Individual listings retain their own sources and check dates. A source check covers only the named details; it does not confirm availability. Snowfall averages describe climate, not a forecast.

Official FAQ lists 1,367 in-bounds acres, 3,247 total skiable acres and 113 runs, while the homepage announces 190 acres and six runs in the 2026–27 Short Side addition. It is unclear whether the FAQ includes that addition, so acreage, runs and terrain percentages are not verified. Lift count includes the handle tow.
