiing. My younger 2 kids and myself tried tubing. That was a great experience but maybe a little overpriced. I didn’t love that the only place for kids/famlies to play outside (snow zone) cost $15 each to get in when we had already spent $500+ on ski & tube admission. It snowed the whole time we were there so that was exceptionally magical. The kids liked the bumber cars? And enjoyed ice skating too however the skates are in horrible condition and need to be replaced. Everyone was very friendly and helpful that we encountered. The food was decent and high but that’s expected at any “amusement park” type venue. Over all we all had a great day! It was a weekday so there really were not any crowds. It was a very expensive day which would have been even more had it been a weekend, but skiing is expensive in general. I do recommend but people need realistic expectations and should plan accordingly. I WAS NOT a fan of the extremely LOUD music inside and out! It was like being in a dance club and I could barely talk to my family.

We enjoyed ober mountain. My four kids ages 7-17 had a blast. It was pricey! But I did expect that before going. Paid 10$ to park in the ober parking lot behind the tramway on the bottom of the mountain. Got 5 wrist bands 275$ for 4 activities the others were closed for the day. for the tramway to take us up to the mountain and back down to car, ice skating was a-lot of fun was glad they had things to hold on to for no so stable skaters !! bumper cars, chairlift (so pretty! Do not skip! Go to the top for the views ), the merry go round was small, my kids did not want to ride looked for children under 5. Then extra $175 for four passes for snow tubing. Everyone had a great time and we want to come again to try snow boarding.

Ober Mountain had been under new management for 2 years. It is a great place to visit however there are some issues and I really hope they work on these quickly. The scenic chair lift leads to a view that is outstanding, however the ride itself is definitely not scenic. There wa construction mess and general trash all along the way and it seems that this would have been an easy fix. Get rid of the trash and hide the construction stuff in one spot. The toboggan ride was fun but the toboggans are heavy and having to haul it myself was a challenge. Also, the Mountain Coaster ride was a solid 2 hour wait. It's a great ride but debatable on whether it's worth it. I would love to see more attractions added so that the crowds are better dispersed. However, the donuts in the shop that leads to the Mountain Coaster ride are more than worth the entire ticket. They are perfection. The $12 you will spend for that little bag of heaven is the stuff of legends. It has been 2 weeks now and I still dream about those donuts. All in all, or a fun day out and I can see they are working on improvements, just hide all your mess behind a nicely built fence in one spot and that would have made a world of difference. I purposely did not include photos of the mess in the hopes that it will be fixed quickly.
