Ski Center Status:
11:00 am, Wednesday 19 Jan. '22: We received 9" of new snow in the last storm. The temperatures are forecasted to be around 20 F in the morning and around 35 F around noon. The snow report will be updated when we get more snow or the temperatures go above freezing. (High Point temperatures are usually 10 F colder than New York City, and 5 F colder than the local towns.)
Online reservations have been deleted due to overwhelming numbers of customer requests. Parking lots filled to capacity and unpredictable weather have caused high numbers in refund/rebook administration. For the weekends last winter we reached parking capacity, and park rangers closed the park approximately from 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. (We are going back to "first come first serve" on all our services).
The best idea is to ski during the week or on Wednesday nights. The operation is now based out of the new ski lodge, (Interpretive/Nature Center). The public floor space is increased six times compared to the old ski lodge we used for the last 25 years. The parking lot closest to the lodge is for 80 cars, and parking for handicapped skiers ONLY is next to the lodge. Overflow is in the old lot for an additional 160 cars. Increased lodge space is critical for a safer pandemic environment during check-in for trail passes, rental equipment, and lessons. The traffic flow inside the lodge is one way. Please read all signs and follow directions. We ask all our customers to limit their stay in the lodge on weekends and holidays, and keep social distancing. Bring backpacks to store your footwear when renting equipment to save a trip back to the car for storage and to enjoy snacks while on the trails.
Season passes are good for the following year any time our season falls short of 30 days of operation (46 days last winter). We will open for night skiing on Wednesdays again and possibly include Tuesday and Thursday nights. Bring your headlamp or rent one in the lodge.

We put down a lot more wood chips again this summer and fall to be able to operate with minimal amounts of snow (4-5").
