\u00a0Weekend Operating Hours<\/strong>We\u2019re giving the mountain a little extra polish each morning, so operations will begin with a delayed start:
Madonna Lift: 10:00 AM<\/strong>
Sterling Lift: 9:00 AM<\/strong><\/p>\n
So come up. Take a few more runs. Stay a little longer in the parking lot. Snap that last photo. Laugh a little louder. Let the season end the way it deserves\u2014full of life, full of connection, full of stories you\u2019ll carry into summer.<\/p>\n
See you out there for one last ride.\u00a0![\"\ud83c\udfbf\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f3bf.png\")

When the skis come off and the boots finally unbuckle, Smuggs doesn\u2019t power down\u2026 it simply changes costumes.

Plenty, as it turns out. Here’s a couple ideas to keep the family fun going.<\/p>\n![\"\ud83c\udfca\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f3ca-200d-2642-fe0f.png\")

The\u00a0Courtside Pool<\/strong>\u00a0is open and ready for action. Whether you’re doing cannonballs, lazy floating, or supervising from poolside like a sun-loving lifeguard-in-spirit, it\u2019s an easy win for all ages. Just remember your towel\u2026 the mountain provides the fun, but not the dry-off.<\/p>\n![\"\ud83c\udfaf\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f3af.png\")

Step into the\u00a0FunZone<\/em> 2.0<\/strong>\u00a0and watch your schedule politely vanish. This place is a magnet for energy, laughter, and \u201cjust one more game\u201d promises. From kids to grown-ups rediscovering their competitive streak, it\u2019s the kind of spot where hours slip by unnoticed and nobody\u2019s mad about it.<\/p>\n![\"\ud83c\udf3f\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f33f.png\")
