Boyce Park
Boyce Park Ski Resort is a small ski area located in Pennsylvania, offering six slopes ranging from beginner to intermediate levels. The best trails for intermediate skiers are the Olympic and Giant Slalom, with challenging terrains and long runs. Boyce Park was the first ski resort in the United States to offer night skiing, and it was also the first to use artificial snowmaking machines. For beginner skiers, the bunny slope is the perfect place to start. The resort's lodge is cozy and offers a good selection of food and drinks, but there are no bars on site. For après-ski fun, head to the nearby city of Pittsburgh for a lively nightlife scene.
Terrain mix: Boyce Park Ski Resort is located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and is part of the larger Boyce Park recreational area. The ski resort itself is relatively small, with a single chairlift and a few beginner and intermediate slopes.
There are no significant mountain ranges surrounding Boyce Park Ski Resort, as it is located in a relatively flat area of western Pennsylvania. The resort's elevation is quite modest, with a base elevation of around 1,200 feet and a summit elevation of around 1,340 feet.
Despite its relatively low elevation and lack of significant mountain ranges, Boyce Park Ski Resort still offers a fun and accessible skiing experience for beginners and families. The resort typically relies on artificial snowmaking to supplement natural snowfall during the winter season.

Mountain & avalanche safety
- Know before you go
- Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
- Carry the gear, know how to use it
- Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
- Mind the weather window
- Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
- Respect closed terrain
- Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

About Boyce Park
Where does the snow data for Boyce Park come from?
Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the snow report updated?
Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.
What's the elevation at Boyce Park?
See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.
How is "% of normal" calculated?
Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.
What ski resorts are near Boyce Park?
See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.
Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?
Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
