UPDATE FOR Tuesday MARCH 19: Still warm and glorious. We are in spring like conditions with firm and fast first thing and softening as the day progresses. There’s a bunch of skiing to be had.
Trails will be open from 8:30AM-5PM. Please plan your ski to be OFF TRAIL BY 5PM for grooming operations. EARLY BIRD (7am access for passholders) is ON thru the next storm (but check back daily in case anything changes).
For Beginners – we have a ton of great trails open + our ski school is here ready to teach you how. Sign up for a midweek private lesson package (includes equipment and ticket) prior to arrival to guarantee availability.
For those who like to climb – Crabtree, Showdown, Drifter, Hawks Peak and Far Side are in.
For the morning’s EXPERT skiers – Upper Im OK, Euer OK is OPEN. Please make you own judgement call on the firmness of the conditions & your downhill ability before dropping in – as this trail is STEEP! Probably best to ski between 9am & 11am. For even more downhill thrills – Hastings Cut is also groomed down to Firewalker. Lower ok closed to downhill traffic as snow is too soft in the trees to get a good surface. Uphill travel on this trail is permitted (and you can ski back down if you loke what you see!)
For the Valley Skiers – There is a bunch of trails open now in the Euer Valley including the new Cowboy (girl) crossing & Showdown
