DEER MOUNTAIN, S.D. For 50 years, the Deer Mountain Ski Resort in Lead was a popular local and tourist destination, and it’s getting a major face lift.
The destination is getting a new life after being shut down in 2017 – it will become home to a new tubing venue and residential area.
According to co-owner Gerard Keating, the area is perfect for those who love the great outdoors.
“We have two mountains, the east side or the west side. So if you love the sunrise, you can have that,” said Keating. “Or if you love the sunset, you can have both. That’s unique and special. We’ll have a 360-degree view; you can see North Dakota, Wyoming – up to 100-mile view – it’s special.”
