  • On weekends and busy days we will be operating an outdoor scanning booth for season passholders who do not wish to enter the building.

COVID-19 

Exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any public location where people are present.  Trollhaugen cannot guarantee you will not be exposed to COVID-19 during your visit.  The risk of being exposed or becoming sick due to COVID-19 cannot be eliminated.  Every skier and rider shares the responsibility for a safe and healthy skiing experience.  It is your responsibility to read and comply with all instructions and signage posted at the ski area and on trollhaugen.com.  Please stay home if you are sick or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
