Frequently Asked Questions
We do! Both day lockers and season lockers will be available this season:

Yes, you can ride your own ski bike if you meet the following two requirements:
- Ski bike riders visiting Sunrise require a safety certification by the ski bike staff prior to loading the lifts, regardless of their experience or personal equipment to ensure the safety of themselves and other visitors.
- Your bike has to be inspected by the ski bike staff to ensure it has the proper safety features.
Ski Bikes are only allowed on Cyclone Circle and Apache Peak.
Yes! We have Ski Biking lessons on Saturdays and Sundays at Cyclone Base once that mountain opens this season. Ski Bike lessons are available for ages 13+. More information about ski bike lessons is available below:
Ski Biking (also known as Skibobbing) is a bicycle-like frame with skis instead of wheels. Ski Bike rentals and lessons are available at the base of Cyclone Circle. First-time ski bike riders at Sunrise Park Resort require a safety certification by the ski bike staff prior to loading the lifts, regardless of their experience or personal equipment to ensure the safety of themselves and other visitors.
- You must be at least 10 years of age.
- Permittable weight range: 70lbs to 230lbs.
- Must wear close-toed shoes that can be secured to your feet. No sandals, flip-flops, or crocs.
- No hats or other lose objects that can fly off during your zip line ride.
- Guests must not be over 3 months pregnant.
Guests must wear closed-toe shoes, flat heels. Long hair must be tied back. Remove all jewelry or scarves. Remove extra layers of clothing

The Tubing Hill is back! Sunrise does not offer on-site sledding, but we have a tubing hill at the base of Sunrise mountain with fun for everyone 6 and up. Hours and tickets are available at the link below:
No. Temperature readings below 36°F should alert you to the possibility of road icing. Read more about Icy Road Conditions.
- Start with a comfortable, breatheable base layer like thermal underwear, merino wool, etc.
- Wear only one thin pair of socks (merino wool is optimal since it wicks moisture away from your feet and is very warm). This is important! Wearing thick, bulky socks or multiple pairs of socks restricts circulation, creates pressure points and does not allow your feet to breathe.
- If it is especially cold, you can add a sweater or fleece over your base layer. Wear something that is easy to shed if the sun comes out and warms things up.
- Waterproof outerwear (pants & jackets), especially for beginners who tend to fall a lot. Jeans and sweatpants get wet quickly in snow and will ice up. Skiing or snowboarding is a lot more fun when you are warm and dry!
- Waterproof gloves or mittens will keep your fingers toasty warm. Knit gloves will get wet after falling only a couple of times, not so fun. Be sure your children have waterproof gloves/mittens as well.
- Goggles or UV protective sunglasses/eyewear. Snow is a natural reflector of sunlight. Without UV protection your eyes (cornea) can get a “sunburn” which feels scratchy and uncomfortable. Like skin, repeated cornea burns can cause long term damage. So take care of your eyes – wear sunglasses!
- Don’t forget a warm beanie, hat or helmet to keep your head warm! There’s a lot to be said about having a warm head when it’s snowing outside, so be prepared and bring your helmet, hat or beanie!

Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. At areas, you may see people using alpine skis, snowboards, telemark skis, cross country skis, and other specialized equipment, such as that used by people with disabilities. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below, and share with other skiers and riders the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
- Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
- You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
- Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
- Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.
Know the code. It’s your responsibility.
*Note: This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
The National Ski Areas Association has put together a “Know the Code” video; view it below.
