Weather Report

Sunday, December 28, 4:10 PM update: 

Hi there skiers and riders, it was another amazing day on the mountain but tonight’s forecast is going to present challenges for Monday and we anticipate that lift delays will be likely. Tonight’s forecast is for freezing rain, becoming rain by the morning. We plan to open on time at 8:00 if possible, but we will have updates in the morning once crews are able to assess. If we have icing, the de-icing plan will be to start with Discovery Shuttle, then Heavy Metal, then Bluebird Express, then Sundance Express, then Canyon Express, and then North Face and Sunbrook. Please check back for updates throughout the morning!

Weather permitting, we plan to make turns on 43 trails, with 39 starting the day with fresh corduroy. Inferno will be closed for training from 8:00 to 2:30, Charlie's Chase from 8:30 to 12:30, and Roller Coaster from 8:30 to 3:30. Ski & Ride School and Training Center programs are scheduled to be running and open for business. At Carinthia, Prospector is scheduled to open with 10 fresh features, Nitro has 19 features, Lower Fool's Gold has 12 features, and The Gulch has 14 features, and Grommet has 6 features!

If weather allows, there are 16 lifts scheduled, first chair of the day at 8:00 and last chair at 4:00. Check the Lift & Terrain Status page for the most up-to-date status.

Monday's forecast is calling for rain and a high of 40 degrees at the summit with SW/WSW 25-40 mph winds, and 42 degrees at the base with S/WSW 14-20 winds. The ice and that SW wind are likely to affect lifts, and Tuesday’s forecast is calling for a windy day too so please check back for lift impact updates.

Snowmaking will be back in action to resurface across the mountain beginning  Monday afternoon.

Join us for New Year's Eve to catch a Grommet Jam, and the New Year's Eve celebration featuring live music on Cuzzins Deck from Annie in the Water, then a Torchlight Parade and Fireworks. Check the events calendar for details!

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 and Carinthia ticket windows open at 7:45, Sundance ticket window opens at 8:00. 

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