Swain ski area, New York, Management Description <<< Back to Swain ski area main page   Swain ski area Management Says: NEW TRAIL: MAVERICK We once again rolled out the bulldozer and cut a new trail! ''MAVERICK'' is an intermediate run that is a quarter mile long and averages 180 feet wide. The West Woods trail expansion has grown Swain Resort's trail system by over 12% in skiable acres with more to come! In Bina Robinson's book about the founding of Swain Resort (With Our Own Four Hands, available at Amazon.com) there was mention of     ''Last Will'' originally being named ''Last Will and Testament.'' With last year's trail expansion opening the possibility for Snowriders to bypass the steep part of Last Will and continue further down, we have taken the opportunity to bring back ''Testament'' as a blue square that can be accessed from either the ''Last Will'' headwall or from what is now ''The Pass'' and ''Fool's Gold'' in keeping with our West Woods theme. In addition to ''Maverick'' the new cut-through between Maverick and Twister will be a blue square called ''Bandit's Pass''. NEW TRAIL: THE GLADE We have opened up some fantastic glade skiing & riding above 80-acres and between Dozey Doe and Ben Blakely. The Swain       Snowsport Instructors have spent many hours clearning the underbrush so that ''The Glade'' can be officially opened this year. Be sure to check it out when the snow flies! NEW TRAIL: MAGIC MOUNTAIN The Magic Carpet has found   a new home on the west side of Lower Robinson where we carved out and regraded a new learning zone called ''Magic Mountain''. No longer do you have to worry about rope tows or loading and unloading from the chairlift at Swain Resort's Magic Mountain(tm). Just slide up, hop on, and ride to make your First Turns, Your Best Turns!   Hotels Near Swain ski area, New York Allegiance Bed and Breakfast, Mount Morris 12.8 miles away Country Inn & Suites By Carlson Mount Morris, Mount Morris 13.4 miles away Days Inn Hornell NY, Hornell 13.7 miles away Econo Lodge Hornell, Hornell 14.2 miles away Comfort Inn Hornell, Hornell 15.5 miles away * Distances listed are direct linear distances, actual travel distance may be different.   Trailmap Bigger Trailmap Pictures of Swain ski area Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Swain ski area.   Ski Areas Near Swain ski area: Bristol Mountain, New York , 34 miles away    1200 foot drop, 6 lifts, 32 runs    20% Expert & Adv.    45% Intermediate    35% Beginner Ski Denton, Pennsylvania , 36 miles away    650 foot drop, 5 lifts, 22 runs    32% Expert & Adv.    33% Intermediate    35% Beginner Kissing Bridge, New York , 55 miles away    600 foot drop, 9 lifts, 37 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    20% Beginner Holiday Valley, New York , 57 miles away    750 foot drop, 12 lifts, 52 runs    38% Expert & Adv.    27% Intermediate    35% Beginner Holimont, New York , 59 miles away    700 foot drop, 8 lifts, 50 runs    50% Expert & Adv.    30% Intermediate    20% Beginner Ski Sawmill, Pennsylvania , 62 miles away    515 foot drop, 4 lifts, 13 runs    40% Expert & Adv.    25% Intermediate    35% Beginner Tussey Mountain, Pennsylvania , 87 miles away    500 foot drop, 5 lifts, 8 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    25% Beginner Cockaigne, New York , 91 miles away    430 foot drop, 4 lifts, 15 runs    15% Expert & Adv.    60% Intermediate    25% Beginner   Whitewater Near Swain ski area: Sugar Creek, Livingston County , 4 miles away, Class IV-V - 1.7 miles long (Headwaters to Canaseraga Creek) Canaseraga Creek, Steuben/Livingston/Alleghany County , 6 miles away, Class IV-V - 8 miles long (Canaseraga to Dansville) Keshegua Creek, Livingston County , 8 miles away, Class II+ - 7 miles long (Tuscarora to Sonyea)   Golf Courses Near Swain ski area: Triple Creek Golf Club, Nunda , 8 miles away Woodlynn Hills Golf Course, Nunda , 9 miles away Brae Burn Golf Course, Dansville , 12 miles away
