Important things to note:
-
PLEASE BRING A HEADLAMP!! We will have lights on both the uphill and downhill tracks, a headlamp is still very helpful for your descent, especially after 8pm when we pull lights.
*If descending after 8pm, please refer to our uphill policy and ski down Black Beauty.
-
We will be grooming our uphill and downhill routes before the event. Our goal is to have this completed by 5:30. If our red beacon light in the parking lot is on, our groomer is on the hill. PLEASE WAIT until we have turned off the light to begin your ascent.
*If conditions allow, we may adjust the ascent through terrain not accessible by a groomer
-
The ski down will be on moderate (Blue Square) groomed terrain. If you go up, please ensure that this is within your ability level
-
Please No Outside Alcohol
