Winter is officially here… a little earlier than planned! After a whopping 37 inches of fresh snowfall this week, the mountain is looking too good to wait – so we’re kicking off the 25/26 winter season TODAY, Thursday, November 20!
Grab your gear, rally your crew, and head up for a spontaneous afternoon on the slopes. First chair loads at 12 PM at the base of the Arizona Gondola!
What’s Open for Opening Day
We’re launching the season with the Arizona Gondola, offering access to advanced terrain only. You’ll be able to ski and ride:
- Spur Catwalk
- Lower Bowl
- Log Jam
- Wild Turkey
- Round Up
It’s a powder-filled start, but keep in mind: early-season conditions still exist. Please ski & ride smart and always follow Your Responsibility Code while enjoying the fresh snow.
Can’t Make It Today? All the First Chair Fever Continues Tomorrow!
If you can’t sneak away for today’s bonus day, don’t worry – tomorrow’s full Opening Day celebration is stacked with fun.
Starting at 8 AM, swing by Agassiz for:
- FREE hot cocoa, coffee, and donuts (while supplies last!)
- A special giveaway for the first 100 skiers & riders in line at the Arizona Gondola:
