The wait is over. Our local ski resort officially opens tomorrow, Friday, December 19, 2025, kicking off an incredible 60th season of operations. That’s six decades of fresh tracks, bluebird days, powder mornings, and generations of memories made on this mountain.
To celebrate this milestone, the first 60 guests to arrive at Lodgepole will receive giveaways in honor of the resort’s 60th season. Even better, the first chair of the season will score a special swag bag – bragging rights included. Make sure your pass is ready, tag your ski buddies, and help spread the word. Winter is officially back.
Opening day will focus on beginner terrain and services while conditions continue to build across the mountain.
