Val Balias Ski Center

Val Bialas Recreation Center, located on the Memorial Parkway in Utica, is one of only 2 municipally owned ski centers inside city limits in the lower 48 states.  Named after local 3 time Olympian ice skater Valentine Bialas this hill is a true asset to the Utica community. The ski center is located in Roscoe Conkling Park on Memorial Parkway.  We offer a chairlift, tow rope, night skiing, new ski chalet complete with snack bar and double sided fireplace.  We have 5 trails at different degrees of difficulty and separate sledding hill.  In addition to downhill skiing, the winter sports complex offers over 7 miles of groomed cross country trails.  There are varying degrees of difficulty to accommodate all levels of skiing ability.
