Good Thursday morning! Bundle up because Baby It’s Cold Outside! Today will be very chilly, with a high near 18, but the SUN will be shining! Our snowmaking team is out refreshing some of the front-facing slopes, and the slopes are calling your name. All trails are open, conditions will be great, and C6 is warm and ready. Tonight is the second week of our mid-week Slopes After Sundown event. See the specials below. Enjoy the day at The Highlands. Thanks for enjoying winter with us.

Roads and sidewalks can be slippery at times, but our resort road commission staff are out sanding and salting, so please, take it slow and be safe. Have a great week friends!
