Winter Ski Weekend at Terry Peak
If you’re dreaming of a winter escape filled with fresh mountain air, scenic views, and easy access to the slopes, a ski weekend at Terry Peak in the Black Hills delivers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Just minutes from Deadwood, Terry Peak Ski Area offers an ideal winter getaway for families, couples, and friend groups alike.
Day 1: Arrival & Après-Ski Vibes
Kick off your weekend by settling into your cozy mountain Deadwood Connections home near Terry Peak. After the drive into the Black Hills, there’s nothing better than unloading, grabbing a warm drink, and soaking in the pine-covered views.
If you arrive early enough, take advantage of a few evening runs at Terry Peak’s night skiing—one of the area’s standout features. With well-lit slopes and fewer crowds, it’s a great way to ease into your weekend before heading back to your rental for a relaxed night in by the fire.
Day 2: Full Day on the Slopes
Saturday is all about skiing and snowboarding. Terry Peak Ski Area boasts a variety of runs suitable for all skill levels, from beginner-friendly slopes to challenging terrain for seasoned skiers. The lift lines are typically shorter than major resort destinations, meaning more time on the mountain and less time waiting.
Break for lunch at the base lodge, then head back out for a few more runs before calling it a day.
After skiing, warm up with après-ski favorites: hot cocoa, local brews, or a home-cooked meal back at your cabin. Our Terry Peak rentals offer spacious living areas, perfect for board games, movie nights, or simply relaxing after a full day outdoors.
Day 3: Slow Morning & Exploring Deadwood
Wrap up your ski weekend with a slower Sunday morning. Enjoy coffee with mountain views before checking out and heading into nearby Deadwood.
Stroll historic Main Street, grab brunch at a local café, or try your luck at one of the casinos before heading home.
If conditions allow, you may even squeeze in a few final morning runs before departure - making the most of every minute in the Black Hills!
