Happy Martin Luther King Day! Today’s weather on the mountain is sunny but bitterly cold, so proper preparation is key for enjoying your time outdoors. Temperatures will climb to a high of 9°F during the day and dip to a low of 3°F at night. Wind chill values will make it feel as cold as -11°F, with light winds from the north-northeast at 8 mph adding to the chill. Be sure to layer up with insulated clothing, gloves, and face protection to stay warm and comfortable on the slopes.

The mountain is in fantastic shape after consistent snowfall this season, with 119 inches of snow blanketing the trails. Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy various terrains, with 115 open runs and 13 lifts ready to carry you to your next adventure. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the sunny skies and fresh snow create an ideal day for exploring the mountain. Be sure to check trail conditions and lift schedules for the best experience.

As part of January Safety Month, it’s important to remember to ride RAD to ensure a safe and enjoyable day on the mountain:

R: Be READY to stop or maneuver quickly to avoid obstacles, hazards, or other skiers.

A: Stay ALERT to your surroundings, watching for changes in terrain or other skiers. Downhill riders always have the right of way.

D: Maintain a safe DISTANCE from others by leaving at least 15 feet of space on all sides to avoid collisions. Safety is everyone's responsibility, so let’s do our part to keep the slopes fun and safe!

Drive safe, stay warm, and we’ll see you soon!
