==Trails==
There are 14 ski trails in total at Tussey Mountain. Little Bear is the beginner slope and is served by its own double chair lift. A larger quad chair lift services Deer Run, Grizzly, Utah, Lower Tuscarora, Doc White, Upper Tuscarora, Upper Shamokin, Lower Shamokin, Winter’s Way, Tower 3 Chute, Chicken Ridge, Grizzly Glades, and Lion’s Way. Winter's Way trail is typically used to set up the TMP Terrain Park. Chicken Ridge and Tower 3 Chute are short offshoots of other trails. Lion's Way, along with Upper Shamokin, Lower Shamokin, and the Grizzly Glades, are open only when enough natural snowfall exists - all other trails have [[snowmaking]] capabilities. The trails with snowmaking also have lights, allowing for night skiing. A T-bar lift also services the mountain on occasion.
There is also a [[snow tubing]] area with up to 5 tubing lanes and one lift.
