We are delighted to welcome Sam Gravelle to Chester Bowl as our new Program Assistant! This new full-time role expands our year-round team from two people to three. Sam G will be supporting all programming at Chester, including being the site coordinator for summer camp at the Lower Chester site, and supporting the daily operations of the ski and snowboard hill.

Sam G worked with us this last winter as a lift operator, snowboard instructor, and terrain park coordinator. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth with a degree in Environmental and Outdoor Education, and has previous experience as an Adventure Guide and a Recreation Manager in Northern Minnesota and in California. Sam’s hobbies include mountain biking, snowboarding, and fly fishing.

We are most impressed by his positive attitude, ability to connect to our users of all ages, and his work ethic.

Welcome to the full time team, Sam! Next time you see him in the park, be sure to give him a welcome and a high-five.

We are delighted to announce the Chester Creek Concert Series lineup for 2022!

Concerts are weekly on Tuesday nights, and are always free! You can also expect a food truck on site. Restrooms are in the nearby Thom Storm Chalet.

Spend your summer Tuesday nights with us and an incredible lineup of musicians! Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs or blankets for seating.

Thank you to the Duluth Parks and Recreation Department for organizing the events, and to media sponsors Kat 98.9 and My95.7.

Chester Bowl’s last day for winter operations was Sunday, March 20th. Thank you for making it a wonderful season!

If you are a season pass holder, and not ready to be done yet, be sure to use your partner discounts!

If you rented equipment for the season from Chester Bowl, please sign up for a return slot on one of those nights, and return your gear then. Although we are closed for the season as of March 20th, we hope your gear still gets use at other hills and mountains until April!

You must preregister for your return time, which you can do here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4daaae2ca4fa7-20221

Please also follow the instructions to care for your gear before returning it!

We have pushed our closing day back by one week, so our closing day is now Sunday, March 20th. We are so excited that the colder weather and recent big snow have meant excellent conditions through the late season, and have allowed us to stay open for this extra week. See you on the hill!
