La Nina Delivers Massive February Snowfall!

Considering how much different this season has been due to the pandemic, it almost seems fitting that it would also turn out to be one of the best seasons for snowfall in recent memory. If you’re a local skier or snowboarder you know we have received an incredible amount of snow this last month, but just how much was it? Well, we’ve got the breakdown… and it’s a bit mind blowing!

A Big Shout Out To Our Crew


As you might imagine, keeping the mountain open has been a herculean effort - we've probably shoveled a hundred elephants worth of snow in February alone. Our team has worked their tails off to keep the resort running as smoothly as possible, and if March delivers like February we'll be ready to do it all again. We love this stuff and are looking forward to an awesome spring at The Summit.
