Alpine Valley
The hill east of Cleveland, on Mayfield Road in Chesterland. The operator’s own description comes first.
No snow report here. We don’t know what any hill is doing today, and nothing on this page tells you whether to drive. Hours, lifts, lanes and snow are the operator’s to report: follow the link to its own page first. Why we work this way.
“Located in the heart of the Snowbelt, Alpine Valley boasts excellent beginner centric terrain to help you progress through your learning journey.”
Alpine Valley is a great place to try out skiing or snowboarding.

The lines we quote from Alpine Valley, Mountain info name no season. We read the page on November 11, 2026.
“Snowmaking Coverage” is the operator’s figure for how much of the hill its snow guns can reach. It describes equipment, not the state of the hill today.
It prints no vertical drop
The other three Ohio hills print one. Alpine Valley’s page gives a top elevation and a base elevation instead. Subtracting one from the other gives 240 feet. That is our subtraction, not a figure the operator states, and a hill’s skiable drop can be less than the difference between its highest and lowest points.
How old is it?
Opened in 1965
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read November 11, 2026): Alpine Valley is one of the oldest ski areas in Ohio.
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read November 11, 2026) After dark: At Alpine Valley you can ski into the night under our bright lights for a unique skiing experience!

On its snowmaking equipment, in a line that describes equipment, not the state of the hill today: Alpine Valley features 100% snowmaking coverage with dozens of snow guns!

What did its hours page say?
When we read it on November 11, 2026, the page had no table of hours. It said: In just a few short weeks, Alpine Valley will once again come alive with snow-covered runs, familiar faces, and the moments that make winter so special.
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read November 11, 2026) Stay tuned for updates about our opening day!
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read November 11, 2026) We won’t guess a date. Vail Resorts’ newsroom: Additional resort opening dates will be announced in the coming months. Opening dates are subject to change based on weather and conditions.

Read the hours page yourself; it will change before this page does.
What does it offer a first-timer?

We found no lesson price on the Alpine Valley pages we could read. First time skiing has what the readable pages say.
Is there tubing?
Not that we could find. The word doesn’t appear on Alpine Valley’s mountain information, hours or directions pages, which is where the other two Vail Resorts hills in Ohio mention their tubing parks. That is an absence on the pages we read on November 11, 2026. It isn’t a statement from the operator, so ask before you promise anyone a tube. The snow tubing page lists the parks that do say so.
What did its lift ticket page show?
A plain request to this page reaches a waiting room, so it was read in a web browser on November 11, 2026 and only the lines recorded then are quoted. Ticket prices on it change with the date you choose. When it was read the page had this date selected: Wed, December 30, 2026
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read in a browser November 11, 2026). It also carried the heading FIRST DAY ON THE SLOPES
(alpinevalleyohio.com, read in a browser November 11, 2026). That heading marks the first date the page sells tickets for. It is not an announced first day of operation, and we won’t guess one.
These are the price lines the page showed for that date when it was read. Prices may differ for another date:
ADULT (AGES 13-64) $89 PER DAY
