About this resort

Paoli Peaks

Paoli Peaks ski resort in Indiana offers 15 trails (ranging from beginner to expert), 5 chairlifts, and two surface lifts. The best trails are considered to be the North Face and South Face, which offer intermediate to advanced terrain. A lesser-known fact about the resort is that it was originally built by Chuck and Jan Eliason in 1978 as a small ski hill for their six children to enjoy. For beginner skiers, the Learning Area is a great option with its gentle slopes and dedicated lift. As for apres ski, the resort's Alpine Cafe serves up food and drinks, but for a livelier atmosphere, the nearby French Lick Resort has multiple bars and restaurants to choose from.

Terrain mix: The Paoli Peaks ski resort in Indiana is located in the Paoli Hills, which is part of the larger Southern Indiana Uplands region. The resort features several ski runs and trails that make use of the natural terrain of the area, including gentle slopes and rolling hills. The highest point in the Paoli Hills is about 1,000 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest points in the state of Indiana. The resort also offers views of the surrounding Hoosier National Forest and the Ohio River Valley.

344 FXUS64 KBMX 070616 AFDBMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 116 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 115 AM CDT SUN JUN 7 2026 - Showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast starting this Saturday afternoon, persisting through next week. - High temperatures will climb back up this week with readings from the middle 80s to the lower 90s. && .DISCUSSION... (Sunday through next Saturday) Issued at 1040 PM CDT SAT JUN 6 2026 Nothing major has really changed regarding the overall thinking with the forecast for the next seven days. The first shortwave is expected to work through the region starting this morning, greatly increasing shower and thunderstorm chances through the evening hours. Another shortwave will work through the region on Monday, with additional shower and thunderstorms chances expected for most of the area. The main focus for higher rainfall amounts will be in our NW zones, with mainly scattered showers and thunderstorms elsewhere. By Tuesday, the closed low that will be the catalyst for all of these shortwaves will finally trek into the Midwest, transitioning into a deeper trough. From here, guidance is still split on the progression of this weak trough. Some guidance keeps the trough lingering just to our east, which would allow for more organized rain chances in our east zones into the weekend. Other guidance quickly builds an upper-level ridge over Texas, pushing the trough farther to the east. This would keep rain in the forecast, but limit it to diurnally driven, scattered afternoon activity. With that being said, both of these solutions involve upper-level ridging to our west, resulting in a steady climb in temperatures through the new workweek. By Friday, most locations across the region will have climbed into the low-90s, with low- 90s expected into the start of next weekend. /44/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 115 AM CDT SUN JUN 7 2026 With low-level moisture increasing, low ceilings are also spreading inland. There is high confidence for MVFR to IFR conditions to develop at all TAF sites over the next few hours. We will also see increasing rain chances supported by a passing shortwave trough which will maintain some form of reduced aviation criteria through much of the TAF period in addition to TSRA chances this afternoon. 86/Martin && .FIRE WEATHER... High pressure will begin to break down allowing for showers and thunderstorms to return to the forecast. Because of that, MinRH values will climb to above 50% by Sunday, and linger here or higher for most of the upcoming week. Given daily rain chances and high MinRH values, fire weather concerns remain little to none at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

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.

FAQ

About Paoli Peaks

Where does the snow data for Paoli Peaks 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 Paoli Peaks?

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 Paoli Peaks?

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.
