The Terry Peak Ski Area is a skiing and snowboarding destination on the highest peak of the Northern Black Hills and is also open to snowmobilers. The area was first used as a ski hill in 1936, and the first chair lifts were added in 1954. Now, the mountain has three high-speed chair lifts and one traditional lift.

The ski hill has 30 runs, offers ski and snowboard rentals, and has skiing lessons for every age group, adults included. Stewart Lodge offers a café and bar, and the Nevada Gulch Lodge is famous for its Dark Horse Saloon, which serves alcoholic beverages and delicious meals in a nostalgic setting warmed by open fireplaces.
