Afton Alps

Minnesota

<p>Afton Alps sits along the rolling hills of the scenic St Croix River Valley. Surrounded by Afton State Park, this sprawling area offers enough runs to keep a <a href="https://www.onthesnow.com/news/ski-or-ride-for-the-kids/">skier or snowboarder</a> busy both day and night just exploring the whole layout.</p>
<p>Spread out along a wedge-shaped ridge overlooking the river valley, it's massive for a <a href="https://www.onthesnow.com/midwest/ski-resorts">Midwest ski area</a>. With 48 trails, four terrain parks and 18 chairlifts, there's also enough terrain variety to keep a family of skiers happy.</p>

No on-site lodging but there are numerous hotels, motels and inns within 10 minutes of the ski area.

Ski school has group and private lessons, camp, special programs for youth/adults/women, and the Alpine Club for teen racers.
