Season Pass Holders

  • You’re good to go direct-to-lift! No need to stop anywhere—just hit the slopes.

  • If you haven’t picked up your pass yet, swing by the ticket booth, and we’ll take care of you.

Day Ticket Purchasers

  • Tickets will be available for purchase on our eStore starting Thursday morning. Once purchased, tickets are loaded directly to your account.

  • You will need an RFID lift ticket card, available for purchase if you don’t already have one. We encourage you to find and reuse the card you used last season! If you purchase a new card, your previous card will be deactivated.

Lift Tickets & RV Reservations

  • Lift Tickets: Tickets for this weekend will be available for purchase on our eStore starting Thursday morning. Tickets for next Friday - Sunday will be available next week. Apologies for the delay—we hit some technical bumps!

  • RV Reservations: Reservations are available for Thursday–Saturday nights, with a mandatory Sunday checkout by 4 PM. Don’t worry, we’ll give a little grace if you’re squeezing in one last run!

Food & Beverage Services

  • Day Lodge and High Camp will offer food and drinks, including a limited menu. But rest assured, we’ve got the essentials: hot cocoa, fries, and tots!

Lessons

  • Private lessons are available for individuals or for your group of up to 4 people.

Stay Updated

All updates will appear on our Snow Report page.


IMPORTANT NOTE: the only authorized uphill and downhill route is HOLIDAY for those hiking while our crew works. Stay far clear of all equipment, as high-pressure water lines and electrical wire may be hidden just below the snow surface.  Please keep yourself and our staff safe! Thank you.
