East Wall

A few of you have been hitting me up about the East Wall status. When "The Wall" is ready, it is one of the finest ski experiences anywhere. Whether you are catching a nice powder run below the traverse, turning around boulders in Land of the Giants, scrambling into 2nd Notch, or dropping through the Snorkel Door, The Wall offers a vast variety and skiing and riding experiences. She typically opens when the base is in the 50-ish inch range. Once we get Montezuma Bowl open, you can really start asking "When" for The Wall.

Norway Lift


We run Norway Lift on busier days typically weekends and holidays. She is a classic 1978 Lift Engineering fixed grip double chairlift. The lift offers beautiful views on a sunny day and provides good access to much of the Upper Mountain. While most people ride Lenawee Lift on the Upper Mountain, there are definitely a few ardent Norway fans out there.

Treeline Terrain Park


The Treeline Terrain Park is now open with half a dozen features. The picnic table has always been one of my favorites. DQ and the gang have done a fine job getting the park ready. Enjoy.

More Basin Images


Check out these images sent in by Scott Carlson a few days ago. This morning we had a very nice 3" of new snow. Go Broncos.

Crystal Clear


Geez, what an afternoon, absolutely crystal clear. Spent about 1/2 hour at The Summit late in the day. Looking all directions, North into The Basin, South into Montezuma Bowl, and West/Northwest towards Tenderfoot Mountain and the Gore Range, the views were outstanding. That time of day, the colors of the shadows, the sky, and mountains are really cool.
