TODAY’S BLOG (Monday March 17th)
Good Tuesday Shamrock Morning! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! We just want to thank all our team members, for their hard work yesterday! It takes a team to race. Today looks to be blustery, with highs in the teens, a good time to hop on warm C6. We have more snow than we have ever seen in a long time. Currently, we are at 182" of snow for the season! Our goal is to have lifts ready for you to enjoy at their normal start times. Just a reminder, there could be delays. Stay here to stay tuned. So get up, grab those powder skis and get out here. Roads and sidewalks are still extremely snow-covered and slippery. Proceed with caution and drive safely on your way here.

Enjoy your day, we are glad you’re here at The Highlands!
