Chestnut Mountain is more than a place to ski. It’s a place to stay. With over 100 slopeside rooms with an indoor pool, sauna and jacuzzi right by, you’ll love the way you lodge at Chestnut Mountain. We’ve got incredible restaurants too.

 

This resort has a 2,050-foot slide you hop on a mini go-kart and go FLYING... I mean you're literally zipping down a huge hill at 40mph.

The view - I wasn't lying, isn't it breathtaking? Wow.

Chestnut Mountain also offers ziplining in a unique way.  You're SITTING side by side with your bestie with only a seatbelt to keep you in your seat.  Look at it, this thing is nuts!  I was too scared to go on it, I'm not a huge risktaker.

After consistently being rated one of the top 10 ski resorts in the Midwest, they have over 19 ski slopes and snowboard trails you can choose from.

From Thanksgiving through St. Patrick’s Day, guests can get their fill of the mountain’s 475-foot vertical drop and 3,500-ft slopes.

 

Not only do they offer attractions, you can even have your wedding here!  I mean, who wouldn't with the incredible sights they have?
