The resort typically enjoys a moderate amount of snowfall and operates from late November to early April, depending on conditions. The terrain at Echo Mountain is varied, with a good mix of beginner and intermediate runs, and while it may not have extensive advanced terrain, it does feature a terrain park for those looking to practice their freestyle skills.
