Maple Ski Ridge
      Overview Resort Statistics Lift Statistics Trail Statistics Other Services Contact Info Directions

Maple Ski Ridge in Schenectady, NY is a small, friendly, easy ski area perfect for families and beginners. There really is nothing at the ski area that would challenge experts or even intermediates, but its main strengths as a family/beginner mountain truly shine through. The area is located about 5 miles out of Schenectady off of Rte 159. It has a vertical drop of about 250 feet, 8 trails/slopes. The terrain is served by a late model speedy Borvig Triple, a Hall Double, a pony lift, and an older rope tow. Lift rates are affordable; all are under 22 dollars for the day. The base lodge is warm and friendly, with lots of sunlight. You can park almost right next to the slopes so there's no lugging equipment around. They also have tubing.

Basically, like its name, Maple Ski Ridge truly is set on a ridge. To the right is a view of the hill from the base lodge looking up. You can see just about the whole mountain. The double is on the right and the triple at the far left. The beginner area is off to the right of this photo. As you can see, there is not much to the ski area, but it is wide open. The top 30% of the hill is moderately pitched but quickly eases onto a long runout where one doesn't have to make any turns. This can get tiring after a while but is great for kids.
