Are you in the business of branding? Chester Bowl has issued a request for proposals to work with us on branding services.

Proposals are due by February 28.

Chester Bowl’s FREE Winter Carnival is Saturday, February 21, from 1-4pm.

The afternoon is filled with fun and games such as a hayride, mini-snowmobile rides, a boot toss, a ring toss, hammerschlagen, a puck drop from the chairlift, tug-of-war, a high-ollie contest, face painting, and more. And, of course, we will have s’mores and PRIZES!

There is no cost for participating in the carnival games and activities. A season or day pass is required to ski and snowboard.

Looking to volunteer? You can sign up at this link!

The Winter Carnival is a FREE event because of the generous sponsorship of Blue Cross Blue Shield. Chester Bowl parent John Derbis is thrilled to team up with Chester Bowl for the Winter Carnival- it’s all about kids, families, and friends enjoying winter fun together in the snow.

Chester Bowl’s Opening Day is Sunday, December 14! The lift will be spinning from 11 am until 4:30 pm. We hope to see you on the hill!

Thanks to our incredible volunteers and staff, plus favorable temperatures, snowmaking started on November 26 and has run straight though since then! The forecast continues to look favorable through mid-December. We are currently on track for our scheduled opening day of Saturday, December 13. We will NOT be opening earlier than 12/13. Watch for updates as we get closer to December 13 to confirm an opening day, and think cold and snow until then!

As we build towards the Thom Storm Chalet expansion and renovation project, which is currently on track for 2026 construction, we are excited to share the most recent floor plans! To see the plans and a narrative, please click this link!
