This summer we are adding a bungee trampoline to our summer activities and will offer  tandem paragliding on a regular basis as weather permits.

Other activities at the King include the Alpine Slide, miniature golf, scenic lift rides to the summit, horse back rides, hiking, and mountain biking.

We have new photography services on the mountain this summer and will be offering family portraits on the mountain in addition to action shots on the alpine slide.

Come play on the King this summer!

We have gone through a long process to submit a grant to the Wyoming Business Council to fund new snowmaking lines on the mountain.  The WBC will hear our case and make a decision in May.  In order for us to succeed, we will need an overwhelming show of public support for the initiative.  By writing a short e-mail to the address below you can show your support and give us a shot at this grant.  If you want to see the King succeed in the long term, spend a few minutes of your time and write a short e-mail to the Wyoming Business Council of why you support the grant  —  send your e-mailt to  – thekinglives@wyoming.com
