Brundage Mountain Resort Unlocks Full Slopes and Holiday Cheer with Fresh Snowfall
Brundage Mountain Resort is set to usher in a festive and exhilarating holiday season with the much-anticipated opening of its Lakeview Triple Chair on Sunday, December 28th. This significant development comes on the heels of a substantial Christmas storm that blanketed the resort with a generous 10 to 15 inches of pristine, powder snow. The activation of the Lakeview Triple Chair means that all of Brundage Mountain’s chairlifts will now be operational, granting skiers and snowboarders access to the vast majority of the resort’s meticulously prepared terrain.
“This storm cycle delivered precisely what we were hoping for,” commented Ken Rider, the General Manager of Brundage Mountain. “Our dedicated crews have been working with remarkable speed and precision to transform this fresh snowfall into an exceptional experience for our guests, both on skis and snowboards.”
While the recent snowfall has been a boon for the resort’s winter operations, it also presented challenges. High winds, a common companion to significant winter storms, unfortunately caused some trees to fall across various parts of the resort. However, Brundage Mountain’s maintenance teams are diligently working around the clock, clearing these obstacles to ensure that additional runs can be opened as safely and swiftly as possible. Rider emphasized the importance of guest safety, advising all visitors to be aware of early-season conditions. He strongly urged everyone to observe and respect all closure signs posted throughout the resort, which are in place for their protection.
The excitement at Brundage Mountain is not limited to the slopes. The resort is also preparing to host its beloved annual “Light Up the Night” event to ring in the New Year. This spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration promises to be a memorable occasion, featuring a dazzling torchlight parade that will illuminate the mountain, followed by a breathtaking fireworks display. To ensure easy and convenient access for attendees, Brundage Mountain will be offering a complimentary shuttle service specifically for the “Light Up the Night” event. Furthermore, the popular daytime shuttle service connecting McCall to Brundage Mountain is now operating on its full-time schedule, providing reliable transportation for daily visitors.
