Summit Mountain

Updated Friday, Jan 24. The Black Lift and several runs WILL OPEN TONIGHT at Summit Mtn. Although we have entered into another forecast where daily temps are in the low-to-mid-30s.

If you’re aware of micro-climate science, you probably understand why snow making conditions for Summit and Schuss can be radically different despite being within a few miles of each other. That’s because until Lake Bellaire freezes, the humidity coming off the lake can alter wet bulb measurements causing snowmaking to be much more difficult and challenging (than at Schuss). Humidity can also increase air temps by 2-4 degrees.
