Information
OPENING FOR THE 2025 SEASON SOON! We received 16 cm of snow with Thursday's storm! Things are looking great, but we still need more snow to fill in the tow lines and open. The tow lines are not rideable in the current conditions. It looks like another storm will move in next weekend (12 July). We'll keep you updated as conditions continue to improve.
