Maintenance is making big efforts towards making snow when temps will be up and down! A shout out to the Hyland Maintenance! We still have a couple of weeks before trails can open, but we are getting closer.

We make snow when temps are below 28 degrees. We plan to begin to make snow tomorrow night (Thursday); night time only. We cannot make snow during the day until the temps drop below 28 degrees. As soon as daytime temps drop; we will make snow 24/7. We are anticipating it will take 2 weeks to get anything open; weather permitting. The colder the weather is the key to producing larger amounts of snow, faster. The warmer daytime temps will slow down the process. Trails are closed until we get enough snow made.
