We are excited to announce that the opening day of the 2022/23 season will be Saturday, December 10th. This marks our earliest opening date in 10 years! The plan is to be open Saturday and Sunday from 9 am-4 pm each day. The Olympic Chair, Thunderhead Chair, and Mighty Might Handle Tow are scheduled for operation. The Crystal Chair and additional terrain will open as conditions permit.
We will then be closed Monday the 12th until Friday, December 16th, and will reopen from 9 am-4 pm through Sunday, December 18th. Daily operations will run from December 21st through January 2nd.
Current forecasts for Saturday call for partly cloudy skies, a 20% chance of snow, a high near 14 degrees, and south to southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
