Sadly, it’s outside the U.S.
It has recently come to my care that a McSki — which is exactly what it sounds like , or a McDonald ’s on the slopes — not only exists as a real position to get your favourite shoestring minor , but it alsouniquelyexists .
That ’s correct , there is only one McSki in the world , and it is locate outside of the US . You have to travel all the way to SkiStar repair in Lindvallen , Swedento indulge in McDonald ’s ski - friendly location , which is reportedly only subject in the winter , during ski season ( duh ) .
But itslong - haul - flightdistance can be a good affair . If you ’re like me , you could plan aweeklong ski - triparound it , and it will in all likelihood end up costing you less than a vacation on the slopes of the same length in , say , Park City , Utah . ( For reference , aone - day skipassin Lindvallen can be you as low as roughly $ 42 in December , depending on the Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , versus $ 123 for Park Cityvia Epic Pass ) .

Or if you ’re likethis particular TikToker — who is arguably closer to Sweden than I am — you could make your dad drive for six hours to get you there .
Its coolest feature is that you’re able to , in fact , ski - thru like you would drive - thru . Except , instead of picking up your order at the window by rolling up in your railcar , you ’d be glide in with your skis or snowboard . How , you require ? precisely like this :
The McSki has reportedly been operating for age ( some sayit ’s been open since 1996 ) , and it offers the same computer menu you would line up at any other McDonalds in Sweden , with all the same seasonal or yearly updates ( including your beloved McCafé hot chocolate with whisk cream ) .
With McDonald ’s being such a huge American staple , it would only make sense that a McSki existed in an all - American ski recourse paradise like Park City , Utah ; Aspen , Colorado ; or even Lake Tahoe , California . But is that even in the plans ? Thrillist accomplish out to McDonald ’s for answers and hopefully , they are positive ones .
One affair is for sure . If a McSki does open in the US , their ice emollient machine better be working — I’m not passing up the chance to have a McFlurry on the slopes .
