Conditions

Good morning skiers and riders! Boy, Mother Nature has sure thrown us some curveballs over the past months this year. While we did suffer significant natural snow loss with the heavy rain on Monday, our manmade surfaces held up really well. With a little help from our incredible grooming team, we will be open for day & night skiing from 9am – 9pm!

Today, we’re expecting mostly sunny skies, a high near 34, and northwest wind 8 to 10 mph. While we did get a little snow yesterday, our snowmakers are hard at work off the Sheehan Chair, making up for any loss from the rain to keep us on the snow. Today we’ll be riding machine groomed and packed powder surfaces with 5 lift serviced trails to start the day including the new discovery trail off the magic carpet Discovery Zone learning area. Kelton is expected to open later in the day, which will bring us back up to 6 trails open.

Uphill skinning is not advised at this time due to the loss of natural snow on our routes.

CAFE: Open daily at 8:30am, our cafe serves up a fantastic array of housemade foods including breakfast, homemade soups, smash burgers from local Cornwall Cattle Co., Black Bean burgers from VT Bean Crafters, handcut fries, and local beers to top it all off!

SOUP: Coming later this morning

SPECIALS: Coming later this morning

See ya on the slopes!

Good morning skiers and riders! The new Discovery Trail is the highlight of our learning area in the Discovery Zone; with a nice gentle slope curving you right back around to the magic carpet, this is the perfect progression to the slightly steeper Discovery Zone area to prepare anyone to tackle all the mountain has to offer.
