FANTASTIC!

Could conditions really be the BEST of the season?  Yes, they could.

  • 25 trails open and 2 parks
  • Great prices
  • 8 inches of really dry fluffy snow fell yesterday.
  • COLD temps overnight - Top of Highlands 10 degrees, bottom maybe 13 degrees
  • Everything but Outer Limits groomed out smooth corduroy
  • Outer Limits bumped up top to bottom with fresh snow on top
  • Clear blue skies, light wind and a warm March Sun
  • High today of 32 degrees.

YES, conditions are fantastic and likely the BEST of the season.

March is all about great snow and GREAT DEALS - $40 8 hour lift tickets, $30 4 hour lift tickets and a $59 (8hr) OR $49 (4hr) lift and rental package.  Discounted skiing and riding along with 25 trails open and tons of snow = incredible value and good times!
