"Great place to ski. Brought as young as 5 year old here. If you're just buying lift tickets you can hit up the outside window. My only complaint is the snow usually melts in the summer. But who has snow in the summer so it's no different than other Minnesota ski hills."

"It was my first time skiing and the bunny hill was an actual beginner hill. There are many runs, ranging in difficulty and we had a blast. We used their 2 for 1 package: pay full price on Saturday, stay at an approved hotel (listed on their site), and ski for free on Sunday. Whatever gear you rented the first day is free the 2nd day as well! So fun!"

"Brought my girl and her two kids tubing. They had 4 different kinds of hills for that and the guys at the top would spin us even me if we asked. It was $25 per person for two hours. By the end of it I was exhausted but the kids slept the whole way home :)"

"Really fun place! Our group of 4 had a blast tubing! They had single and double rider tubes and the lift was easy to maneuver up. You can tie up to 4 riders together if you are looking to get some major speed! Great place to get your snow fix during a milder winter too"

"We love Andes Tower Hills. Super relaxed atmosphere. Lessons for our kids were super helpful and we are so grateful for the staff. Gail, David, Joe, and Todd gave our kids the confidence they need to realize they have a passion for skiing. They even ran into us on the slopes and helped our kids when they saw them struggling and it was well outside of our lesson time. The owner, Tom, was so kind he even called us a..."

"Normally we wouldn’t travel this far from the metro but Andes is an early opener and is now on the Indy Pass. So glad we made the trip. Excellent staff and Tom the manager went out of his way to make our visit special. Very excited to visit again during the season. Definitely worth the trip from the metro in my opinion."
