Trails

This ski hill has challenging ski trails and an average share of intermediate and limited beginner runs. Welch Village has nine chairlifts: four quad lifts, four double chairs, and one triple chair. The majority of the area is lit for night skiing with the exception of the terrain served by the triple chair and the new "Back Bowl" expert terrain.

Welch features more than 50 trails running through a hardwood forest, with all of the trails devoted to skiers and snowboarders at beginner and intermediate levels. Several are designed to present a challenge: Dan's Dive is a long, narrow shot through the woods; and Sweeny Run is prime, fall-line skiing.

In recent years, Welch has undergone a significant expansion, doubling their snowmaking capacity and opening a new expert only area that is served by a new Doppelmayer 4 place chairlift installed in the fall of 2008.
