Weather and Ski Conditions

Thursday, January 22, 4:25 PM update:

Hi there skiers and riders, for Friday we plan to make turns on 70 trails, with 47 of those getting love from the groomers overnight. Inferno will be closed from 9 AM to 4 PM for training, and The Gulch will be closed from 9 AM to 4 PM, with a lane to ski around. Friday's forecast is calling for high winds so please check the Lift & Terrain Status for any wind holds before heading out. 

At Carinthia, The Gulch will be closed for an event, but you'll find 4 features in The Junkyard, 32 in Upper Fool's Gold, 6 in The Farm, 10 in Prospector, 19 in Nitro, 12 in Lower Fool's Gold, and 6 in the hike park on Grommet!

There are 12 lifts scheduled with first chair of the day at 9:00 and last chair at 4:00. 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. Lift operations are weather dependent. Check the Lift & Terrain Status page for the most up-to-date status.

Friday's forecast is calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 14 degrees at the summit and W 30-45 mph winds, and 23 degrees at the base with WSW/W 15-30 mph winds. These winds may affect lifts, so please check back for updates.

Keeping an eye on the weather for this weekend, the forecast is calling for Extreme Cold. We expect to have lifts operating with a reduced footprint to decrease exposure risk. For Saturday 1/24, we plan to have Discovery Shuttle, Canyon Express, Bluebird Express, Sundance Express, and Nitro Express, scheduled for 8:00 and Heavy Metal, Seasons, and Bear Trap scheduled for 9:00. The North Face will remain closed all of Saturday. For Sunday 1/25, we plan to resume normal operations. These plans are subject to change as the weather changes, so please check back here and the Lift & Terrain Status page for updates! If you're planning to visit this weekend, you will need to dress mindfully with appropriate layers and no exposed skin. We're also expecting snow to roll in Sunday into Monday, so that's something to look forward to! Please check back for updates, we'll share any additional information as we have it!

Tubing is scheduled Friday through Sunday from 11:00 to 5:00. Get your tickets here!

Ego Alley chairlift update: 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. 

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. 

Please always ski and ride with caution and adhere to the responsibility code. 

Uphill travel is open on the designated route, please call the uphill hotline 802-339-8474 and check the uphill kiosk between parking Lot C and Launch Pad for the most up-to-date info.

These are the holiday dates: 12/26-12/31, 1/19, 2/16-2/20. A Lot and Upper Carinthia are paid lots daily.
