Wolf Mountain is a small local ski area in the Ogden Valley near Eden, Utah. The area was known as Nordic Valley until June 2005.

Rarely visited by anyone outside the Ogden area, Wolf Mountain is known for its inexpensive tickets and as a good place to take children for their first introduction to skiing or snowboarding.

[edit] The Mountain

Wolf Mountain consists of a large beginner slope on the right and several steeper and longer runs on the left as you look at the mountain from below. A short double chairlift accesses the beginner slope and a second longer double chairlift with a midway unloading station provides access to the upper runs.

The entire mountain is lit for night skiing, and snowmaking covers most runs. Though its low elevation make for a shorter season than most ski areas in Utah, the snowmaking provides a stable base for at least a few months each year.

Wolf Mountain’s “Wolf’s Lair” Terrain Park has doubled in size, moving farther up the mountain and access will now be from the new Wolf's Lair Triple chair.

The Wolf Lair Triple also extended the beginner hill another 500+ feet, as well as, now allows easier access to the forested area to the north of the terrain part.

[edit] The Community

Despite the ski resort's name change, many locals continue to refer to the surrounding community as "Nordic Valley." See Nordic Valley, Utah.
