Beginner Area

First Time visitors will be pleased to find slopes which are referred to as "Easiest" to learn the ropes of skiing and snowboarding. At Eldora, we have designated these areas with signs for you to easily identify with. Beginner slopes are marked with a "GREEN CIRCLE".


The place to start at Eldora Mountain Resort is the beginner learning area — Little Hawk Family Zone. This beginner area is equipped with 2 surface tows (rope tows) and a "Magic Carpet" for easy transportation. With a lesson or two from our professional SnowSports school staff, you can progress to the double or triple chairlifts in the Family Zone and start working your way through the green, easiest trails to eventually move into the blue, more difficult trails found in the Little Hawk Family Zone.
