It’s official! Our scheduled opening day for the 2025/26 winter season is set for November 21, 2025. That means that as of today August 13, 2025, we’re just 100 short days away from that feeling we all know and love — fresh turns, crisp mountain air, and maximum stoke with the crew.
It won’t be long now until the mountain is covered in snow, and our teams have been working all summer long to make sure your first day back on the slopes is better than ever.
Here’s everything you need to know to get ready for opening day — plus a few can’t-miss events and deals to kick off the countdown.
Resort Enhancements for 2025/26
We’ve been busy this summer ensuring an even better winter:
- Brand-new ski boots & helmets in our rental fleet for comfort and safety.
- Improved gladed tree runs near the Arizona Gondola lift line for adventurous lines and powder stashes.
- Enhanced snowmaking in the Humphreys Chairlift area for longer seasons and top-notch coverage.
- Improved Wi-Fi so you can share every epic moment.
