MOUNTAIN & LIFT STATUS

Conditions report for Sunday, April 27, 2025
Operating Hours: 9 AM to 4 PM

We’ve got one more sweet spring Sunday headed your way today before we hang it up for the year, and what a year it has been. We’d like to take a moment to thank all of you for coming to play with us this season. Without you we wouldn’t get to have the sweet jobs that serve you and keep us all in the mountains. Mother Nature has seen fit to bring us one more warm, sunny day to see the season off. We hope you enjoy it and we already can’t wait to see you all next fall.

Ski surfaces will likely start out firm today before softening up as the day warms up. Please do keep an eye out for marked and unmarked obstacles, however, as the snow is melting fast!

Looking to pick up a season pass for next year? Check out our Spring Season Pass Sale and you can not only get your pass at a deep discount you can use it for the rest of this season as well. Click here for all the details and to fill out the application. Offer good through April 30, 2025.

We may be hanging out in spring slush now but we always want to remind our guests that dry, deep, loose snow can lead to death by suffocation, especially if trapped upside-down. Please make sure you understand the danger of tree wells and other terrain traps and use extreme caution or avoid tree areas completely when the snow gets deep. If you are going to venture into the trees in deep snow make sure you have a solid riding partner, keep each other in sight, and have the knowledge you need to give yourselves your best chance if something happens. Snow immersion suffocation is a serious hazard. Learn the basics of how to keep yourself safer at deepsnowsafety.org.
