Mad River Mountain
Ohio
NEW FOR 2008-2009
2 NEW TRAILS!!!!! - We added 2 new trails to the face of Mad River Mountain. The trails are east of Valley View and are each 2300 feet long. They are named Eagles Nest and Deer Run and are serviced by the new Momentum Triple Lift Chair and will connect with Valley View.

The NEW AVALANCHE TUBING PARK!!!- We moved the Avalanche Tubing Park and made it bigger and better. There is a new carpet lift to take you up to the top of 10 chutes that are each 900 feet long. The Timberline Lodge at the Tubing Park has a cafe and bathrooms along with a parking lot.

NEW BEGINNER TERRAIN PARK!!!!! - We've added a whole new Beginner Terrain Park, the Polaris Terrain Park. We gave it a surface lift all it's own, and created a park for snowboarders and twin-tip skiers that are new to the sport.
