Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Happy Anniversary Weekend! Baby it is cold outside, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
Due to the cold temps, we’ve made some tough decisions to keep everyone safe. We will not be operating our North Peak Area today, and there will no night skiing tonight. We decided to move our vendors for our Anniversary Weekend Market inside to the Day Lodge where it is comfy and cozy. Skiing/Riding will be spectacular with all the new snow, so bundle up, keep your skin covered and take many breaks. Taking a warm ride to the top on the warmest lift in the Midwest C6 will make things feel just right! Lifts will be 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!
