Seven Springs allows uphill travel only under its posted policy. The ascent route, turnaround deadline and descent all belong in the plan; an uphill pass does not make every trail available.
The policy currently displayed
| Requirement | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Pass | A season pass is required. |
| Start | Two hours before slopes open. |
| Summit deadline | 09:00 weekdays; 08:00 weekends. Turn around if you will not reach it by then. |
| Ascent | Village Trail, Village Trail Bypass and Boomerang. |
| Equipment | Skins/cross-country skis; snowshoes are not permitted. |
Choose the descent before climbing
The resort lists Village Trail, Village Trail Bypass, Boomerang, Goosebumps and Avalanche as descent options. They do not all imply the same difficulty. Pick a permitted descent suited to your skiing and today’s conditions before starting; reaching the summit does not resolve that choice. North Face uphill access is excluded by the policy.
Prepare for operations around you
- Check the day’s opening time, restrictions and uphill permission with the resort.
- Park in resort parking and check in at the Avalanche-base patrol location as directed.
- Use a headlamp and reflective clothing in low light or fog. Pets are not permitted.
- Stay away from grooming equipment and winch operations. Rescue services are not available outside lift operating hours under the posted policy.
