Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Blog
Welcome to Sunday Funday! We want to thank all of you for visiting us during this holiday period, it was the best of the best! We now move into what we call our normal routine, as night skiing ended last night and will resume on Wednesday, January 7th. The slopes get a little less crowded so if you’re lucky to spend time with us this coming week, the mountain is all yours! Temperatures are going to be in the mid 20’s today, so riding will be very comfortable. We are in a winter weather advisory later tonight into tomorrow morning, so stay tuned. Monday may be a deep powder day! Drive safe whether you’re traveling home or coming out to ride today. Parking lots and walkways will likely be slippery, so walk cautiously and be patient.

RACE EVENTS
CCUSA RACING: South Challenger will be CLOSED today for racing.

SNOWMAKING-GROOMING UPDATE
