STILL CLOSED AS OF OCTOBER 2019 – Deer Mountain Ski Resort near Lead is home to the most powder accumulation in the Black Hills of South Dakota, averaging more than 200 inches of annual snowfall. A winter attraction for all, Deer Mountain offers downhill skiing and snowboarding (with equipment rentals) as well as a Zero Gravity Tube Park. We have the most diverse ski terrain the Black Hills has to offer. If you are looking for groomed trails, powder runs, glade runs and uncrowded, wide-open slopes, we have them.
