Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, November 10, 2026 — The owners of Snowstar, a ski resort located in Andalusia, Illinois, have announced they will be stepping down from their roles following the 2026-27 operational season. This transition will result in significant changes to the resort’s offerings for the immediate future.

For the upcoming winter season, Snowstar’s ski and snowboard hills will not be opening. This decision impacts the primary winter sports activities typically offered by the resort. The specific date of the “upcoming winter” was not provided.

However, the resort plans to continue operations for its tubing hill, which is slated to open for the 2026-27 season. This indicates a phased approach to the resort’s closure and transition period.

In response to the closure of the ski and snowboard hills for the upcoming winter, Snowstar will be issuing refunds for season passes purchased by patrons. Details regarding the refund process were not specified in the provided summary.

The owners’ departure is set for after the conclusion of the 2026-27 season, meaning the resort will operate in a limited capacity, focusing on the tubing hill, for at least two more seasons before the ownership transition is complete. Further information regarding the future of the resort beyond the 2026-27 season was not immediately available.
