Ski Resorts //
Located just a few minutes from Deadwood, South Dakota, Mystic Miner Ski Resort at Deer Mountain (formerly, Deer Mountain Ski Area) is a full-service ski resort, offering courses for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and tubing.
The mountain has a vertical drop of more than 850 feet. Mystic Miner also has one of the best beginner hills in the Black Hills. The gentle slope and wide open terrain, helps beginners discover the joy of skating on snow without being intimidated by extreme pitches or an obstacle of trees. The area moves many skiers each hour through the use of a triple chair lift and two Poma lifts. If you are familiar with the snow skate, Mystic Miner has the only snow-skate part in the Black Hills area and South Dakota. There are a total of forty-four trails. For your comfort and convenience there is also a two story base lodge that contains a cafeteria and lounge.
Rental equipment is available as well as ski lessons for skiers of all capabilities. Snowboard lessons are also available. If you prefer to cross country ski, you can enjoy approximately ten miles of groomed cross-country trails. These trails offer all levels of cross-country skiing, from beginner to experienced.
