Temperatures at the ski area are regularly dropping below freezing now! Our crew took a chilly and snowy ride up Chair 2 yesterday to close up the Chair 2 Cabin for the winter.

10/10/2026

Today was load test day on Chair 1! We filled the uphill chairs with 459 lbs of water each in cardboard boxes lined with trash bags. After loading the chairs, we tested each of the 4 brakes independently, making sure each would hold the lift loaded to capacity + 10%. After completing all the brake checks, we hooked up the evacuation engine and made sure it would pull the lift if needed.

Thanks to our lift ops staff for doing the chilly work of loading all that water at 35* this morning.

With this project complete, Chair 1 is ready for the season!

We got a LOT of snow last week! The storm total was easily over a foot between Wednesday & Thursday. It was great to see so many folks out getting after it too!

Things did warm up considerably over the weekend, so the snow is melting now, but this is a great start to the season. Remember if you're up riding at Arctic Valley pre-season: no avalanche control is being performed, no ski patrol or rescue services are available, and the area should be treated as you would any other backcountry terrain.

In particular we want to thank and for providing delicious food and b**r for the evening. Also a huge thanks to our top corporate donors: Alaska Airlines, , , , , and !
