Sunday Funday!!

It's another great day to be up on the mountain. We were able to open Upper Wild Turkey on highlands bringing our slope total to 23 out of 26. We are also under a Winter Storm Warning and that means some fresh pow is on the way. We will try to keep everyone up to date with road conditions as the snow starts to fall. Keep your eye on the webcams to see the fresh snow pile up. There are still some lift tickets available for tomorrow. If you have never been skiing during or right after a snowstorm... well here's your chance. 

Lift ticket sales may be limited to ensure a quality mountain experience. Due to anticipated high demand, especially during peak holiday periods, lift tickets and rentals must be purchased online in advance. In the event lift tickets sell out, guests will not be able to buy them in-resort at the ticket window. Wintergreen Club Members, Mission: Affordable season passes, Mission Four’dable quad pack tickets, Buddy Tickets purchased with the passholder present, resort lodging guests, and lift tickets bought as part of a ski and snowboard school package are guaranteed access.
