Today's Report
Today marks 10 years of Larry’s passing, and some days it is just truly so hard to believe. For those who don’t Larry he is our founder and spirit of Highlands. He would be the cheery fellow at the Service Bench wearing the hat that didn’t quite cover his ears (he preached the importance of a hat to keep the heat in but hated things covering his ears if he could help it), handing out skis exciting to be bringing new people to the sport. Whether you knew Larry or not I hope you spend the day getting out doing something you are passionate about. Me? I’ll be out for a long ski and finish my day with a bucket of chicken wings. And if that doesn’t scream Larry I don’t know what does.
Onto the report of the day. We received a dusting of snow that Chanse has groomed with the Husky. Everything is in fantastic shape. What a great season so far! A little bit more wind today so you may find some drifting on the Back Red, Woolner and Teal’s Tango. It will be easy to find enough trails in the trees to skip those windy parts!
By the way did you take a look at the upcoming events we have

NIGHT SKIING
Wednesday and Fridayβs we will be open until 8. Since conditions can be variable we will make a call each Wednesday and Friday morning if we feel it is safe to go ahead with Night Skiing.

We havenβt been getting a lot of sunshine lately so bring your headlamp to ensure you have light coverage on your ski.
