Scaly has three trail s, one double chair ski lift , and two ski tow s spread across just convert 12 acre m2 or 5 hectares. The vertical rise is just convert 223 ft m , from an elevation of convert 3802 ft m at the base to convert 4026 ft m at the top. Average annual snowfall is convert 38.2 in cm , but the entire usable area is covered by snowmaking . It is open from the day after Christmas December 26 on weekends only, while weather conditions permit, usually into February.
