Good Morning, from The Highlands Team!

OPENING UPDATE: 1:21 PM We are Re-Opening the Heather Express, Amy’s and Challenger Lifts at 1:45 PM they will be monitored for winds and they may run at a slower speed. C6 is still ON-HOLD and the North Peak is still closed for the day.

100% POWDER DAY!! Harbor Springs and most of Michigan are in the heart of a winter storm warning, and conditions are shaping up nicely. We’ve received 6 inches of fresh snow, with another 4 to 6 inches expected today. Expect wind-blown conditions throughout the day, and be sure to check our social channels for updates as conditions evolve. Lifts may run at reduced speed or need to close depending on wind speed and direction. Monday will bring rapidly changing conditions with extreme winds and near-zero visibility. Allow extra time for driving and walking. Parking lots and walkways will likely be slippery. Have a great snow day!
