Resorts Terry-Peak-Ski-Area
Area Profile
Terry Peak is set on 400 acres in the beautiful northern Black Hills of South Dakota. It sits at 7,100 feet in elevation and has a vertical drop of 1,100 feet, making it the biggest ski area in the heartland. Five chairlifts, including 2 high-speed quads, serve the facility with 20 miles of trails for all ability levels. An average annual snowfall of 150 inches, plus top-notch snowmaking over 60 percent of the mountain, insure great surface conditions throughout the season. The Holy Terror Half-Pipe, KSNO Radio (Terry Peak's own radion station) and a beginner chairlift for lessons only, are additional ammenities to this full-service area. Terry Peak is just minutes from the historic towns of Lead and Deadwood, the old stomping grounds of Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane. It's as close to "real Western" mountain skiing as you'll find in the Midwest. New this season is lots of expert terrain and glades that have been opened or reopened and an expanded terrain park.
