Thanks to our snowmaking and mountain ops crew, we’re tracking right on schedule for Opening Day this Friday, Nov. 28th! We will be open Friday, Nov.28th - Sunday, Nov.30th. We will be closed midweek and re-open on Saturday, Dec.6th!
Cub Chair (Runs Open: Cub Meadow) and Mokelumne Express (Runs Open: Mokelumne West, Mokelumne) are set to spin! *Please note early conditions do exist, please abide by all closures and safety signage.
Cold temps are on the horizon, and our snowmaking team will jump right back in as soon as they hit. We now have 20 snowguns on the backside to help bring that terrain online sooner once the weather lines up.
Thanksgiving weekend is looking beautiful, roads are open, and it’s a great time to come up, pick up your pass, enjoy a drink at Maury’s Mustang Bar, get on the hill and welcome Winter back to the mountain!
We’ve also got a full weekend of events happening, click the button below for details!
*Stay tuned for an announcement later this week on day ticket availability for this weekend.
