Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Good Thursday morning! With the perfect winds here in the Pleasantview Valley the last 24-32 hours, we have really piled up the light fluffy powder! This will be one of those perfect days to ride. Winds will be brisk as we head into some of the coldest air of the season, the next few days, so bundle up and head out. With over 100 inches of snow! it is a winter wonderland. Tonight is another week night 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!
