Snow Reporter Comments: 8 am update:  It's a breezy morning as we anxiously wait for a storm to blow in today.  The weather phrase "snow could be heavy at times" is music to our ears. The weather conditions have given us quite a wild ride so far this winter, but change is in the air. Temps have been good for us to crank up the snow machines and we are working hard to get more terrain open as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy our ole faithful Midway and the Musical Carpet for some beginner laps. The grooming crew continues it's amazing work keeping Midway in good shape and the park crew has kept the mini park rolling.  Today, we plan to reopen the Musical Carpet providing beginner terrain for folks to work on their skills. We are eager to open more terrain and lifts just as soon as we can! Reminder:  With the weekend upon us, extremely limited terrain and early season conditions - please take it easy out there, watch out for each other, have patience and enjoy!Deals & EventsCambium Spa - Book a massage or facial for any day December 18th-22nd and receive 20% off.
