Dodge Ridge
With all its modern amenities, easy rolling shoulders, calming views, and rugged beauty, Dodge Ridge remains a throwback to
an on-snow experience that harkens back to a former era launched by exuberant outdoorsmen. There are few off-slope
attractions. The resort remains more of a rarefied mountain outpost where people, bound by a collective independent
spirit, happily rub elbows and revel in the seductive vistas and beautiful wonder of nature. The high alpine resort still
prides itself on being all things to all people. Winter sports enthusiasts will enjoy snowboarding, skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
