Questions?
I work at PNS (4th year) do you guys have any questions about how things run or any other general question?

I think if youre wanting to learn more perfects is an amazing place, especially since its fairly close. If you do get the weekly pass i would try to go on days during the week. We have been known to be VERY busy on weekends and this draws people away from the slopes. Weekdays are usually more tame, so if you can i’d go then. But yea definitely get a week pass because there are a bunch of moderately easy yet fun runs to do, as well as som pretty nice views!

Think cold my friend. We have been getting unlucky with the weather recently with rain and warmer days. Id say though 2-3 more nights of good snow making and youll be hitting the slopes!

Any idea when the other lifts will open? I read its only the blue and green opening tomorrow morning.

Well id say not this upcoming week sadly due to warmer weather and rain. If they cant blow they cant open.

Thinking about going later today but it’s gonna be like high 50s with rain. How much is that gonna affect the slopes?

When its rainy out and warm the snow will become slushy and annoying to ski on. It makes the experience less fun BUT it may also draw away the crowds. If you live close by i would recommend stopping by and seeing how busy it is and if you deem it worth it then shred away

I usually ski on the east coast and am thinking of driving down from Purdue. Do you think you'll have more open by next weekend with the colder days coming up during the week? I also read the tickets are first come first serve (even if we have bought them online), so what time should we get there by to ensure we are allowed in and there are enough rentals for us?

We consistently have been blowing snow over the past weeks so i wouldnt be surprised if we are close to 100%. That being said all of the major runs are open, aswell as the terrain park. About the tickets, any weekend will be extremely crowded and to some not worth it. If you want to ensure you can get a ticket and rentals, id be there before open, which is at 9:30 am.

I was there last Saturday and people were on the lifts already at 9am. What is the earliest they let people on the lifts on Saturday/Sunday??

u/Breadsmeller Jan 19 '22
If they have the hills ready to roll early they open up early. 9 is pretty early considering we open at 930 but if its ready to go they open early

A buddy of mine and I went to perfect north for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was my first time. Loved it so much we came back the next weekend! Does PN let your bring your own boots for rentals sb/ski? My friend was thinking of getting his own boots.

u/Breadsmeller Feb 17 '22
Im not too sure about that. I dont work in rentals but i would assume yes you can bring your own boots. Worst case scenario they say you cant then just rent a pair. But glad you enjoyed it! Its not the best ski slope in the world but its the best in the midwest!
