After a dry December compared to the 2022-2023 ski season, January is off to a great start with a powerful storm gifting 29 inches of fresh powder for skiers and boarders. Conditions are powder and packed powder with unmarked obstacles.
Wolf Creek’s all-natural midway base is 55 inches. The year-to-date snowfall total finally crept over the 100 inch mark and is now sitting at 113 inches. All lifts are operating from 8:30am to 4:00pm with 100% of all terrain open! Lift tickets are at regular rates: $89 for adults, $58 for seniors and $44 for children.
Lift tickets are available for pre-purchase at shop.WolfCreekSki.com. New Lift Ticket Pickup Boxes (kiosks) in the Base Camp Lodge now make pre-purchased tickets convenient for guests by giving the option of skipping the main Ticket Office. Regular adult, senior and children lift tickets can be printed at the kiosks.
Current Conditions:
Summit Snow Depth: 58″
Midway Snow Depth: 55″
Latest Storm: 29″
Snowfall YTD: 113″
The Upper Lodge, Pathfinder Bar, Continental Espresso Bar, Base Camp, Raven’s Roost, Alberta Grill and Prospector are all open. For guests who have food sensitivities, we recommend using the Base Camp Lodge, our picnic facility, to bring up your own lunch that meets your allergy and dietary restrictions.
Ski/Snowboard School, Ski/Snowboard Rentals and Treasure Sports are open daily.
The Fun Loop, The Meadow Loop, and Lake Spur Nordic Trails were groomed on Friday, January 5.
Overnight parking in the Overflow Lot is permitted to ski area guests only, who are recreating on Wolf Creek Ski Area’s special use permit, i.e. ski area boundary, as well as participants of the Pass Creek Yurt.
An uphill pass ($5.00/year) is required for ascending and can be purchased at the Ticket Office. Uphill traffic is allowed only during operating hours and must proceed to the side of the runs as downhill traffic possesses right-of-way.
Wolf Creek is taking applications for all departments: accounting, lifts, ski school, food and beverage, base operations, retail, ticket office and more. Please check out the Employment Page to download an application.
