POWDER DAY!
Good Monday morning! Welcome to the best MLK weekend yet! Thank you for spending your extended weekend with us and choosing The Highlands. Our area got dumped on overnight with up to 6 inches of fluffy powder. Get out here quick! We are warming up the warmest lift in the Midwest, so take a seat on C6, and get your powder runs in. Lifts are spinning from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Thanks for enjoying winter with us.

Roads and sidewalks are snow covered, 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!

SNOWMAKING-GROOMING UPDATE
Thank a snowmaker! As of now, we are well covered, and there is no need to make snow, but thanks to them and our grooming team, working 24/7, conditions could not get much better.
