First Snow of the Season & Snowmaking Begins!

Winter has made her first appearance on the mountain! Snowflakes started falling early Thursday and continued through Friday morning. We picked up a few inches across the mountain with more accumulation at higher elevations. It’s just the beginning, but it sure is nice seeing the mountain wearing some white again!

Our snowmaking team gave Mother Nature a helping hand last night too! They fired up the guns for the first time this season, beginning to build a base on Showcase, Sleeping Bear, and Tahawus. As temps rise mid-day, they will cut the guns and resume tonight when temps drop below that ideal threshold. The goal is to make the most out of this cold window! Looking further ahead, another warm-up is in the forecast, and there’s still plenty of work to be done before we’re ready to welcome skiers and riders back for the season. For now, we’re at the mercy of the weather, but our crew knows how to roll with the punches. We’ll keep you posted as things develop!

In the meantime, make sure you’re ready when the lifts start spinning! Grab your Season Pass before peak-pricing kicks in after December 2. Looking for another way to ski more for less? Frequent Skier Cards are available through December 10, while supplies last. Dust off your gear, get those skis tuned up, and we’ll see you soon!
