On November 12, we opened for the 2020/21 season with some thoughtful changes to our operation. We can say that these changes have been successful and we can't thank you enough for your efforts in complying with these measures. Your individual efforts continue to help us play our part in keeping the ski season alive and bettering everyone's well-being. Ski well, be well!
If you haven't already been introduced to our perfectly situated parking system, our unique parking lot layout allows you to ski and snowboard onto the slopes from your vehicle at any time throughout the day. This means that you are able to easily access extra gear or clothing and you will have the luxury of eating your picnic lunch in the security of your own space in one of our four parking lots. While some of our indoor amenities are open for take-out food and beverage items with limited seating, we encourage you to take full advantage of eating lunch at your vehicle or perhaps you'd rather enjoy a break in our outdoor warming huts at Caribou Chalet. Don't hesitate to check out the outdoor seating at mid-mountain and indulge in Bavarian food specials, freshly made pizza and take-out food and beverage options from Charlie's Bar.
