CONDITIONS UPDATE: December 30th 2025

Good Morning, from The Highlands Team!

100% POWDER DAY!! Well, the high winds have finally settled down, but it is still a little blustery outside, so bundle up and get out here! The warmest lift in the Midwest is warming up just for you. The conditions are going to be awesome with well over 9 to 11 inches of new snow. Our famous grooming team was tilling it all in last night, and things are going to be glorious! The lake effect machine will now kick in, giving us more chances of snow over the next few days as well. Allow extra time for driving and walking. Parking lots and walkways will likely be slippery. Have a great snow day!
