Mountain Report

Mountain Report | saturday, December 13

Bundle up! It's a cold one out there today but beautiful blue skies and frosty tree tips make for a chilly bluebird day. With the runs that opened yesterday and the grooming teams hard at work, come out and enjoy that perfect corduroy while it lasts. In addition, we added additional features to our Grom Park and Sky High, so come take some laps. 

We are now into daily operations running 9a-9p, seven days a week.

Our snowmaking teams are hard at work this morning and working on Legends, Panorama, Red Quartz, Gem Stone, and Upper Main Event so we can get the West open in time for the holidays. Standby for more updates and keep scrolling for current lift and trail status for today. 

Mountain Report | Friday, December 12

We’re kicking off the weekend and the start of our daily operating season with another strong terrain expansion across the center of the mountain. New runs opening today include Cottonwood, Meadow Ridge, Snowflake, Superstition, Caroline’s Couloir, Mamma Mie, and several surrounding connectors. This adds a big chunk of variety to the trail map and builds on the momentum from last weekend’s early-season progress.

Earlier this week we picked up 6 inches of natural snow, and combined with continued snowmaking, conditions across the hill are looking great for mid‑December. Grooming crews have been out early laying down fresh corduroy, and coverage is solid across all open terrain.

Today also marks the beginning of our full daily schedule, with lifts spinning 9am–9pm, seven days a week — meaning night skiing starts tonight. With fresh snow, more trails online, and extended hours, it’s a perfect time to get out and make some December turns.

We’ll continue pushing west making use of the cold weather throughout the weekend, with more terrain on the horizon for next week. Stay tuned for updates!

12/10 update: upcoming weekend & pre-holiday outlook

Closed 12/8–12/11 for snowmaking

Reopening 12/12 with daily operations + night skiing | 9AM–9PM
 

We’re set for another major terrain expansion heading into the weekend. Additional runs joining the lineup include Superstition, High Traverse, Woodspur, Carmie’s Couloir, Cottonwood, Meadow Ridge, Whitetail down to Wedge Woods, Snowflake, Mystery Grom Park, and the new Sky High → Aspen park connection. With these additions, all parks will be open with their full winter buildout — the earliest we’ve reached this milestone in many seasons.

Behind the scenes, the extended cold snap arriving Friday night is a huge opportunity for us — especially in areas where limited electrical infrastructure prevents us from running conventional fan guns. Trails like Panorama, Legends, Red Quartz, and Gem Stone rely on airless water sticks, which produce snow effectively only when temperatures drop to around or below 0°F. These perfect temperatures don’t come often, so our team will be working around the clock through the cold window to build depth where it’s hardest to make snow.

Snowmaking will also be shifting east of Dasher as we gear up for the next major wave of openings. Crews will be targeting White Lightning, Timberwolf, Sweet Return, Sunset, and the rest of that zone with a target of bringing the entire pod online by December 19. When temps cooperate, expect to see continuous overnight and daytime production as we build durability heading into the holiday stretch.

It’s shaping up to be a big weekend on the mountain with expanded terrain, fully built parks, and a major push underway toward the next lift‑served zone. We’ll continue posting daily updates as new trails come online.

We’re wrapping up the weekend with Comet, Blitzen, and the Blizzard Carpet open for laps. Thanks to the continued efforts of our snowmaking and grooming teams, we were able to add Upper and Lower Dusky, Birch, Miracle, Black Bear, and the fan favorite, Elk.

Snowmaking will continue throughout the upcoming week. We’ll share another update midweek with projected terrain for the weekend of 12/12 and heading into the holidays. We couldn't be more excited about the continued snowmaking temperatures, and we look forward to more terrain expansion for next weekend!
