Weather-Related Closure Notice

Friday, January 23rd & Saturday, January 24th, 2026

With an Extreme Cold Warning and a Winter Weather Advisory in effect, we’ve made the difficult decision to close all winter operations on Friday and Saturday, including Nordic, downhill, tubing, and Snowsports School programs.

Many of our employees work outdoors for extended periods, and the combination of extreme cold, strong winds, and blowing snow creates unsafe conditions. For our Nordic operations specifically, high winds increase the risk of falling limbs and debris, and grooming during these conditions would be inefficient and short-lived, making it difficult to keep trails open and usable.

This decision was not made lightly. Our staff takes great pride in providing a safe, quality experience, but the safety of our employees and guests must come first.

At this time, no decision has been made regarding Sunday operations. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates as soon as possible.

Guests with lessons or tubing sessions already booked will be contacted by a member of our team to discuss refund or rebooking options.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support—we truly appreciate it.
