Tupper Lake, NY - The Wild Center and Big Tupper Ski Area are partnering to show what Tupper Lake has to offer.

From Friday, January 29th until Sunday, March 7th people who purchase either a ticket to The Wild Center or a day pass to ski at Big Tupper will get a pass to the other venue for free. Both the ski mountain and the Center have adult tickets priced at $15, and the free ticket can be redeemed for up to two weeks from when they are issued. You can buy a museum ticket one day, and hold off on the skiing until the next dump of snow or vice versa. Tickets are non-transferable.
Big Tupper was long a favorite among family skiers, and the mountain reopened this season with support from the community. The Wild Center opened in 2006. It's filled with live exhibits on the nature of the Adirondacks and has received rave reviews from The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today.
Both the mountain and the Center are open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays all winter. The Wild Center offers Winter Wildays both Saturdays and Sundays, with a full slate of indoor and outdoor activities and presentations. The museum website hosts an outdoor webcam that shows local snow conditions.
"The old and the new are coming together to make Tupper Lake the place to be this winter," said Stephanie Ratcliffe, executive director of The Wild Center. "Adults who skied Big Tupper as teenagers are returning to teach their kids how to ski. They can have that cool, old-style experience at Big Tupper, and then drive 10 minutes to this cool, new-type of museum, The Wild Center. With prices like this, people can say good-bye to staycations."
"Big Tupper holds such fond memories for people. When many smaller ski areas have closed down, it's heartening to see how the residents of Tupper Lake pulled together to open Big Tupper again," said Jim LaValley of Ski Big Tupper. "For people who want the more intimate, family feeling of skiing, Big Tupper is the place to be. The Wild Center is an amazing place for young and old alike. With their calendar of Winter Wildays, there's even more to do in Tupper Lake this winter."
It's the top twofer in the Adirondacks, from your neighbors making Tupper Lake a fun place to play. Ski and See today...
