CONDITIONS UPDATE: January 6th 2026

Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Blog
100% OPEN!! Good Tuesday morning! After yesterday’s powder day things have calmed down with Mother Nature. Our grooming team has been out all night tilling in the new snow making for a great day to get on the slopes. Temperatures are supposed to climb to a high of 35 today so expect softer conditions. Roads are snow covered and slippery so drive slow and be safe. Parking lots and walkways will likely be slippery, so walk cautiously and be patient.

SNOWMAKING-GROOMING UPDATE
