Boston Mills and Brandywine
Two ski hills between Cleveland and Akron. The operator runs one website and prints one set of statistics for the pair, so this is one page. Its 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.
“At Boston Mills/Brandywine, you have access to two ski areas just 5 minutes apart.”
One lift ticket grants you access to both resorts in a single day (only 5 mins apart!)
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026) The directions page says the same of passes: your lift tickets and season passes are valid at both Boston Mills and Brandywine
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026).

The lines we quote from Boston Mills Brandywine, 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.
The page gives these as one set of figures for both hills. It doesn’t split trails or lifts between Boston Mills and Brandywine, and neither do we.
How do the two differ?

What did the hours page say?
When we read it on November 11, 2026, the page was still headed with last season’s notice: Now Closed for 25/26 Season
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026). It added: we look forward to welcoming you back next season!
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026) One of its holiday rows read Christmas Eve (12/24) TBD TBD TBD
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026). No hours for the coming winter were there, and we won’t guess an opening 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 about Polar Blast tubing?
From the directions page: Polar Blast Snow Tubing Park is located next to Brandywine and the two share a driveway entrance.
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026) Tubing parking at Brandywine is at the Polar Blast Lodge, found by going right at the fork in the road when driving down our main entry road
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026).
The operator’s description: Get ready for the best snow tubing in Ohio, at Brandywine!
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026) The hours page has a column of its own for it, headed Polar Blast (Snow Tubing)
(bmbw.com, read November 11, 2026).
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. The operator’s own claim for the park: NORTHEAST OHIO'S LARGEST TUBING PARK!

The one price recorded from the page: $37 rate for advance and walkup.
(bmbw.com, read in a browser November 11, 2026) That line names no season. When it was read the page was still showing last winter’s notices, Regular Winter Hours (Closed for the Season)
(bmbw.com, read in a browser November 11, 2026) and POLAR BLAST TUBING IS CURRENTLY OFF SALE
(bmbw.com, read in a browser November 11, 2026), so we can’t say which winter the rate belongs to.
On weather: We will only close for severe weather or conditions that create unsafe operations for guests and staff.
