HAPPY & MERRY! December 25th:UPDATED 930 CLOSED TODAY

Good morning, due to unsafe conditions on the road, Blacktail will be closed today. We received rain on top of snow last night and the road is extremely icy. The safety of our staff and guests is always our first consideration. Refunds will be issued for any advanced purchases made for today and we will be back tomorrow for seven days a week through January 4th.

It’s the morning of Christmas and on Blacktails slopes, not a creature is stirring at least not for while.

Lifts will spin later today, our crew will be here to greet you with a smile.

Groomers are laying down tracks with great care, knowing snow riders soon will be there. 

They told me there’s no new snow this morn though NOA is calling for a Christmas night storm

Winds are at 10-15 blowing through the trees, the temperatures sitting now at 31 degrees.

Lifts will spin today from 11 until 4 so our crew and your families can snuggle in a bit more.

This Christmas morning, we wish you good cheer and hope to see you on the slopes at Blacktail plenty this year!

We will be skiing on the top half of the mountain today, Thunderhead skiers and riders will load at the midway station. Crystal Country and additional terrain will open as soon as conditions permit. Early season conditions exist, please obey all ropelines and closures they are in place for your safety. 

Blacktail will open a little later this Christmas with lifts spinning from 11AM – 4 PM.We are now open seven-days-a-week through Sunday, January 4th for the holiday. 

I’ll see you on the slopes!
