It rained last night, so we are closing the trails today to let them properly drain before the weekend. The practice area and the blizzard trail will be open today, but not groomed. After allowing the rain to drain today, we will be open for skiing by Saturday morning. Luckily we have a lot of snow, and the small amount of rain will drain right through and leave us with good conditions heading into the weekend!
Today’s forecast: “Rainy early, cloudy all day. High 38F. SW Winds light and variable. Chance of rain in the evening 51%.”
Upcoming Events:
Saturday & Sunday, January 27th and 28th: Learn to Ski Lesson and Paella!

Prepared in a massive cast iron pan over an outdoor fire pit, this lunch comes from an authentic Spanish recipe from Paella master Ayo from Nerja, Spain, and is served piping hot with Saffron-spiced chicken, shrimp, mussels and peppers. Paella will be served at 12:00pm and 2:00pm.
