Surface conditions are powder/packed powder/machine groomed with early season conditions – expect rocks and unmarked obstacles.  All Lifts are operating from 9:00am to 4:00pm, giving access to roughly 80% of the mountain.  Lift tickets are at regular rates; $93 for adults, $62 for seniors, and $46 for children.
