HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
GET READY FOR MOUNTAINS OF FUN !

Meet you at the top! We are opening the summit so get ready to have an amazing time this weekend!

No matter your level of expertise, we have terrain for everyone. Expert skiers can have a blast checking out the snowmaker's whales on Chatiemac or experiencing the thrills on Uncas & Topridge. If you're looking for a leisurely ride, we have plenty of blue cruisers, and Twister is the perfect trail for a long and winding journey. For first-timers, the easier zones on the mountain are in excellent shape and ready for you to give a snow sport a try or get back into the sport. With 188 acres of awesome trails to shred, there's something for everyone!

Our Holiday week is kicking off on Monday, 12/25, and going until Monday, 1/1.

These dates might sell out, so don't wait - book your E-tickets now to lock in your spot.

The holiday week promises to be a lot of fun, so join in the festivities and make some unforgettable memories on the mountain.

HOLIDAY LIKE AN EXPERT

Are you ready for a fantastic holiday adventure on the slopes? We've got some friendly and informative tips to help you make the most of your visit. Let's dive in!

1. Get Here Early: Early birds get the worm, and in this case, better parking and corduroy! Our lifts start spinning at 8:30 am, so arrive early to secure a more convenient parking spot and enjoy the slopes while others sleep in.

2. Park Consciously: During the holidays, we see a surge in visitors, so consider carpooling with friends to ease the parking situation. Follow the directions given by our parking lot attendants, and please avoid parking in tow-away zones or creating a triple-parked situation – it could lead to a tow or a fine. Paid parking is available but operates on a first-come, first-serve basis.

3. Buy in Advance: Holiday tickets tend to sell out quickly, and the same goes for rental equipment and lessons. Save yourself some time and money by purchasing these in advance. It not only secures your spot but also ensures a smoother start to your day. UPDATE TO 6 & UNDER TICKETS: Please visit any ticket window to purchase the Child 6 & Under discounted lift ticket. The 6 & under child must be present to purchase. 

4. Dine During Non-Peak Hours: Feeling hungry after hitting the slopes? The Tannery, Food Court, Saddle Lodge, Open Pit Grille, and Waffle Cabin are all fantastic dining options. Avoid the lunchtime rush (12-1 pm) by grabbing a bite during non-peak hours. Our Food Court also offers convenient grab-and-go options like sandwiches and salads for those on the move.

5. Get Ready at Your Vehicle: Simplify your pre-ski routine by getting mostly ready at home or your lodging. Then, add the finishing touches at your car. Consider bringing a lawn chair for added comfort while putting on and taking off your boots. And why not turn it into a mini tailgate party?

6. Take the Shuttle: Our friendly shuttle drivers are here to help you get up to the mountain faster. They pick up passengers and will drop you off . Just hop on and enjoy the ride!

7. Establish a Meeting Point: Before hitting the slopes, choose a designated meeting point with your children. Make sure it's a spot that's easy to find and remember, such as a particular chairlift or a recognizable landmark. This way, if you get separated, you can regroup quickly.

We hope these tips help you have an amazing holiday experience on the slopes!
