Operations Update

- 3 min read
We will re-open Saturday, December 20th – Sunday, December 21st, marking a shift in operations as we open for the weekend and evaluate operations for December 22nd–24th.
While we previously shared plans to move into seven-day-a-week operations beginning December 19th, we’ll continue to assess conditions as incoming weather moves through the region.
We’re focused on getting more terrain open as conditions permit. A change in weather is expected toward the end of the week, with warmer temperatures early on, followed by colder temps and the potential for fresh snowfall heading into the holiday period. Our Mountain Operations and Snowmaking teams are ready to take full advantage, supplementing coverage and adjusting lift operations as conditions allow.
We’ll continue to evaluate conditions daily and expand operations as weather allows. More details on lift access and terrain will be shared as we get closer to this weekend.
Be ready, snow is on its way and Winter is making it's comeback!
