TODAY’S BLOG
Good morning, let your weekend riding begin! It’s going to be a great day to be on the slopes. Typical Michigan weather, we went from 46° yesterday to maybe, not even getting to 20° today! The winds will be present, so it’ll be a perfect time to take a ride on the warmest lift in the Midwest C6! Our world-class grooming team has been out all night, tilling in all the new snow we received this past week, and with it setting up overnight, the riding will be spectacular today! So get up, bundle up, and get out here, as the riding will be spectacular today! Parking lots, roads and sidewalks will be slippery after the thaw yesterday and the hard freeze overnight, so drive and walk safely. We hope you enjoy your day at The Highlands! We are glad you’re here.

SNOWMAKING | GROOMING UPDATE
Thank a snowmaker! As of now, we are well covered, and there is no need to make snow. Thanks to them and our 24/7 grooming team, conditions could not get much better.

LIFT TICKETS, RENTAL, & SKI SCHOOL
Before heading to the hill, you should buy your lift tickets online 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.
