Early & Late Season
During our shoulder seasons—from November through mid-to-late December and again from late March to mid-to-late April—conditions can vary considerably. Early in these periods, snow coverage may be sparse, which could limit the number of lifts in operation. As the season progresses into the later months, icy or slushy conditions might set in. Rest assured, where conditions permit, we aim to keep all available lifts running through late April.
Mid-Season
Peak winter means deep snow, busy days, and canyon traffic. Big storms can bring legendary powder—but also delays. Be prepared for traction laws in the canyon and possible lift holds while patrol works to open terrain safely. Stay tuned to the conditions page for real-time updates on trails and lift status.
Night Riding
Ride under the lights from mid-December through early April with lifts running until 9 pm. Crest 6, Snake, Milly, Majestic and Explorer Monday-Saturday. Storms and cold temps can cause lift closures, so always check the conditions page. Night riding wraps up for the 2024/25 season on April 5, but if the snow holds, but look out for a bonus weekend on the 11th and 12th—conditions permitting.
Meltdown
Meltdown season kicks off in early May and lasts as long as conditions allow. Expect soft, slushy turns and sunscreen-worthy days. This year, the Meltdown starts on May 2 and is expected to run through May 18—conditions permitting. Crest 6 will operate daily, with both Crest 6 and Majestic running on Saturdays and Sundays. Hours TBD.
