Mont Ripley

Ripley friends and neighbors- the momma and baby bears have now been spotted crossing the hill a few times.

Yes, they are cute, but no, please DO NOT attempt to feed or pet them!

The City of Hancock has requested taking in bird feeders and pet feed food to discourage them from coming closer to houses.

Be safe. And help keep wildlife wild. 🐻

Spring is here and while there’s not much snow left for skiing, it seems folks are still exploring the hill.

This is just a friendly reminder that our Mountain Ops staff are still out on the hill with snowmobiles, and other machinery and they are now doing maintenance on the lifts.

For your safety, this means you must stay clear of the chair lifts, chairs, and machines at all times. Lifts may start up intermittently without notice.

Stay alert, and be aware of the Mountain Ops team if you plan to be on the hill.

‼️Lost Gear at Mont Ripley‼️

These skis and snowboard were left behind at Mont Ripley, and we’re looking to reunite them with their rightful owners.

Think they might be yours? To claim them, you’ll need to identify a few key details such as brand, color, size, or binding type to verify ownership.

You can send us a DM here or send an email to [email protected] and we will find a way to get them back to you.

Help us get this gear back where it belongs!
