Deer Mountain is the only resort in South Dakota with a snow skate park.   Deer Mountain Ski Area will maintain a ‘snow skate only’ park in its base area.   The park is a series of boxes, rails, and tracks which riders slide across and balance on while executing tricks.   Snow skates are skateboard-like decks with a hard plastic base that slides directly on the snow.   The base has grooves, or channels, that help keep the snow skate going straight.

Admission to the park is just $5.00 and snow skate rental is also $5.00.
