WE ARE OPEN FOR THE SEASON!

We’re skiing and riding on 39 of 45 slopes – that’s 87% of our skiable terrain! Get first tracks on the Ridge and North Face – open today!

Hoot Owl, Kay Blue, Wally’s Way, Schelburg’s Chute and Teddy’s Turn will be closed for snowmaking. Basin Street will also be closed as we plan to start work on the halfpipe. Stay tuned to this report for the most up-to-date slope conditions.

The slopes are in great shape and we’ve had tremendous weather for making snow. Mother Nature has helped some herself. In the words of our Snowmaking/Grooming Manager, “I haven’t seen this much snow in my 17 years here.” And he ought to know. Come hit the slopes and see what we mean.
