We've got an inch of fresh snow on the ground and smiles on our faces as we make the final preparations to open our season tomorrow, Friday, December 20th. A thin cover in the base area has driven us to change a few things, and we want our guests to know what to expect on opening day:
Here's what will be different than usual on Opening Day:
Number of Lifts Operating: We plan to run three of our five lifts Friday: the BlueBird Quad, Centennial Triple Chair and Easy Street. Lakeview and the Bear Chair will not operate Friday. Hidden Valley is closed for your safety.
Number of Runs Groomed: Upper mountain runs are groomed and in great shape. Grooming is limited on the lower reaches of the mountain, but Easy Street IS groomed for our beginner crowd.
Lower Mountain Access:
The only runs that have been groomed top-to-bottom are Engen, 45th Parallel & Temptation. Please keep that in mind if you are bringing novice skiers to the summit. Temptation is a green run but it is more than 2 miles long, so make sure your ski buddies are prepared for that.
You can find more details on the grooming and slope conditions
Lift Ticket Prices: Opening Day visitors will be treated to discount pricing - just $36 for an all-mountain Adult lift ticket. You can buy an Easy Street only ticket for $15.
Here's what will be the same:
All regular services will be available.
Guest Services, Ticket Windows, Rental and Retail Shops, Daycare and the Snowsports School will be open. Please feel free to call ahead if you have questions: 208-634-4151.
All base area food & beverage outlets will be open.
Smoky's Bar & Grill, the SideStash Cafe and our newly-improved Main Street Market & Eatery (on the third floor) will be open daily.
We're offering FREE coffee in the SideStash Cafe on opening day and great new combos in the Main Street Market & Eatery all season long - details are below.
