Here at Porters, we have fantastic terrain and lifts suited for beginner and intermediate skiers and boarders. Our beginners carpet lift and expansive beginners area is perfect for first timers, while the Platter lift and intermediate area is the perfect transition before moving onto T-1 and further up the ski area.
If you’re new to snow sports, a beginners package is just what you need to progress your skills. In addition, we’ve put together the Porters Passport, which takes you from day one through the learning process and culminates in a complimentary season pass for the rest of the season.
Whatever your ability, you’ll feel right at home at Porters. We’ve got gentle runs and easy lifts for beginners and kids, long cruising runs for the intermediates, and super challenging terrain for advanced skiers and riders. The Porters Community Park offers a challenge for the more adventurous, and a great platform to progress your freestyle skills.
