Weather Report

Thursday, January 1, 3:50 PM update: 

Happy New Year! What a great day out on the hill!  Groomers will be out tonight turning today's fresh snow into silky smooth corduroy for your skiing and riding delight.  For Friday, we plan to make turns on 43 trails, with 40 of those starting the day with a fresh groom. At Carinthia, Prospector has 10 features, Nitro has 19 features, Lower Fool's Gold has 12 features, The Gulch has 14 features, and the hike park on Grommet will have 6 features. 

We have 14 lifts scheduled, with first chair of the day at 9:00 and last chair at 4:00. Check the Lift & Terrain Status page for the most up-to-date status.

The Friday forecast is calling for partly sunny skies, temperatures around 10 degrees at the summit with WNW 2-35 mph winds, and 18 degrees at the base with WNW 14-20 mph winds. Breezy conditions could affect lifts, so please check back for lift impact updates.

Snowmaking is in action on Chute, Lower South Bowl, Lower Exhibition, Upper Fool’s Gold, The Farm, and Junkyard. 

The tubing park is scheduled to be open 11:00 to 5:00 Friday through Sunday, weather and conditions permitting. Get your tickets here!

Lifts are scheduled from 9:00 to 4:00 midweek, and 8:00 to 4:00 on weekends and these holiday dates: 12/26-12/31, 1/17-1/19, 2/14-2/22. As always, lift operations are weather dependent.

We have some chairlift updates for those of you who have been wondering about the Seasons and Ego Alley lifts. Ego Alley has been an iconic lift here for decades, but after observing how much quicker our other lifts get you all up the mountain accessing the same terrain (and then some!) it submitted a request to take the winter off, which we approved. This decision allows us to focus on delivering the best possible experience across our primary lifts, which are designed to keep you moving quickly and comfortably. While Ego Alley has historically served as a backup lift and operated only a handful of days each season (just nine last winter), we remain confident that our lift network is strong and fully capable of meeting demand. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to enhance your time on the mountain. You may have noticed the structure around the Seasons lift base terminal has taken some recent weathering. We asked a structural engineer to give it a thorough checkup, and they say it could use a little TLC. We’re already working hand-in-hand with the experts to find the best fix so Seasons stays as sturdy as your après ski plans. We’ll keep you posted as things progress.

Clocktower ticket windows are scheduled 8:45 AM to 4:15 PM, Carinthia ticket windows 8:45 to 1:00 PM, and Sundance ticket window 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. 

Expect early season conditions and please ski and ride with caution.
