CONDITIONS UPDATE: January 28, 2026

Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Good morning! We are half way through the week, and 4 days away from Groundhog Day! and conditions couldn’t be any better. With the new snow yesterday, and our grooming team tilling it all in last night, today looks to be a banner of a day. We have Slopes After Sundown tonight, to kick off night skiing again. Temperatures will be in the teens again, so bundle up, take some breaks to warm up, and most of all have fun out there. Lift lines will be low so it’s going to be a great day to ride.

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 – 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!

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.

LIFT TICKETS, RENTAL, & SKI SCHOOL
Before heading to the hill, you should buy your lift tickets online in advance for the lowest rates. Rentals and lessons should be reserved 24 – 48 hours in advance. We now have a Winter Bundle that lets you bundle lift, rental, and a lesson to customize your experience. We also have a SnowFlex ticket pack, purchase 2 – 5 days of lift tickets and use them whenever it works out for you, with no blackout dates – 100% flexibility. We want it to be easy. Our Resort Services team is available in the Day Lodge to help with anything you may need.
