Good Morning from The Highlands Team!

Today’s Download:
Good Saturday Morning! It’s the last day of January and has been one of the best we can remember! Let the weekend begin, and what a weekend it will be. With all the new snow this week, conditions will be great. It looks to be a bluebird day with plenty of sun and temperatures in the upper teens. After this past week’s cold temperatures, the teens will feel a bit balmy. We have many activities planned for the weekend. See details below. Enjoy the weekend, we are glad you’re here!

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.

Roads and sidewalks are snow covered, 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 assist with any needs.
