First STARS Clinic 1/7/26- Cancelled

 Hi STARS:

Unfortunately, we have experienced significant rainfall that has caused road closures, particularly along Highway 2 and 138. Due to these conditions, we have had to temporarily close operations here at Mountain High. Therefore, we will not be having our Senior clinic on Wednesday, January 7th.

Please know that we are doing everything possible to reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. Your safety is always our top priority.

At this time, the online purchase link is not active. We are hopeful that it will be up and running again soon and will keep you updated as soon as we have confirmation.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back hopefully, January 14th  for our First Senior STARS Clinic.

Ski you soon,
Bill

STARS Update #4

 Hi STARS,

We’re officially gearing up for our first Senior Program STARS Clinic on Wednesday, January 7th at 9:00 AM, and I couldn’t be more excited to kick off another great season with all of you!

Snow conditions are improving every day, and with snowmaking scheduled as temperatures allow, we’re on track for a fantastic start. By the end of December, the mountain will be in excellent shape—and by January 7th, we’ll be more than ready to make some great turns together!

Online purchasing will open by December 22nd.
Please purchase all lift tickets, lessons, and rentals online. If you choose to buy at the resort, you must make your purchase at the Ticket Center located in the parking lot—this is where you’ll receive your lift ticket, lesson ticket, and rentals. I highly recommend purchasing online, as many clinics sold out last year.

On clinic day, simply ride the First Tracks (moving carpet) up to the Ski School area. I’ll be there to check you in between 8:15 AM and 9:00 AM.
