CONDITIONS UPDATE: January 7th 2026

Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Blog
100% OPEN!! Good Wednesday morning, today we have skiing/riding from 9 AM to 9 PM and we begin our weekly Slopes After Sundown specials see details below. Visibility is low right now throughout the slopes so ride with caution. Get out early for the best conditions as temperatures are supposed to rise to the upper 30’s today so expect softer conditions later today. 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.
