Welcome to the second weekend of Winter ’25! Opening weekend was epic, congrats to the legends who scored our limited-edition First Chair Tees.

Whitestar opens this Saturday! That means even more terrain to explore, more lines to lap, and more mountain fun to be had. Game on. 

Treble Cone opens next Friday, June 27. Mark it in the group chat and call in a sick day. There’ll be live DJs on the deck to kick off the season.

Weather

The week’s looking like a mixed bag with sunshine peeking through Saturday and Sunday. There’s a chance of light snow Friday night and Sunday day, so keep the layers close and fingers crossed. Sunday brings a few clouds and some mountain breeze, so it’s a great excuse to head in for a hot choc at Vista.

Where to Refuel 

Fuel your frosty adventures at these open outlets:  

  • Base Café – pies, fries, and fast mountain fuel 

  • Base Bar – barista brews, healthy choices, and your first après of the season  

  • The Mezz – quality restaurant eats if you’re after a slower start  

  • Vista Bar – bubbles at the top, with views to match

  • The Lounge – open from Saturday, perfect for a morning pastry
