Opening Day, December 13th!

We are excited to announce that the opening day of the 2024/25 season will be Friday, December 13th. We will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9am-4pm each day. The Olympic Chair, Thunderhead Chair to the midway station, and the Magic Carpet are scheduled for operation. The Crystal Chair and additional terrain will open as conditions permit. 

Early season conditions exist. Be aware of your surroundings, proceed cautiously, and respect all rope lines and trail closures as they are there for your safety.

We will be closed Monday, December 16th, until Friday, December 20th. Lifts will spin starting Friday, and will run from 9am-4pm each day through to Monday, January 6th.

Snow is expected all day Sunday, with a continued chance of snow the latter half of the week. Current forecasts for Friday call for partly cloudy skies, 20% chance of snow, and a high near 26 degrees.

Season Passes and daily lift tickets are available to purchase online at estore.blacktailmountain.com. We encourage everyone to save money and time at the ticket office by creating an account, purchasing RFID cards and day lift tickets or passes in advance online.

See you on the mountain soon!
