According to a press release, the resort plans to open with service from five lifts, including Northern Spirit Express, Sunrise Quad, Payday, Silver Lode, and the Gold Fever Conveyor. The resort anticipates a strong opening weekend with significant terrain available and favorable early-season snow conditions.
The resort said that they will operate from Friday through Tuesday each week, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off, until Dec. 20, when daily operations are set to begin.
