TODAY’S BLOG
Good Sunday morning! SPRING FORWARD! Did you remember to move your clocks ahead one hour? It looks like we got a skiff of new snow last night, but not enough to measure, it’s just enough to tell us that winter isn’t over yet! The temperature’s dropped to just above freezing last night, so the snow surface this morning should have set up just enough to make for some nice carving this morning. Our world class grooming team has been out all night tilling in the snow, and flattening it out after yesterday’s disturbing rainy event, but don’t fret , we still have tons of snow, and we’re not going anywhere, so get up, grab some breakfast, wax those boards and head out to the hill! The clouds are going to gradually leave today, and the sun is supposed to make an appearance. It’s going to be a high of 46° with strong southwest winds gusting to around 30mph hour later today! We will also have Graham Chapel Sunday service, today, at 1:30 PM so take a ride up the Heather lift, and either walk back or glide back for Sunday service. 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.
