Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Good Friday Morning! Let the weekend begin, and what a weekend it will be, with all the new snow this past week and the prediction of temps in the 20’s, and bluebird sunny days, ahead it’s going to make for some great riding. It was a clear cold night and our grooming team has been out laying down some fresh corduroy for you to enjoy today. Layer and bundle up as it’s a cold morning. Tonight we have our Friday Night Zoo Bar music series from 6 PM – 9 PM featuring YANKEE STATION! Get ready to rock with this local classic rock band featuring four guys and a gal who are locked in tight and ready to make the party happen! This dynamic group brings a high-energy performance, delivering classic rock hits that are sure to get the crowd on their feet.

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.
