The fun isn’t over yet! The weather is looking fortuitous this upcoming week bringing in one last round of snow. Thanks to everyone who whooped it up at the Rail Jam and Raven’s Edge Race. If you missed the Raven’s Edge Race yesterday, you’re in luck. The race continues on Sunday! Check in starts at 8 AM on the third floor of the Heather Meadows day lodge. Don’t want to compete? Come spectate!

Another friendly reminder that the mountain will be closed Monday through Thursday. Friday (April 17th) marks the start of our closing weekend so don’t miss out! There is still shredding to be done. The snow coming this week makes for an excellent build up to our final days of the season.

We are always excited to see you up here and look forward to a bang out closing weekend!

April 11 & 12: RAVEN’S EDGE RACEThis race is open to all skiers and snowboarders of any age who would like the chance to run the gates, no experience required. It is hosted by the Komo Kulshan Ski Club and helps raise funds to support the club’s mission of bringing skiing opportunities to children who might not otherwise get the chance.
