Today’s Download:
Good Sunday morning! Welcome to the best MLK weekend yet! We head in Sunday like it’s a Saturday with an extra night of skiing/riding. Lifts will be spinning from 9 AM – 9 PM. Take a ride up the Heather Lift and attend Sunday Service at 1:30 PM at Graham Chapel a tradition that has been part of The Highlands for many years. We are warming up the warmest lift in the Midwest, so take a seat on C6 and enjoy the day at The Highlands. There are lots of après activities happening all weekend, so make sure to check out our happenings. Thanks for enjoying winter with us.

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