Pre-Season Mountain Update

Winter at Blacktail is just around the corner! Our team is working hard behind the scenes to get ready for another amazing season on the mountain. Our plan has been to kick off the 2025/26 season on Friday, December 12th, but with this week’s warmer temperatures and rain, Mother Nature has asked us for just a little more patience.

We are now targeting Friday, December 19th as opening day — conditions permitting.

Operational prep, inside the lodge and outside on the slopes, continues daily as we wait for winter to fully settle in. As always, we are committed to opening as soon as possible, and we’ll keep you updated as we move closer to opening day.

Bring on the cold front, keep those snow dances going, and get those skis and boards waxed… it won’t be long before we’re all enjoying those first turns of the season! 

We’ll see you on the slopes!
