Today’s Download
Good Monday morning! As we begin the new week, conditions don’t get much better. The new snow we got on Saturday evening has been tilled in by our hard-working grooming team, but insiders say there are still many acres of untouched powder out there. So get the kids off to school and get out here. Enjoy the day at The Highlands.

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 week friends!
