Dream of getting those first tracks? Well we have a special treat for you!

On select dates this winter, we’re offering the opportunity for a limited number of guests to board Lift 1 at 7:30 am and ski/ride laps on Lift 3 and 8 before the mountain opens. First Tracks Access grants you early morning turns and the opportunity to claim first tracks on the mountain. With First Tracks Brunch, you can celebrate at the Backside Bistro after your early turns with Champagne, warm pastries and a buffet brunch, served up fresh. Learn more. Season pass or lift ticket required to participate.
