Information
We are OPEN on Sunday! Temperatures are warm, making for some soft snow. We received 8 mm of rain at the lodges which means there could be about 4 cm of new snow at ridgetop. Ski conditions will be a mix of a spring-like conditions at lower elevations and more wintry conditions up high. Winds this afternoon may affect operation of the Main Tow. Please note, the Access Tow is open for experienced tow riders only. No exceptions! For beginners, it's about a 20 minute walk from the ticket office to Palmer Lodge to start your day. Tram hours are 8:30 am to 10:30 am and 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm
