West Mountain is ready to kick off its 2020-21 season, opening this weekend, Saturday, December 19 for skiing and riding! The snow tubing park will open on December 26.
“We are looking forward to welcoming our guests this winter to enjoy the outdoors”, said Sara Montgomery, General Manager of West Mountain. “With so many families at home doing virtual learning this year, getting on the mountain and getting exercise will be a much-needed activity and escape!”
West Mountain offers beginner through advanced terrain and will be open for day and nighttime skiing, riding and tubing. The mountain staff has been focused on creating new, safe and innovative operations and programs to run this season, including:
- A new Freestyle Development Program
- A new Alpine Racing Academy for U12+ athletes
- Learn to Ski and Snowboard packages for youth and adult first-time beginners
- Continuation of the programs after school for school children
Additionally, during non-holiday periods, West Mountain will offer popular ticket promotions such as Monday and Tuesday 4-hour ticket specials and breakfast or lunch plus lift ticket specials. For those who don’t ski or ride, West Mountain offers 10 lanes of tubing fun for all
ages and abilities.
The resort has been open throughout COVID-19 pandemic offering safe, outdoor and socially distanced activities. West Mountain has been diligently working on safety plans leading up to the winter season opening, including the addition of outdoor eating and seating areas, warming tents, grab-n-go food and beverage windows, additional outdoor restrooms and controlled capacity at the two separate base-lodge areas (Main Base Lodge and Northwest Base Lodge).
“While our number one goal is to run a safe operation this season, it is also our goal to ensure that our guests do not incur any additional stress or inconvenience when they visit West Mountain”, said Spencer Montgomery, Co-Owner and Managing Member of West Mountain. “Sure, things will be a little different operationally this year, but our staff is here to provide an enjoyable and stress-free environment. People have already been through so much this year; skiing and riding is a chance to simply enjoy being outdoors with friends and family.”
