Snow Reporter Comments: OPENING FOR THE 2025 SEASON SOON!
We're just waiting for one more snowfall! Even after last Thursday's rain, there is still snow up in the basin. We are hoping for snow this Thursday to get us closer to opening. We will keep you updated as the next storm approaches. Get those snow dances going and we'll see you very soon. Can't wait!
