Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Good Wednesday morning! Conditions remain prime, so get up out of that chair and boot up. Temperatures are going to be near 18 today, and the winds have also calmed down. We are nearing 100 inches of snow totals. It is a winter wonderland.
Tonight is another week of Slopes After Sundown. See the specials below! Take a warm ride to the top of the warmest lift in the Midwest C6. Lifts are spinning from 9:00 AM to 9:00 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!
