Mountain Report

Hey, Beast fans,

It's going to be a beautiful Saturday and we've got plenty of sunshine in the forecast all weekend long! We'll start the day with temperatures on the cooler side in the mid-30s before warming into the low 50s by the afternoon.

Mountain bikers, this is your last call for laps this season! The Bike Park is back for one final weekend of riding, with Snowshed Express spinning through Sunday, October 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please note, all hiking trails and mountain bike trails that remain open will close after this Sunday. Keep an eye on our Lifts and Trails Status page for the latest updates. 

In the Bike Park, we've got every trail open off of the Snowshed Express from beginner classics like Wiggle and Roller all the way up to some of your favorite freeride lines including Jump Start and the Stinky Skills Zone. Step It Up is now open from top to bottom after Trail Crew wrapped up work on the middle section this past week, and there's lots of fresh dirt to be found on the recently reworked upper section as well. Shout out to the crew for all of their hard work on this trails this summer.

Switching gears back to winter, Mother Nature has been dipping temps below freezing overnight, giving us a taste of what’s to come. If you spotted some white on the mountain, it’s because we fired up around 165 snow guns last weekend! We’re hitting pause on snowmaking ahead of this weekend, as temperatures aren’t expected to stay below freezing long enough to provide a suitable snowmaking window. Rest assured, we’ll be ready to fire them back up when conditions allow. Please note, we do not have a scheduled opening day for the 2026/27 winter season a this time. Stay tuned!

As we enter our third year under independent ownership, we’re committing another $15 million to capital improvements, bringing our total infrastructure investment to $80 million since fall 2024. With another $200 million in projected capital expenditures over the next decade, we’re building an exciting future for The Beast. Check out our latest Insider Blog for all the details.

The alpine racing season has officially started and the countdown to the Stifel Killington Cup presented by Dunkin’ is ON! We’re just over a month away from welcoming the world’s fastest women’s alpine ski racers to Superstar, November 27–29, for a weekend of world-class racing, live music, and thousands of East Coast ski fans. And the slopes aren’t the only thing bringing the heat! Our live music lineup has officially dropped, so grab your tickets now for our biggest event of the year!

Enjoy the trails for one last weekend of laps and get stoked for winter!
