Closing Time

So, once again we find ourselves here. 
But, that "here" is an ambiguous location, one that can mean any number of places for any number of people. Maybe it's closing weekend on your last runs of the winter. Maybe it was the rental shop where you tried on your first pair of ski boots and winced in agony as they vacuum sealed around your foot. Maybe it was Devil's Playground with your youngest daughter for another round of steep, adrenaline-pumping euphoria on the deepest day of the season. Maybe it was alone by the fire in the Tavern as you enjoyed a drink or three during a warm and well-deserved vacation. Maybe it was all of these places. Or somewhere else entirely.
Regardless of where "here" is for you, it's special. It's a unique moment of realization when everything fades away and all that's left is a sense of being. Of respite. Of comfort. It's what living in the moment really means, and it's something we strive to provide here at the resort every day. We set out this fall to make you feel at home. With any luck, by the end of the spring, we succeeded.
Hopefully you've found yourself this winter. And hopefully you continue to do so in the coming years. Thanks for reading, watching, clicking and sharing this season. Enjoy the final day on the slopes and we'll see you in December.

This Is It

Welcome to closing weekend! $19 night skiing tickets starting at 4pm, $10 off the rack rate when you purchase tickets in person at the resort and even more savings found buy ordering tickets online!

That's a bittersweet statement for oh so many of us. Despite the warming temperatures, more frequent sunshine, rotting snow and impending summer, few of us are truly prepared to hang up our boots and jackets for another eight months. But, that's precisely why we must.

If winter came every day, we wouldn't appreciate it, yearn for it and feel at home in it nearly as much as we do now. And, while I'm sure everyone reading this is just as happy to slide downhill on snow as I am, I think we can all agree it's time for a little warm weather. Regardless, it was a fun year filled with memories.
