TODAY’S BLOG (Wednesday March 18th)

Good Wednesday Morning! We finally had a quiet night in the weather front giving our team more time to, groom things out, get our parks ready to reopen, and just all in all take a slight break. We just want to thank all our team members, for their hard work the last few days. Today looks to a fairly quiet day, with a few flurries later, and south winds gusting to 25mph later today. We have more snow than we have ever seen in a long time. Currently, we are at 184"of snow for the season! Just a quick reminder, today, is our last extended period of lift hours. We will have the Heather Lift and Renata’s Express running until 7 PM. Everything after today is 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM until our last day which is Sunday, March 22nd. 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!
