Scenic lift rides are canceled today due to a high wind advisory. Unfortunately the trade-off for our beautiful views in the mountains is sometimes we get hit with mountain weather. All pre-purchased tickets will be automatically refunded.

Our next scenic lift rides opportunity is next Sunday (23rd). We hope to see you then! Learn more at https://arcticvalley.org/summer-2/chairliftrides/
