The resort's trails are for skiers and snowboarders alike, and for all levels of ability.

The resort opens the beginning of December until mid-April, operating Wednesday through Sundays from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Blacktail has an annual natural snowfall of 250 inches with 70 percent of the mountain devoted to intermediate skiers.
Just minutes from the Blacktail Mountain Lodge are 40 kilometers of groomed trails for cross-country skiing.
