Photos updated weekly. Come back to check out the change in colors as we get further into the fall season!
When you ride our chair, you’re free to get off at the top and walk around the Rib Mountain State Park before coming back down either by chair or by hiking.
Join us at the conclusion of your ride in the Historic Chalet or on our deck and for some burgers, brats, fall draft selections, yummy sweets for the kids and more!
The Comet Express Chairlift can hold up to six people on a chair and will be operating at a slower pace so guests of all ages and abilities are able to fully take in the views.
This lift is located outside our main base area and has safe loading and unloading ramps. Our Lift Operators have the ability to slow down or stop the lift should you need assistance embarking or unloading at either terminal.
