Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download
Sunday Funday and a bonus POWDER DAY and Bluebird Sky’s and THE SUN! The snow system from yesterday dropped 6-7" of new snow for you to enjoy today. Get out here quickly to get your powder runs in. It’s going to be a great day to ride!

Roads are snow covered and slippery, but our resort road commission staff are out plowing, sanding, and salting so please, give them room and take it slow and be safe. Have a great weekend friends!

RACE EVENTS
NORTH TOURNAMENT WILL BE CLOSED FOR RACE TRAINING today so please be cautious of the racers. Our ski patrol teams will have rope lines up for these events so please do not go under them, it is for everyone’s safety.

SNOWMAKING-GROOMING UPDATE
Thank A Snowmaker! We are well covered. Thanks to them and our grooming team, working 24/7, conditions continue to be great.

RESORT EVENTS
A tradition that has been happening here for well over 40 years continues today. Take the Heather Lift up, walk or ski back to Graham Chapel for 1:30 PM chapel service. You must have a lift ticket or season pass to load the Heather lift, and you must be on an approved riding device.

The Aonach Mor Moonlight Dinner is now on select winter nights. This is a fine dining experience atop North Peak, reached by sleigh ride and served by candlelight. Sign up on our website. It is an experience you don’t want to miss.

We also have Night Hikes to North Peak on select nights, which is always a favorite for the entire family.

We now have a Winter Bundle that lets you bundle lift, rental, and a lesson to customize your experience. We also have a SnowFlex ticket pack, purchase 2 – 5 days of lift tickets and use them whenever it works out for you, with no blackout dates – 100% flexibility. We want it to be easy.
