The ski area features four chairlifts, a beginner's tow and three-story chalet with warming fireplace and cafe. Buena Vista's downhill facilities are also home to the exciting sport of snowboarding. There's a specially-designed ski run just for snowboarders. For the sheer romance of it all, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride in an authentic sled through the snowy countryside of Buena Vista. Tours will take you around the historic village and through breathtaking, scenic trails.
Private rides are available with a reservation.
The Buena Vista Village is also a unique historic attraction. The complex includes a pioneer schoolhouse, church, camp building and Logger's Museum filled with artifacts from early logging camps. Nineteen ninety seven marks the centennial year of the town of Buena Vista. The once bustling pioneer logging community soon vanished after the railroad built in Bemidji at the end of the last century. All that remains is the charming, historic village at the foot of the ski hill.
