The weather we've all been waiting for should be moving in late tonight and be with us for the next three days through Friday, December 26. It will start out a little warmer, could be wet on the lower mountain to start, then should turn to all snow with anywhere from a few to several feet by the time it winds down before the weekend.

TONIGHT'S AND WEDNESDAY MORNING'S WEATHER COULD AFFECT LIFT OPERATIONS FOR WEDNESDAY. WE WILL UPDATE THIS REPORT NO LATER THAN 5:30 WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH A WEATHER AND OPERATIONS UPDATE. PLEASE DO NOT HEAD UP TO CHINA PEAK WEDNESDAY MORNING UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED THIS PAGE FOR OUR OPERATING STATUS! 

We should see a clearing for the weekend of December 27-28 and cold temps to fire up snowmaking to supplement the natural snow and get more terrain open more quickly.

Wednesday we are scheduled to have Chair 2 to the top of the mountain serving Kaiser, Chair 6 out of the base area serving Sundown Ridge to Lower Academy and Chair 4 on the lower west side. Open facilities include the Day Lodge, cafeteria, Buckhorn, Sully's, ski and snowboard rentals, ski and snowboard lessons for first timers and lower levels and China Peak Sports for terrific holiday shopping. Our new coffee bar, The Lift, is now open inside the newly remodeled Sully's.

The Inn will be closed on Christmas Eve, December 24, and then be open nightly through January 4. Book online or call (559) 233-1200.
